• Son's Wedding

  4/5

  The purpose of our trip was for my son's wedding at Merrell Estates and Gardens. This house was a perfect location to the venue and accommodated our family/friends perfectly. The host was very gracious and perfect to work with. The only issue, which I knew ahead of time was only having space for two vehicles. With the groom and his groomsmen getting ready and hanging out at our house, this took some planning to get them all there and to the venue!!!! My son shuttling there and a limo was to the venue was our solution! :) After the wedding, my son left his cologne at the house once we had checked out and the host and cleaning lady let him meet the next day to get it!! Also, great location to some fantastic restaurants and halfway between Emerald Isle and Atlantic Beach which we travelled both ways often.

• Property is not as advertised- no beach access

  1/5

  Incredibly disappointed! We arrived to find the property is directly on the street, surrounding structures in poor condition and included a single wide trailer, there were no sidewalks and NO access to the beach (unless you get in your car, drive to the beach and try to find public parking). Property is Pine Knoll Shores.I’m still waiting to hear back from Evolve management and have given up communication efforts with the property manager. When we arrived there were at least 15 large black flies in the kitchen/porch entryway. The decor in the rental was very nice. We immediately notified the property manager and the 3rd party management that we would not be staying as the property wasn’t as advertised and we planned a 4 night stay with our adult children from various states at the beach, this was such a disappointment!! Communication (arguing/voices raised) with the property manager (Brandon) was unprofessional and unhelpful. We left within 30 mins and moved to another location.

  Manager's Response:

  Owners response: Kelly, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  "Kelly, we’re sorry your stay fell short of expectations.
  - The property is located on an Island so does not have sidewalks like a typical house. The trailer was there before we owned the property.
  - The listing doesn't state direct access to the beach or private access. It is as advertised.
  - We have a pest control company out regularly and no flies were found inside the unit.
  - Our Property Manager is professional and has never received other complaints from guests.
  We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays."

• Great location and house!

  5/5

  Rented for the weekend. Walkable to local restaurants and shops. Minor issues with internet because of a storm, but manager came out within 20 min to get it fixed. Definitely recommend!

• Relaxing getaway

  5/5

  We had a wonderful time at "The Cozy Crab Shack". The place was clean and conveniently located near anything we needed. The beach was very close by and the accommodations were comfortable. We would definitely stay there again!
