Could have been better

Difficult to get answers from Evolve. My questions went unanswered for days. It took awhile to go from VRBO to Evolve then a local contact. Lockbox needs to be easier to use. The place needs a deep cleaning, Even the table was sticky as was areas along sides if dishwasher and baseboards. Screening the hot tub is a must. It is viewed by the neighborhood.

Heavenly

Staying in this home will give you a relaxing, peaceful and unbelievable trip to get away from everyday life stresses. You can’t go wrong in choosing this property. The view and close proximity to the surf sounds are the best. If you have never been to this area i highly recommend it. There is so much to see and do if you want to. I personally like to stay put and enjoy every minute right there on the premises soaking up the solitude and going down to the private beach where you will practically have all to yourself. The home is nicely decorated with a beachy vibe. The beds are very comfortable. There is plenty of comfortable seating which I find important since as I said, I enjoy staying put. Cooking meals there is a plus although there are lots of dining out options. The kitchen is pretty well stocked with all the essentials but if you need something the store close by in Manchester has everything you need. If tv is important to you the only option at this property is Netflix streaming. No regular tv channels are available. There is a dvd player. It is fun to keep and eye out for whale sightings (bring binoculars) along with deer, quail, bunnies, fox in the yard.! You really can’t go wrong with this rental. It truly is heavenly.

Spectacular Views!!!

Renting this property was easy and the views made this home. Property manager was helpful and responsive. The home was furnished well however the kitchen was poorly equipped. It felt like most kitchen items were purchased at a garage sale and not furnished or organized like a home you would live in. For example the Home is for five people and you only have four knifes. No cookie sheets, pots were not stored with lids and you were looking from cupboard to cupboard for a lid to match your pot. If you don’t cook this is the house for you. The third bedroom is a closet in the master bedroom with an uncomfortable bed, the couch in the living room was a better spot and killer ocean views. The area around the hot tub was being redone with pavers, it was mid process and using at night would be unsafe so we chose not to use the hot tub, which was one of the reasons we selected this home, a little disappointing. The BBQ was missing a handle and tied with a rope to the deck railing, the light for the deck was around the corner, I was unable to untie in the dark and cooking on the dark side of the deck was difficult. This home was very clean and you can’t get better views of the ocean, we were able to see whales migrating South and beach access is a short walk and the neighbors are friendly. I would be sure and ask which route to take to Irish Beach, many routes and some are long and super curved. We all took Google maps suggestion which was a mistake.

Mixed emotions

So much potential but falls short. This place was so underwhelming inside-I felt I was at a motel. There are no real loving touches to the home. The view can’t be beat, yes. It was insane. And the access to the beach is awesome. But I’m shocked that other reviews didn’t warn anyone about the fact that this place is like a 2 1/2 star motel. FYI -the couches are different from the photos, but comfortable. They’re the only piece of newer furniture in the entire home. Cons: The master bedroom is small, and the furniture looks like it came directly from a garage sale. Uncomfortable mattress and the master bedroom heater didn’t work and the icy ocean breeze was seeping through cracks in there. The master bathroom is just as cold, has a strange plastic covering the window that looks a bit tacky, and there is some mold growing in the shower, the toilet seat is peeling — seemed unsanitary to me, the bathtub had some weird wood on it and is missing some tiles. The extra bedroom with a twin bed is small and a bit lame/depressing. My teen son was so upset he had to sleep in there. Not to mention the WiFi was awful and it was hard to stream anything. The kitchen is dingy too, subpar and isn’t something appealing to want to cook in, dated. Cheap fridge. There was no dishwashing liquid. There is a plastic restaurant type bench on the patio to eat at. So again, the only solid pro to this place is that it’s got an incredible view and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. If you are someone who expects a nicer home with decor/ambiance, newer and cleaner items, you would not be happy here. If you’re willing to pay the high price for the incredible view to have a private motel-like home, you’ll be happy. I wouldn’t come back here and have done much better in the area in the past for comparable cost.

Much needed family get away

We enjoyed our stay! The view was beautiful. The private access beach was great for a picnic. We came with our 19&17 year old thinking this property had 3 bedrooms as listed, but I think it’s important for people to know that one of the “bedrooms” is converted from the master bedroom closet. Neither kid wanted to stay in there so one ended up sleeping on the couch. But I’m sure if you have little ones it doesn’t make as much of a difference, but Its different when your adult children are with you and they don’t want to be staying essentially in the same room. The listing says the property “boasts 3 bedrooms” which we felt was not quite accurate. It was gorgeous and clean. Missing some homey touches like blow dryers, TP in the bathrooms, oil in the kitchen for cooking, lounge patio chaos and maybe some pavers to walk down to the hot tub. Just a few things to take it to the next level of a comfortable vacation home. Overall it was a great place to stay. We’d go back again, but probably not with the kids. Thanks for having us!

Peaceful Retreat

Rahus Ocean Rufuge was a dream come true - an experience I've had on my bucket list for years (that being staying in a nice house with a stunning ocean view). The house itself is great - it is not super fancy, but it is very comfortable, clean, and well-cared for. The view, of course, is to die for. The entire time we were there we didn't do much more than quietly take in the ocean view, rest, and kind of tune out from the rest of our worries. To our amazement, there were whales (well, at least their spouts!) visible all day long. The outdoor jacuzzzi was also an amazing experience - we would go in in the morning and again just after the sunset to revel in the fading orange glow on the horizon. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with supplies and snacks. We had an amazing time. Note that the nest grocery to shop in is the Ace Hardware/supermarket in Manchester - don't bother with the one in Point Arena!
