She’s No Longer Allowing Her Sister-In-Law To Stay At Her Beach House After She Was Rude To The Airbnb Guests
Several years ago, this 31-year-old woman and her 38-year-old husband purchased a beach house right on the water.
It was severely beaten up when they bought it, and it’s located a few hours from their main home. It was her dream to fix the home, and her husband was supportive of it.
“I really put a lot of effort into fixing it as cheaply as possible, went over and stayed there for many nights, and literally did a lot of the construction (my husband came and helped about half the time),” she explained.
“I sourced recycled wood and such, so almost all the materials are “found” in some way. Once it was partially finished, I thought I could enlist my SIL’s help – so I told her about this project and asked if she wanted to come stay over for a few days with her family and help finish up the work.”
“She brought her kids and husband and slept out on the deck and did things like the painting and building some furniture, etc. When it was finished, it was really beautiful. We started renting it out on Airbnb and have had good success with that so far.”
She did give her sister-in-law permission to stay in the beach house whenever she wanted to, in exchange for her help with fixing the place up.
There are basically two apartments within the home, and each area has a separate bathroom and kitchen.
The apartment located on the top floor she has reserved for herself and her sister-in-law to stay in, while she rents the bottom one out on Airbnb.
A week ago, her sister-in-law was staying at the beach house at the exact same time that she had rented it out to some guests.

“I got a complaint from the guests afterward that my SIL’s kids had made fun of their kids and that my SIL told them that this was their house so the guests don’t get to dictate how their kids behave,” she said.
“I asked my SIL about this, and she said their kids wanted to play with the guests’ kids on the beach, and the guests’ kids tried to ask her kids to leave them alone, but they wouldn’t.”
“They were playing volleyball and her kids were much better, and “rightfully proud of it.”
She instantly became angry with her sister-in-law and informed her that she’s no longer allowed to stay at the beach house since she can’t be polite to their paying guests.
Her sister-in-law thinks she’s a jerk, since she did promise to allow her to stay there whenever she feels like it.
What advice do you have for her?
