[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't rent our vacation house, but we love when friends or family can use it when we can't. We use a cleaning service after our own stays, and we tend to ask people to pay that...but it's a tiny fraction of what renting a house would be.

Maybe because we don't rent the place this doesn't seem like an imposition...but my parents have a place that'll they rent our, but they let friends and family use it for free.

For us and my parents, the properties are there for enjoyment and also are long term investments. 1-2 weeks of rent or a cleaning fee just doesn't change the math at all. [b]But friends enjoying themselves? That gives me joy as well.[/b][/quote]

Previous poster again.  I could have written this post as well!! 
It gives me great joy to know that quite a few of our friends have enjoyed our house over the years and have made their own memories there.  It's a happy place a few blocks from the ocean.

We feel very fortunate to have purchased it when we did.  It was a lucky move the year after hurricane Sandy.

Yes, it makes me ecstatic to give up a prime rental week, and not use it myself,  for people who don't respect the place as their own and expect to use it every year for free.  Here, let me move my things out for you so you can move in. Why don't you take the whole summer? On me!  We can deliver groceries by hand, too.  Let me know what you need. I especially love paying your cleaning fee. Because doormat. What else do you expect for free? By all means, name it! We didn't buy the house for us, we bought it for you.  Everything is for you. When can we deliver the keys?  So you want keys to all the house, or just one?

This thread takes the cake. Y'all think people are thinking about you, when they have their own families, and their own issues first and foremost, to tend to. GMAB. [/quote]
