In 2016, we worked with your agents in search of a home or a lot with the intention of moving to Bear Lake West full time.  We did purchase a lot, built a home and have been full time residents for just over a year.  
A major reason for our move was the expectation of peace and quiet in the area.  We had a 2-year period of life-threatening family health issues which I will not detail though hopefully, you can imagine our need for respite.
Our expectations were not really met as a home down the street was sold to someone who proceeded to break the rules of Bear Lake West and rent the home short term.  Frequently, a parade of vehicles (3-5) would drive in and out of the location multiple times each day for the period of their rental, resulting in clouds of dust each time.  Many of the visitors could be heard at all times of night and often caused other disturbances.  
One night at midnight, a pickup truck and boat pulled into our drive way to turn around and back down the street to the home.  They backed over the post that was placed to protect our culvert, bending the post and cracking the culvert.  The next day, I walked down and spoke to the person driving the truck – he didn’t even know what he hit or that he did any damage.  I pointed out the orange stripe all the way down the side of his truck and the dent in his back bumper done by the post.  He said they would come and talk with us though all he did was unbend the post and did not check with us to see if there was a need for any other repairs.
That morning, I also spoke to the owner who claimed he didn’t know that short-term rentals were prohibited, and they mostly let friends and family use the home.  However, the home appeared on both VRBO.com and Airbnb.com, complete with multiple reviews from renters.
The reason for my letter is to implore your staff to make it very clear to those who purchase property in Bear Lake West that short-term rentals are not allowed as explicitly defined in the CC&Rs.  You may have or may not have done so with the owner of the rented home.  There is a reason that these rules are in place and our residents choose this subdivision for that reason.  
While it isn’t your job to insure considerate neighbors, I would think that it is your responsibility to point out such a significant difference as the Bear Lake West subdivision offers.
Thank you,
