Clean House, Pretty Dock… But the Rest Was a Comedy of ErrorsThe house itself was very clean and beautiful, and the dock was amazing — peaceful, scenic, everything you’d hope for. Unfortunately, the experience with Evolve and the property manager was far less relaxing.First, we were nearly overcharged a 30 “extra” transaction fee until I pointed out it should’ve been 20. Then came the check-in scavenger hunt — the instructions sent us to an offsite location that didn’t exist. After calling, I learned there was a different email with updated instructions.When we finally got in, the house was a brisk 53 degrees. The fireplaces (inside, sunroom, and outdoor fire pit) didn’t work, and despite two emails and a voicemail, we didn't get an answer until the 3rd day. When the manager finally called back, she sounded annoyed and couldn’t offer solutions — apparently, the fire pit was unplugged because a previous guest left it on.Other oddities: no welcome kit (despite being mentioned), confusing instructions (like a sign telling us to “turn off the breakers before leaving” — wait, what?), and no on-site guide for how things actually worked.All in all, the property itself was nice — clean, peaceful, and well-situated — but the management experience made it feel like we were on an escape room challenge we didn’t sign up for.Would I rent again? Sadly, no. With better communication, clear instructions, and just a little more hospitality, this could’ve been a five-star stay.
