This home was very spacious and comfortable. Our family had a great time staying here. It wasn’t too far from the beach but we also had the pool to enjoy. The check in process was not difficult at all and we had no issues our entire stay. We highly recommend staying here!

The outside area was very spacious and is were we spent most of our time. The hot tube was a surprise and a hit with the family. The inside was nice, but there was dog hair on the couch and we have allergies. But after we wiped it down we were ok. We had a great time.

Let me first say that Nada with the Evolve team is amazing! However, from the get-go my communication with the local host, Christina left a lot to be desired. I had to change dates. She instructed me to go in and change it myself, luckily I reached out to Nada who advised me not to do that; Nada handled the issue. On Saturday evening my elderly in laws locked us out of the house and the keys in the key box did not work. We reached out to Christina, who was not a happy camper; her tone, her attitude. She said there would be no way she could find a locksmith at 10 o’clock at night and said she was reaching out to the owner and hung up. No goodbye, no I’ll call you back, no I’m sorry the wrong keys are in the key box. Nothing. Just hung up. She sent me a text about 30 minutes later saying per owner we could all sleep downstairs until she was able to get a locksmith. Mind you, we were there for graduation on Saturday and were in the middle of baking desserts and making decorations for the party on Saturday. I explained all that to her in a text and explained that our dog was still in the main house. I never heard back from her until the following morning at 8:30. I hope the owner sees this and realizes they need a new on-site person. Sidenote, the first locksmith we called was available but was going to charge 250. I didn’t feel I should have to pay for their mistake; the keys in the key box should have worked! I’ll never rent another house that Christina is in charge of
