[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the owners is my husband's father. The other 2 owners are the dads brother and sister (cousin's mom).
The boogie board was $275.
The child that broke the board wasn't staying at the house, but they were all at the beach at the same time.
We have other things at the house that we allow others to use and these are in the main shed or in the house. I disagree with some of you about just letting this go. The rules of the house were clear. We have not had issues in the past 12 years that we have been using it. If it was me who damaged something, I'd replace it, and we did this once when we bought a new beach umbrella when the old one another cousin contributed broke as I was opening it.
Glad the cousin finally agreed to compensate us and annoyed his mom is getting in the middle.

So you stay at the house for free, your dad stores your stuff for free and you have your panties in a wad about this?  At least your cousin called to tell you[/quote]

Please enlighten the rest of us how the amount that OP pays to stay at this house is relevant to reimbursement for the damage of her property. So if she paid money to her father, aunt and uncle to rent the house, then her stuff should be protected from destruction? But since her family allows her to use it for free, she should allow for her stuff to be destroyed without replacement? WTF does this have to do with anything? You sound petty and jealous that you don’t have a similar arrangement of a free beach house vacation. Full disclosure, I’m jealous too, but I still know to pay for crap that my kid or my guest destroys. [/quote]
