Short term rental bed set up?
For a short term rental in Florida close to beach.
What is best bed / bedroom set up?
Bedroom one : 1 King size
Bedroom 2: 1 queen?
Bedroom 3: 2 twin? Or 1 bunk bed (2 twin beds) plus another twin?
Are pull out couches recommended ?
Is this just dependent on how many people you want to allow to sleep at the property?

That said, I love the pyramid strategy for 3BRs: 1 queen (for the happy couple) + 2 full (for the angry couple) + 2 bunks (for the kids or last friend that paid). Result: 8-10 person capacity with lower upfront cost, significant flexibility in sleeping arrangements, and maximum "heads in bed" capacity as @John Underwood aptly calls out as essential to your STR success.
