[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all of you naysarers claiming no one would rent a place without water, I'd direct your attention to the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club or the PATC. It's a club I have been a member of for meany years and it owns and operates approximately 45 cabins for rent in the mid Atlantic.

The vast majority of them have not only no water, but no electricity as well.

And this weekend, in the dead of winter, there are zero vacancies. Not a single cabin is available.

They are routinely booked fully two months out.

So I ask you- if a cabin with no heat and no water and no electricity is fully booked on a 22F degree weekend, why in God's name would an air conditioned, lighted bunk house at the beach (and adjacent to a bathroom and kitchen) go unfilled?

It's frankly, laughable. I bet there are literally dozens of kids who would jump at the chance to stay there.[/quote]
The PATC cabins are rented out by people who sought out that specific experience. The friend in question wasn’t in the market for a beach rental until OP’s son pitched the idea of living together at the beach. Also, most of the people renting cabins from PATC probably have a higher income than that of a college student doing seasonal work over the summer and, most importantly, this friend wasn’t going to the beach for a weekend/week long getaway, like people renting PATC cabins. He was asked to live there for 3 MONTHS. The PATC doesn’t invite people for the whole simmer in order to keep them company. Finally, this family’s beach house has never been an income-generating rental unit this kid was invited to live in the glorified shed.[/quote]
