You get to keep any property that you can exempt, which may depend on state laws. Some states let you choose between the federal exemptions or the state exemptions. Any property worth more than the exemption has to be redeemed (the trustee is paid the difference between the value of the property and the exemption) or given to the trustee. (Technically, the trustee owns everything in a chapter 7 until the 341 meeting or the first meeting of creditors.)

The answer to this really depends on the nature of the property and how it is held (i.e. tenants in common, joint tenancy). You can file for bankruptcy for your personal debts. If the ownership debt is easily severable then it is likely that you would be able to file for bankruptcy and include the property as well.

In a chapter 7, yes, you can keep your vacation if you have no equity in it. This assumes you have not run out and borrowed money against it knowing you were going to file bankruptcy.
