# 180-Degree Panoramic Ocean Views in the New Open-Plan Beach House Concept
*Ultra-luxury and contemporary, the stand alone residences at Beach Houses have mastered blurring the line between indoor and outdoor Caribbean living creating the perfect holiday home for your family. A unique development on Barbados’ revered East Coast, Beach Houses offers fractional and quarter share ownership options, as well as outright ownership as a vacation home or residential villa.*
## Lock-off design ideal for flexibility of use
The initial Beach House design, with a self-contained studio lock-off, was inspired by the similar lock-off concept used in three bedroom units at Beach Houses’ sister property, [The Crane.](https://www.thecrane.com)The lock-off is ideal for extended families as well as those interested in renting out some of the space in their unit, while still enjoying ultimate privacy.
## Open plan concept creates one unified family space
Earlier this year, a suggestion was made to remove the lock-off divider, as many were keen on a style suited for a single family – requiring only one kitchen and, specifically, no divider through the 57-foot pool.
