I booked this beautiful spot for my 34th birthday bash (dancing and music inside). Unfortunately the owner of the property is away and his mother is taking care of it. I’m writing this review to warn others of the overzealous mother. The property listing says guests up to 20, sleeps 10. However, the mother spied on us using the security cameras demanding guests be brought down to 8 (this is the number I booked) despite what the ad says. She barged in to the home at 6am to take illegal photos (as clearly stated in Canadian law and the VRBO privacy policy) of all of my guests SLEEPING, without their consent and she felt she was entitled to do so because she was mad that there were more guests than 8. I kindly explained to her nicely that we were willing to pay the extra guests as I did not want to send my guests home drunk and lots of them worked the following day so that they wouldn’t be spending the second night there. She counted 17 guests (within the 20 person limit as said in the listing, guests may host parties and have up to 20, which I disclosed from the time of booking) She took illegal pictures with the sound on, to try and intimidate us further. She wouldn’t leave the property with the illegal photos in hand until I had e-transfered her $500 for the extra guests, ILLEGALLY, as all payments must go through the VRBO website or app. She extorted and robbed me. Once she left she then sent texts and threatening messages through the Alexa to try intimidate us and harassed me with phone calls from noon until 2pm when we left a day early. The Stay and my birthday was ruined by a harassing judging mother who called me disgusting. I will be filing a police report as she breached Canadian privacy laws and for her extortion. This should never be a guests experience. 0/5 stars from me.
