Promoting a comment to an answer:

Are your friends planning a single trip to the beach or plan to spend one week or two weeks beginning in 14 days?

In the mean time I would suggest any of these:

We have decided to go to the beach

  • in two weeks' time - trip starts in approximately 14 days and can be 1 day
  • two weeks from now - trip starts on this weekday 14 days from now and can be 1 day
  • the week after next - trip starts in 8-14 days and sounds to me it will last a week
