This is a stellar location. Most of my stay was sitting outside watching ships and wildlife on the St. Lawrence River. Apt 3 is a bit dark and the location of the bathroom in the the main bedroom is a awkward (as noted by other reviewers). I had a problem with the toilet which was quickly resolved by the owner. The property managers do an excellent job with the yard.

Picturesque exterior with inferior interior
Overall, our experience at the shared house fell short of VRBO standards. While each unit offered private space inside, our particular unit lacked a front door (replaced with glass sliding doors), had no BBQ, firepit appeared on the last day, and the front lawn and dock were monopolized by other renters. Unfortunately, the behavior of neighboring renters significantly impacted our stay with late-night noise disturbances and confrontations with neighbors.
Although the outside property was aesthetically pleasing, with a patio table (albeit with mostly broken chairs), the inside of the unit was noticeably outdated and lacking in amenities.
Basic dishware was provided, but only one wine glass was available. We purchased and left a new box of glasses in hopes of improving future guests' experiences. Furthermore, the absence of essentials such as salt, pepper, cooking oil, and toiletries, combined with uncomfortable beds and a lack of additional bedding, left much to be desired.
Lance was responsive; however, we did have to reach out well past check-in to obtain check-in information.
Ultimately, while the location was convenient for our needs, the overall value did not justify the cost. The quality of our stay was heavily reliant on the behavior of neighboring renters, making it a risky choice for future stays. If you can overlook the basic interior and potential disturbances from other guests, the outdoor space does offer some charm, despite unavoidable goose poop.

Well located
Apartment well located in Gananoque on the riverside of the St-Laurence River with a private beach.
Lance is a very attentive host.
The only negative point is that the bathroom is in one of the rooms.
Really not pratical for the occupants of the second room

Nice spot only
The outdoor and the view are perfect! It is a house with 3 appartements in it. Ours was not clean enough and lot of things were missing. Only one glass for a family of 4, the cafetiere were dirty and broken, no wine opener, no cisor, wifi problems, had to ask 3 times for paper toilet. It is old with old tapis….The oven was dirty so smoke went everywhere. Etc.
But the view is very beautiful and you have plenty of space outside, chairs, table, place for a fire. A beautiful private beach, a new dock for the boat. Noting negative to say about the outdoor.

Low end to qualify for VRBO
Not up to VRBO standards. Had to contact owner the morning of arrival for entry code. Aggresive dog challenged us on arrival. Curtains very thin and missing hooks. Could not close properly to give privacy. Connecting pocket doors between bedrooms had stained glass windows. Bathroom tap only had a trickle flow of water pressure. Spider webs on baseboard heating. Flimsy door lock. Curtain across patio door was not wide enough.

Location, location, location! Au cœur des Mille Îles, avec plage et quai pour notre bateau. Site parfait pour nous et notre chien. Par contre, le logement #3 n'est vraiment pas chic! NB La seule sdb est dans l'une des 2 chambres. Donc, pas idéal si vous louez à deux couples. Le propriétaire communique bien.
