Wonderful Stay – Clean, Comfortable, and Well-Stocked

We had a fantastic stay at this property! Mark was a great communicator. The home was spotless, the beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It was the perfect place to relax with our group. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Great place for a family

It was a great house. Comfy beds, plenty of room for kids. Super clean and cute. I wouldn’t say it’s a walk to the beach though. There is no good walking access. We still needed to drive. Would still recommend and would stay here again.

Wonderful!

The property was just as pictured. Everything was very clean. The beds were comfortable. Our host added some wonderful touches, such as soap, plenty of towels, coffee, paper towels. We felt very welcome and at home during our stay. We look forward to returning!

Nice place and nice host

This was a very comfortable place to stay, and our host Mark was more than helpful. One of our group was flying in early and he offered early check-in (since there were no other guests the night before), which helped us a great deal. We were missing a necessary item and he brought it to us right away - no hassles at all. The place was very clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with coffee and tea and sugar and other necessities. We were very happy with our choice and highly recommend it.

Great house just moments from downtown St Augestine beach and countless sandy beaches.

The property was clean and in order, it fit our whole party well and was cozy. The kitchen was stocked with all cooking utensils needed which was very impressive. The stay was well worth the money!

Perfect for a family of 8

This property was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was a nice size with everything we needed to prepare a few meals, and there was plenty of seating for everyone. We especially liked having 4 twin beds in one of the rooms since we have 6 kids, and no one likes to share a bed if they don't have to. There was plenty of room to set up a pack'n'play in one of the bedrooms as well, which was nice. We weren't crazy about how close the house was to the main road, but we felt safe. The house was reasonably quiet, and the location was close to everything we wanted to see in St. Augustine.

Super place right near beach with an awesome host!

My family and I were thrilled with this place! Mark went above and beyond to ensure we had a great Thanksgiving time together. Location is quiet, safe, near the beach and a quick drive to the old city. The house is super clean, cute, comfortable and well-furnished. Beds were comfortable, water pressure was great, AC worked great. The little backyard area is fenced in and had many chairs to chill with our little dog (poop bags even provided)! The garage is clean and many amenities (beach chairs and toys, cooler, 2 nice bikes) are available for use. The beach is only a short distance away, and is gorgeous and HUGE. We loved walking there, but biking there is even easier. We loved the little Cuban restaurant/bakery down the road, and were happy there was a Dollar General there and a Winn Dixie not far away also. Getting downtown was a cinch, and we went there a couple times. Mark was so kind—he made sure we had ample dishes, baking dishes, cookie sheets, pots, pans, etc. to do all the cooking we did! The living room area has a nice new giant couch so everyone can be there while some are in the adjacent kitchen cooking. Mark set up another table adjacent to the first so we could all sit together for meals. He even provided an autumn-themed tablecloth for us! In short, we thought this was a great house for our needs, for a good value, with an awesome host. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would happily stay here again in the future.

Very Clean!

The property was exactly as advertised. Our contact reached out to us first, but we had no issues at all. The kitchen is fully stocked with any kind of pot/pan/baking dish you'd need. My mom said it was the cleanest place she'd ever stayed (we travel a lot)! The location is convenient to everything. We will definitely come back when it's warmer to take advantage of the beach equipment.

Perfect and cozy beachy get a away

The property was perfect for our stay. We had 4 adults and 2 teens, we had lots of room for everyone. The water pressure in the showers was amazing. Great little local places to eat within walking or biking distance. Very Clean and cozy. I would suggest you bring your own pilliows foe sleep and extra blankets if its cold outside. There were no extras.

Perfect for 2 couples

2 king bedrooms. Perfect for my wife and I to spend time with her sister and brother in-law. Tile floors everywhere so both couples brought Chihuahuas. The pet fee was very reasonable. The house was spotlessly clean with lots of little extras, like dog poop bags in the backyard and charcoal and lighter fluid. TVs with satellite service in every bedroom and the family room. Communication with the owner was mostly through text but he always responded within a minute or 2.

Super close to beach

This was our 8th evolve stay and it was pretty great. We brought our 2 pups and were able to bring them to the most dog friendly beaches we have ever been too only 5 minutes away. The building was obviously converted from a business setting to residential but it works for what it is. Bed was absolutely amazing and neighborhood was quiet. We didn't have any interaction with the host and that was fine considering we have used Evolve for the last 3 years. Some things that might help this achieve 5 star status... the fridge freezes things even on the lowest setting. The house is missing basic things that make a trip more helpful like hangers, dish soap, tissues etc... the shower curtains don't slide well and could use a bar replacement. The patio could use some love as the chairs were covered in spider webs. The TV keeps doing this thing where it DVRs TV and the channels continually change and it goes into standby mode. All the remote batteries were also either dead or low battery. We brought a travel roku so didn't need to address with contacts and ended up buying dish soap and other basics. I think this rental must be fairly new so it might just need some feedback here and there to work out the kinks to make it 5 star. Overall, if you have dogs especially, this is great for a fenced yard and nearby beaches to create lifelong memories. Thanks for a great stay!

This property is absolutely disgusting!

I never do this, but the way this has been handled by Evolve I want to warn others. If I could give this house a zero I would. It was absolutely disgusting. When we arrived, we pulled the master bed sheets back and there was hair in the bed. The master bedroom smelled like throw up. The floors were dirty. The trash cans were full. The couch is stained and disgusting. The grass was long. Just overall a horrible experience. I reached out to my “contact” person and they never responded. I sent an email at 10:36 that night, the next morning at 8:08 to Evolve directly. No word. Got on their login and started an instant chat and was emailed by their “safe team”. What a joke. I sent all documentation showing how gross this house was. No response back about what they would do to resolve. They were informed that we would not be staying another night. We had to go to target to get sheets to put on top, just to sleep that night because nothing else was available. We left the next morning and checked in somewhere else. I told them I would pay for the first night but did not think it was fair to pay any additional money since the house was so disgusting and we did not stay. We never heard back. Emailed them again on 4/13. They said they would refund $250 since they did not have time to fix the issues. How do you not have time to fix the issues when you were contacted 4 different times ? This company is a joke. Do not rent this house!! YUCK!!!!
