(2) Twin Beds Vs Bunk Beds Vs Queen in 3rd Bedroom

I'm setting up a vacation rental in FL near the beach.  Home will have a King bed in Master Bedroom, and another King in Guest Bedroom #1.  For Guest Bed #2, which is a small 10.5 X 11FT room, would you set up dedicated twin beds?  Or do a bunk bed set up which would give the kids more room on the floor in front of the beds?  The room will have a TV, and the way I'm configuring it will be difficult to push the twin beds together.  I could also just do a queen bed in this room as well, I suppose, but I was trying to set this room up as more kid-friendly.

Put in a Queen bed instead of 2 twins or a bunkbed.  I have 82 beds in my STRs.  I think 4 or 5 are twins, the rest are F Q or K.  

I call twin beds birth control beds.  It's because no guy that gets that bed is going to get anyone pregnant in that bed.  It can happen in a F Q or K. 

A couple years ago I was on a pheasant hunt with 9 other guys and half a dozen dogs.  All of us slept in a bunk house in the basement of a motel.  5 bunkbeds, they were all twin.  Some people fell out of their upper bunk beds Friday and Saturday night.  They just slept on the floor, next to a dog, or on a couch after they fell out.  There was a lot of whiskey and beer those 2 nights.
