  The room layouts, bed rooms and den suited our needs. We dined out; so we did not really use the kitchen. Bath towels were lacking in quality and some smelled sour.

  Great location. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. Plenty of room. Comfortable beds. Did not know how to get in touch with host.

  We stayed at this VRBO in a great neighborhood, which felt safe and was conveniently close to restaurants, shops, and activities. The location was definitely the highlight, making it easy to get around and enjoy the area.However, the interior left much to be desired. The furniture was dated and mismatched, some pieces appear to be patio furniture used indoors. The kitchen table and the chairs were not sturdy, and I nearly lost my entire breakfast when it wobbled. The linens were also outdated and ill fitting; bedsheets did not properly match the mattress sizes which made for an uncomfortable fit. The towels provided were colorful, beach towels, or a mixed of non-uniform sets, rather than standard bath linens.Another issue was with check-in. The listing date of the property had a digital lock which it did, but instead we found the door already unlocked upon arrival and had to retrieve a physical key from a lock box. This was confusing and did not match the description. Overall, while the location is excellent, the property itself would greatly benefit from updated furnishings, consistent linens, and a clearer, more secure, check in process.

  The house was great for our party of 7. We loved the kids room and all of the space. No one felt as if they were constantly on top of anyone else. I HAVE to mention the master bathroom though. The shower is amazing. Spacious with two overhead showers and a third with a bench style area. The only issue we had was that we couldn’t figure out how to get the oven to work. We love to cook and eat in so we needed up having to eat out more than anticipated. The house was equipped with all of the necessities like dishes and Kureg coffee maker. Full size fridge. Plenty of seating and an Apple TV for streaming services. The neighborhood was convenient for having things delivered if we didn’t want to leave the house. It was a quiet area with lots of people who walk their dogs during the day. We really enjoyed our stay. Will book with Evolve again.

  I rented this particular home approximately 1 year ago in eager anticipation of my daughter’s wedding. I was so pleased with the look and atmosphere of the rental based on the pictures and looked forward to spending time there both inside and outside the home. When pulling up to the home we were most surprised to see the owner there. He was nervous and seemed to be trying to straighten things up as we entered. He quickly shut the garage door which was filled entirely with many objects including several gasoline cans and could barely close. A fire hazard for sure. The first thing that hit us as we entered the house was the smell it was toxic! We asked if he had painted or used turpentine he said no that the house was just cleaned. It was difficult to breath so we tried to open the windows … no screens! We went out to the back deck it was a disaster. Mold everywhere including embedded in the wood railings. Broken furniture and mold laden couch cushions. Grills were disgusting never cleaned filled with grease old food and ash. Stagnant water in all coolers filled with insects. We questioned the owner about the condition. The inside was unlivable the linens and pillows dirty. We contacted Evolve sent photos and let them know the condition of the house. We couldn’t stay and had to locate another home scrambling within hours of the rehearsal dinner. Upsetting is an understatement.
