1/5 Terrible

Significantly misrepresented... you are sharing your vacation with the owner!!
Overall, this is a nice high bank property (set back from the water), great dock with a boat slip and comfortable 2 bedroom suite that is pet friendly. There are multiple dwellings on the property (pictures are misleading). What the ad and the owner don’t tell you is that you are sharing the house and vacation week with the owner, her grandchildren ( ages 3-6) , her adult son, his male friend and another 4 yr old who happened to be visiting. The owner lives in the ground level suite of the house. The rental is upstairs. There is a steep walkway and driveway (owner and family drive a quad up and down multiple times per day) to the beach and dock. We were extremely disappointed in this VRBO experience and perhaps it was bad timing as our week lined up with the owner having 6 additional guests, including 3 very loud young grandchildren, which does not meet the PHO order for Covid 19 rental restriction. The owner did not seem to understand that we are in the middle of a pandemic and should not be exposing her guests to others. We had no idea from the ad that this was going to be a shared holiday, shared dock,etc. We had next to no privacy. The owner and her extended family would make their way down to the dock most days by 11am and leave between 5-7pm. It was very uncomfortable and confusing, especially for my teenage children. We spent a lot of time on our boat!! We have been coming to Sproat Lake for 12 years and have never had a bad experience. We definitely won’t be back to this property and would warn you to read the fine print! Other minor annoyances included not having a bbq on the deck off of the kitchen. It is down the stairs at the next building.
