No; my metaphor is quite precise. You're renting the beach house because it helps you enjoy the good weather while sitting on the sand. However, the beach house owner isn't responsible for providing the good weather: only the house itself. The beach house owner isn't in control of the weather, and you knew that at the time you rented.

Not to further beat the horse that is thoroughly bloodied and unrecognizable, but I’d say this is more like having the water and power shut off and the furniture repossessed on the first day of a week-long stay.
Maybe legally, ethically, morally, the renters are SOL, but for me personally, I’m not sure my sympathies would lie with the landlord in that situation.
