OP is sentimental about the beach house. She's probably also disappointed that her 2 siblings didn't even want to discuss buying out the uncle together with her.
She said it all went pretty quickly. 
[b]Did all 3 siblings even take the time to discuss all the options available to them?[/b]

Siblings did not want to discuss what options were available, because they didn’t want to carry a second vacation home with their siblings, full stop. Commingling money with family is often a recipe for disaster, especially when you have multiple families involved. OP was already complaining on this thread about how her siblings would want to use the house (that they paid for, but whatever…)

If OP seriously (not a flight of fancy) wanted to buy it herself, I trust she could have made a deal with her uncle and father. [/quote]

It is a tricky dynamic for one sibling to just buy it all. Then what, OP and her husband change the locks and ban the others from visiting after they’ve been going there for 40 years? It also could look greedy and bullying to the broader extended  family, as if one sibling is “big-shotting” the others.[/quote]
