Highly unlikely. One of the kids would post something on FB or Insta. Their secret wouldn't last a week.
LOL. Ok. Your right kids totally have no idea how to run around their parents. A truism if ever I heard one.

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.

I absolutely believe it. Growing up my best friend's parents had a house on St. Simons. During college and law school her parents let her use it for the summer. Competition was FIERCE to get a spot. You have any idea who you rub elbows with in the summer down there? Judges, Senators, Congressmen, etc. These are people that can set you up for life.

OP here.
So many angry people. Maybe you wouldn't be so angry if you had a beach house?
Anyway, update.
First kids mom has come grovelling back asking over the course of three emails if her kid could please join the beach house. She apologized profusely and claimed she'd been emotional when she sent the email. Answer was "Too bad, so sad"
Three other boys have since come forward asking if they could rent the other bunks in the bunk house and they got into a bidding war- offering $2000 each. DH and BILs said no because of the septic system. I thought they were foolish because for 7k you could almost replace the system which is nearing its end of life anyway.
So- here's the takeaway if you're a mom. Keep your gossipy mouth shut and play nice. Because it will cost your kid socially big time.
