[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many people on DCUM just assume that others have bad intentions, including their close friends. That's weird to me. It's clear that OP doesn't want to let her friends stay there because she perceives that they're asking for a monetary gift (which I don't see, but whatever), and will dig her heels in farther and farther any time there is pushback. So you do you, OP. I think it will be awkward this way, but you seem prepared to deal with that.[/quote]

I think the friends made it awkward. [/quote]

+1 Same.  You can tell who does not own a second home, by their responses. For instance, cleaning fees alone, during season are about $500. (no, I won't divulge where). This may be difficult for non-owners to grasp, especially since some people are of the "Robin Hood" mindset. It beats paying full rental price, but takers don't see it that way. [/quote]

You really can't tell, because I'm one of the people who lets friends use our beach place. I couldn't tell you what cleaning fees are, because we do that ourselves (we're frugal, not rich). People often leave us gift cards for local restaurants, which is lovely, but not expected.[/quote]

Wow you must have a lot of time and money to travel back and forth and take time off like that. Good for you!?[/quote]

I have a F/T job at a nonprofit. If friends use our place, we deal with any cleanup the next time we go.

If it's really that much of an ordeal, you have the wrong friends.[/quote]

More than likely you don't own anything or it's a dump.[/quote]
