House was as advertised House was as advertised. It was missing a tv remote but the local contact was able to help us immediately. There are no currents on the ocean side of the house which is great for the view but in the afternoon it gets very hot in the living room kitchen area. We were there the end of March, I’d hate to see how warm it gets when the sun is hotter.

Communication Communication beforehand made our visit go off smoothly. I can’t fault Evolve for anything. The property was clean and well stocked. Just all around enjoyable. I gave a question regarding our hosts’ evaluation of my wife and I as guests. We earned 5 points for everything but “house rules.” Was that an omission or were we that poor in our performance? We’ve stayed a number of VRBO properties and earned 5 star ratings.

Family Vacation Really had a great trip. The cabin was amazing. Communication with the host was excellent and simple. The location was great and a great yard for kids, enough room for everyone. Updates from booking to arrival was excellent.

They are incompetent and they couldn’t care less I don’t know whether to be flattered or flabbergasted. Evolve set my rental at $10,820/night!!! (Should be maybe 125/night). When I called customer service, they said it was “just a placeholder” but no one removed the placeholder. And oh yes, they have no idea how long it will take to fix the error. And then the solution was to block my unit off as owner-booked, or to “resign the listing.” Unbelievable!!! Apparently, you either have to take their atrocious incompetence, or leave it. BEWARE!!!! Follow up: They have fixed the issue, although they have still not had a manager give us a call as we requested.

Evolve does not permit owners to adjust… Evolve does not permit owners to adjust rates for specific dates. Other STR companies, such as Airbandb allow this. There is a significant national event occurring in our market that will bring in huge crowds. I am prevented from capitalizing on this potential revenue.
