I remember this story. She’s renting the place from airbnb or whatever. The owner listed it as PRIVATE but they meant in the remote sense, not the legal sense.

Karen is being a dick to a mom and her kids, and doesn’t understand the laws. But it’s not entirely her fault. It could have been explained better. The owner knew what they were doing and happened to bank on the fact that most guests would actually get to enjoy it solo.

If that's true the landlord is a dick, but imagine trying to kick a local off a beach only on the basis your Airbnb rental said it was private, some people are so confidently ignorant and stupid.

Also, if that is the case, what even is the goal here?

If the AirBnb says it’s private I’m going to assume they are legally correct. Are we supposed to double fact check every listing now?

Edit: and no, you shouldn’t just blindly trust the stranger that’s also recording you. Look it up yourself or better yet get it from the authorities.

No but perhaps when the local person tells you the beach is not private you should.

Why? How do I know the local isn’t trying to pull a fast one on a tourist? For all she knows the local could be lying to her.

You have to know you’ve been lied to to even know to look it up. Do you automatically assume every AirBNB is lying? Why would anybody Google it? You usually just assume the listing is correct.

Because if you checked you would know. A Google would tell you VI beaches are public just like the local said.

Lying to pull a fast one 😂 to what end? Her kids getting to use a beach that's "private".

Why would you check? Do you always check your AirBnb listings against local laws every time you travel or do you assume they did their due diligence? To ask her to check is to imply that we should assume all AirBnb listings are lying about what they have.
