[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have eerily similar situation - one family member took a vacation house in exchange for less cash and now faces requests from the other family members to use it. Here were some helpful rules that kept the peace:

a) nobody gets to stay longer than a week
b) free stays are for immediate family only - friends of friends are not included (or in this case- the friends of a son of a girlfriend)
c) don’t ask for holidays or peak weeks - the new owner has dibs on those and shouldn’t be put in uncomfortable situation. 
d) anyone can feel free to inquire about market rate rents which will be considered on a case by case basis. [/quote]

What’s interesting is probably was not a free for all with the prior owner.  The people I know with beach houses might invite family to visit and stay with them as a mini vacation and as a way to spend time together.  Other than that the expectation is that it’s primarily available for their own use or available to rent out if they so choose.  “Free stays” without the beach owner there was more like a gift - like if someone was getting married offering them the lake house for their week  and was in no way an expectation.[/quote]
