I prolly should have, Meh.  Instead I sent a replacement water heater, installer, DVD player, new DVD player, installer again...until guest stopped reporting trouble. 

She never got hot water back.  I refunded $300 back, before she told me hot water gone 5 of her 7 day trip. 

Maddening, there's not enough follow up.

I'll second that motion!

Potential marketing idea: there are a LOT of idealistic young people (with cash) looking for "off grid, primitive lifestyle" development projects. Personally, I'd never own anything near the ocean again but it IS a pleasant life for awhile.

Does the happiness of being able to offer this experience to others...
outweigh the burden of trying to manage the upkeep of the physical building and services for those guests?

Just curious.
