If you haven't discovered this yet, the Beach Hideaway adds up to 20% xp and money once you unlock all the modules. This is the best deal ever for just 40 donuts. For those of you asking how to build this number up so you can donut farm or earn millions of dollars, don't pass on this.

Can someone confirm all the extra upgrade items have to placed out to get the % accounted for? Ty!

Does it cost heights crafting material to level up the beach hideaway?

You only have to put out the items that are highlighted. When you level up you will go to your inventory. There will be an item that you just received that it highlighted. Put it out to activate the bonus.

How are you getting your 20% figure? If there are 5 available at 2% each that's a 10% increase

With each upgrade, you get placeable items that have more XP. In the end, including all the add-ons after a full upgrade, you get 20%.

According to someone on another site because the forum was down and I was going nuts not seeing (reading) you all.... here is what they posted:
Deck 3%
Walkway 4.5%
Stairs 1.5%
Hut 1.5%
Bridge 3%
Platform 1.5%
Gazebo 1.5%
Pool 1.5%

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
