• Three bedrooms is a stretch

  3/5

  Calling this a three bedroom is more than a bit of a stretch. Yes, there are three beds in spaces with doors. But given that the twin daybed is in a space with nothing else in it, it is not much of a bedroom. There is literally nothing else, no closet, dresser, nightstand, reading light, nothing.

  And it should be clear in the description that the only bathroom is only accessed by going through this "bedroom." If you are a single family with kids who are old enough to need their own rooms it could work. But multiple families, not so much.

  And then there were the cleanliness issues. Any cleaner can have a bad day. There is that. I took exception to needing to spend 20 minutes cleaning the patio furniture to make it usable, the chewed gum that was plainly sitting there on the night stand of one of the bedrooms, the floors that were vacuumed but needed mopping, and the "hygienic liner" (presumably from a new, woman's swimsuit someone was putting on for the first time) that was stuck to the bathroom wall. Yup, you read that right.

  Hi Ethan Whitney, 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:

• Great Spot

  5/5

  This is a great spot. It's secluded, so you don't have a lot of other people around. I did have a doe and a couple of fawns looking in the window one morning though! Great views of the bay.

  My GPS lead me right to it, although it was just slightly confused as I drove in the drive. After that, no problem!

  Communication with the owner was quick and easy.

  It's a very clean property and I really enjoyed my stay. Had everything you needed. I wish all the vrbo properties would take lessons from this one.

  If I'm back in the area, this will be my place to stay!

  2/5

  No lights in the driveway. It was pitch black.

  POST on Outside on side of the house near driveway sticking out at least 4” if not more. I ran into it in the dark rain and bruised my upper arm.

  Wobbly toilet.

  Toilet seat/lid on crooked.

  Several top electrical outlets do Not work. They had a floor lamp plugged into one said outlet 🤷‍♀️ I thought the floor lamp did not work.

  Was personally told by manager Laura on a phone call on speaker with my Best friend listening that the large patio is for all of the guests. Then manager texts me asking us Not to use it because of the guests in the large house had a minor child and they didn’t like guests right there outside in the patio. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

  There are 2 areas with entrances that are Not Useable. The patio door in the smaller bedroom is possibly welded shut. The laundry room is so thin that when it’s raining it is louder than the dryer. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Only one usable entrance/exit.

  Was told the last minute just hours prior to us arriving the fireplace doesn’t work. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

  There is mold in the washing machine.

  Mold on several window blinds.

  Musty moldy smell in the house.

  Blanket on back of couch smells horribly of possibly dog.

  Comforter on large bed caused my allergies to act up when I wrapped up around my shoulders in bed.

  Bathroom medicine cabinets smell horribly of mildew and mold when opened to use the mirrors.

  All in all neither my Best friend nor I were pleased.

  Who is Evolve?

  Do better!

• A perfect fit.

  There were 3 of us, which was a perfect fit, and it's a great location.
