• Cute

  4/5

  House was very cute. Did have dead cockroaches in the house, and comforter had a burn hole in it. Some lights were burnt out. Neighborhood was nice. Overall it was a nice place.

  Hi Chantelle, we want our guests to arrive at a vacation home that is 100% ready for their stay, so we take the cleanliness of our property seriously. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We take claims like this seriously and would like to clarify the items mentioned in your review. We immediately had a professional team investigate the property for pests.
  - The technicians did not find any evidence of pests, however, we apologize for the issues you experienced during your stay.

  Overall nice home in a quiet neighborhood. But the beds are the worst we have experienced. Like sleeping on the floor. We actually considered switching to the couch. And that ruined the stay.

  From the owner: "Hi Tim, Thank you so much for your feedback! We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay overall but we're so sorry that you were uncomfortable at bedtime. While the beds are still new, we know that mattress preference is unique to each guest. And although we haven't received complaints about this before, we do agree that there was room for improvement, so we've ordered new pillowtop mattresses for all of the beds. Thanks again for your insight, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!"

• Cheap house, expensive rental agency

  1/5

  I booked this house for my husband to stay for three nights. The Evolve rental agency charged us more for the cleaning, forced insurance and miscellaneous fees. To top it off there was laundry in the dryer when he arrived. The house wasn’t cleaned and the list of requirements to clean before you leave was astronomical. There’s 15 things to do plus expectations to close up the house, they also send you a reminder text to clean up before you leave (dishes, start laundry,wipe counters etc.) this is NOT a vacation resting place and there are hundreds of other houses in the area to choose from that doesn’t require half of the laundry list that they do. They let you know to if you don’t do all 15 items on the checklist that you will be charged extra fee upon leaving and it’s up to their discretion as to whether they will charge you extra or not depending on your overall ability to clean to their requirements. We had a mishap with our dates and the evolve agency was absolutely horrendous to work with. Most of them barely spoke English and if they did it was very broken English. I had to call the Verbo company themselves to file a complaint. Also when you book this particular house through that agency Evolve they charge you for damages that aren’t done to the house and when you leave the house and there’s no damages you don’t get the money back. Verbo won’t let me list specific prices but your jaw will drop when it hits your credit card . They don’t put that in the paperwork when you’re signing up for this home so beware! I definitely would not recommend this house to anybody ever. They will rob you blind and demand you clean up after charging you to clean the house after your stay. My husband isn’t a messy person by any means but they ask him to strip bed, scrape the grill, wash,dry and put away all dishes etc. it was so excessive. We’ve stayed in many Verbo homes and never had to do any of those things. Watch out for the evolve agency homes because the evolve company manages the homes for the homeowner and comes with a list of demands as well as a hefty price tag for them to manage the home for the homeowner. It cost us more to book this house through the evolve agency with their laundry list of basic charges than it did for us to stay in this house for three days. Definitely would NOT recommend this house to anybody ever unless it went under personal management of the homeowner.Dirty, overpriced and so basic.

  Hi Karalee, thank you for your review, and we'd like to share the following:
  -We've shared your feedback with the homeowner who has passed it along to their cleaning team.
  -The owner would like to share the house is new, and they don't provide a gas grill.
  -All policies and fees are broken down before reservations are booked. Any service fees go to Vrbo, not Evolve or the homeowner.
  -Evolve helps host properties, but there is always a local Guest Contact to reach for any questions or concerns.
  -The checkout procedures are very common for vacation rentals.
  We are sorry for any inconvenience and appreciate your feedback.

• Home in Port Charlotte

  4/5

  The house was clean comfortable and well appointed. Neighborhood was quiet. Screen porch was a nice place to unwind at the end of the day.The internet was off line most of our stay. Response from host was slow. Welcome book has some incorrect information and should be updated. Outlets in both bathrooms do not work.If these issues are corrected I would consider staying again.
