• Wonderful House

  5/5

  We spent 12 nights in this lovely home and really enjoyed it. The house was convenient to Dunedin, Tarpon Springs, Honeymoon Island, Clearwater Beach, Tampa, parks, the Pinellas County trail, restaurants, grocery stores, cinemas, shopping centers, and so on. The house is nicely furnished with good quality furniture and is nicely decorated. It was very clean. It has a nice layout with a large open area that includes the kitchen, two dining areas, and a large living room/family room with a large screen TV. There's a sliding glass door from this large open room that opens into a large covered porch from which the pool and lanai are accessed. The neighborhood is quiet and great for taking long walks. It's a great house for hosting/entertaining family and friends. We will definitely be back!!!

  The house was roomy. There appeared to recent renovations but not the best quality. It was clean when we checked in. The check out instructions required us to do a lot of the pre clean work despite being charged a considerable cleaning fee. Communication with the owner?/contact person was concerning. We had an issue with access to the property (we were unfamiliar with the lock box) we arrived at 9:45pm. I texted the # given to us for contact and he did not answer till the next day. Luckily we were able to figure it out and didn't have to make alternate plans for the night. The location of the property was very good if you are looking for an area convenient to Dunedin

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Cheryl, this is Evolve, and we are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - Thank you for choosing to stay in my home and leaving a review, as guest feedback is vitally important to me and the success of my vacation rental business
  - I'm happy that you enjoyed the location of my home as much as I do
  - As is standard for vacation rentals, guests are asked to complete a few small tasks, like removing their own trash, as part of checkout. The cleaning fee goes to a professional service that sanitizes and prepares the home for each new guest
  - I was asleep when you called, but rest assured that I responded to you as soon as possible and responded to all of your questions and concerns
  - I arranged for my handyman to come to the house to address some of your concerns, but you declined my offer
  I truly go above and beyond for my guests, and I am confident that future guests will have excellent stays!

• Beautiful home comfortable smaller then it appears on line but spacious, all the amenities, great!

• Family fun

  4/5

  The house was clean and was a not as nice as pictures but still good. We loved the pool and it was a great location to lots of beaches. We had an issue that was disappointing but the owner was great. He dealt with it quickly and was accomodating. We had two families and my mom. We all slept comfortably and enjoyed our family getaway.

• Palm Harbor stay

  4/5

  Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this property. It was perfect for our family needs (6 adults, 5 kids). The pool was the hot spot for sure. Kids loved it! Salt water pool and kept the heat very nicely. The homeowner also provided beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers for the beach trips which was very nice and convenient. There were a few things that went wrong over our stay though. After day one, the fridge wouldn't hold cold temps. We had to use the freezer and coolers to keep everything as cold as we could. Had to consistently go get ice for drinks and food in coolers. The property manager was able to get a new fridge but wasn't delivered until Monday (day 4 out of 5 of our trip). Really wasn't a huge deal but as we were able to keep things cold through the freezer and coolers. After day two though, the AC went out. That was a bit brutal during the day and later evening. The property manager was able to get someone out to check it on a Sunday but it wasn't able to get fixed till the next day (our last day there). Both weekend days had no AC and was very uncomfortable. I will say though, the property manager was so responsive and gave his sencere apologies for the things that went wrong. He even compensated us back a portion of our trip costs for the inconveniences. Had the fridge and AC not had issues, the trip would have been 5 stars. I would rent this property again and work with this property manager again, just hopeful that there wouldnt be any appliance failures. Overall though, our family really enjoyed the stay here.
