• Spacious “Hot Bucket”

  3/5

  When we first arrived we noted that it was not as secluded as the photo postings that were as edited as Kim Kardashian’s Instagram. We had easy entry because of the provided codes. We snuck in as sneaky and low key as Tom and Zendaya’s relationship. The house accommodating eight people is as accurate as Hailey Bieber saying she’s not copying Selina Gomez. The full bunk beds are as stable as Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s relationship. The house was really well equipped.. as Taylor Swift’s closet. It was thoroughly prepped for travelers! The WiFi and entertainment options were stellar as GiGi Hadid’s red carpet looks. The “hot tub” was a bit of a misnomer. It may have been a “hot bucket.” The “hot tub” was as underwhelming as Andrew Tate’s fighting career. Overall, the house was fine for our two to three star hotel family with adult kids. The largest negative was the online booking website; the expected cost was no where close to actual. Air BNB is bad, but Evolve seemed worse with a huge up charge for cleaning after confirmation and NO option to cancel. We felt trapped in the booking as World of Warcraft monthly subscribers. The rental was much better than two hotel rooms for our family of six. In the future, we probably won’t use Evolve as a booking website.

  Manager's Response:

  We’re sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. This homeowner is accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, so this feedback is surprising. They would like to clarify the following:
  -We use professional photographers to ensure our images accurately reflect each property and guests can decide before booking if the decor meets their expectations. And while we try to accommodate all guests' comfort, we're sorry the mattress didn't meet your preferences. Our home comfortably sleeps eight as suggested
  -We wish you had reached out to us during your stay if there were any issues you needed to be addressed. We would have done everything we could to resolve them immediately so that you could enjoy the home. We have yet to receive any complaints regarding the state of the hot tub and we ensure all amenities are working before every guest's arrival
  -Evolve strives to be transparent at every stage of the booking process, so all rates and fees are broken down for travelers before they confirm their reservation. We never want our guests to be surprised by hidden charges
  As is evidenced by the many great reviews we truly go above and beyond for our guests and are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!

  House was easy to find, easy to check in. It was a perfect place for my son, niece and I to stay. Very clean and comfortable. We came down to see manatees and did. We love the town as well.

• We had the best time!

  5/5

  The property was exactly as described. We had everything we needed. It was close to all the activities we were participating in and close to some awesome restaurants. Check in was easy, communication with the property owners was top notch. We loved it and would most definitely stay there again.

• Great Location

  4/5

  The house was very clean and distance to area attractions took very little travel. I would highly recommend this location to anyone visiting the area.
