  Too many issues with the house. Listing is not accurate, does not say that the garage is not accessible, which makes storing bikes, beach chairs etc difficult. The so called ‘private boat dock’ is unusable due to large sail boat docked there. Lanai is severely damaged and we not told until after the refund period and a week before our stay. Pool heater does not work and we were charged a daily fee for the heater. The sprinkler system has problems and spews smelly water all over the backyard for hours at a time. Lots of small items missing, no carrot peeler, no tea kettle, no broom. Electrical problems with outside lights and outlets. Went on vacation to relax, not be a handy man. Communication was horrible, contacted VRBO, all I got was an email saying a case had been opened and closed. Evolve could only apologize and say the ‘team’ was working on it, but then would not get back to us. Got the owners phone number, spoke with them the first time I called, then they would not respond after that. Can not recommend this property in its current state and can not recommend Evolve. Even had to call about the check in process because they never sent the email with instructions.

• Nice house, but don’t expect to fish off the dock

  3/5

  The house was nice, uniquely designed. The neighborhood was quiet. We especially liked the screened-in pool area where we enjoyed morning coffee. The large living room, with a big screen TV, had lots of Premium On Demand channels, which was a bonus. Because we are from snow country, we were looking for a house on a canal where we could fish from a private dock and swim in a heated pool. We brought our fishing gear and swimwear, accordingly. Unfortunately, neither of those things happened. We contacted the property manager when we arrived to ask about the pool being 64 degrees. She came right over and turned on the pool heater to heat up the pool. However, the next day when the pool was around 72 degrees, she put the pool heater on a timer, which prevented the pool from ever getting to a swimmable temperature because of the cold weather. Although the listing says it has a private dock and does show you a picture of the corner of the dock, in reality the entire dock is blocked by a sailboat that is docked there. Our hopes of fishing were never realized. Again, the house is nice, just don't expect to do any canal fishing from the dock and beware that the pool heater is on a timer that might prevent it from coming up to swimmable temperatures in the winter months.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Diane, We know how frustrating it is when a vacation rental isn't what you expected, so we reached out to the homeowner with your feedback. They'd like to share the following:
  - The pool heat was set to 85 degrees for your stay, but since the weather was in the 50s-60s, the pool could not get as hot as you would have preferred
  - There is not a timer set on the pool heater
  - While there is a boat at the dock, guests can still use the dock or the 40ft of canal access to fish
  We are glad that you enjoyed the rest of the home and its great amenities, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your stay! Best, the Evolve Team

• Nice home
