[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of the reasons we don't really encourage friends to use our beach house. It's a  house that would rent for $4000 a week if we were to rent it. Between cleaning and utilities, [b]along with wear and tear (broken glasses, etc) it costs us $500 week for someone else to use it.[/b] And based on this thread people think it's tacky to ask to cover the cleaning fee. We are delighted to have guests when we are there, and have friends nearly every weekend in summer.  [/quote]

When my family is at the beach house - [b]it is coveted family/vacation time[/b].  We have had people assume it is okay to use our beach house, or assume it is okay to crash our own vacation time.  No effing way. [/quote]

+2 I feel this way in general. Even at your beach house, its my vacation, too. No service, no saying there for me. Its just too much to clean an entire 4BR home after a vacation. Tidy it for a service yes, deep clean, no.[/quote]

That's fine - but you should at least PAY FOR cleaning.  If you are too much of a "taker", don't expect to be invited back.  Ever. And inviting yourself on our vacation - NOT going to happen. [/quote]
