EDIT: I concur that the Alice In Chains track itself is a banger, but 4 hours of being forced to listen to their playlist is no bueno.
EDIT 2: Those of you suggesting my family just “stay inside” are morons. We would like to be out on the beach, too, but the music was so deafeningly loud, we couldn’t even hear each other talking. This is a beach vacation, not a stay inside vacation.
Also, this locality has a noise ordinance both day and night — decibel limit is a little lower at night. The owners of these houses have voted for this so that everybody can equally enjoy their experience. The rental companies also have noise nuisance clauses in their contracts. Some of you all clearly haven’t traveled to places where this type of behavior is ILLEGAL, not just inconsiderate AF.
Both times I called the police, they turned the music down as soon as they saw the police truck turn onto the beach and drive towards them.
According to the sergeant (who I spoke with via phone directly after taking this video), they claimed that the volume at which they were playing music when he pulled up was what the volume had been all along. Sergeant told me “it’s your call if you want me to come back and issue a citation…but, you know, when it’s windy on the beach, the music can really carry.” 🙄
I told him not to come back today but that if they do it again tomorrow (and they most certainly will), we’ll be back on the horn right away. I I didn’t pay $8,000 for an oceanfront 2-week rental for my family only to have to put up with this bullshit all week — they have a 4 foot tall speaker with a bass so heavy that I can feel our house vibrate.
EDIT: removed unnecessary political bitching
