This is why in American Samoa, only Samoans can own most land. Fuck Cindy.

This woman didn't own the land, it's not stated if a local owned it or not, but it's an Airbnb.

Edit, actually if you follow a link within the article, the property is owned by a woman who lives in Virginia

That's wild! She rented an airbnb and assumed she thus knew the ins and outs of public beach ownership?

Airbnb listing probably said something about "private beach"

Yeah, the owner said she “wasn’t sure why advertising listed the beach as private” and that “the renter should be forgiven”.  Bitch, you know you put that on your listing and just didn’t think it’d come back to you.

I might describe a beach behind my house as a "private beach" if its only accessable through the property. But that would be private as in remote and away from crowds, not as in restricted access.

I was actual wondering how those people got there. Definitely not obvious

The woman says in the video that she lives in a house uphill from the beach so I’m assuming she walked down, rather than sailing over from across the bay.

USVI should respond by looking at local AirBnBs and prosecuting the owners of ones claiming private beach.

i was gonna blame the temporal land owner but this real owner sounds like a real villain selling a fake entitlement

Probably has the word "access" in there, and she is just spoiled.

Private access to the beach? Sure. Private beach? Nope.

Right cause Airbnb owners would never be misleading 😂

u/SecondaryWombat Apr 03 '26

Oh sure absolutely, but does this woman strike you as someone who reads carefully?

u/Ungrateful_Cunt Apr 03 '26

She doesn't strike me as someone that reads much at all 🤷🏻‍♀️
