Good besides a few things

Overall, it was a beautiful house and we enjoyed the ocean view and the hot tub. The reason I didn’t give it a full five stars was because: there were no blinds in the Master Bathroom and lots of big windows going out to neighbors so that was a little weird. We did let the manager know, but we never heard back about it. Another blind in the bedroom was broken as well. Hot tub was nice but a little bit murky water. We also had asked the day before if we could check out a little bit later since it was the time change and we were already losing an hour, but they didn’t get back to us until 10 minutes before we were checking out, and we were already packed up to go, so we lost an hour of our time there. We also felt like there was lots of cameras around the outside of the property including by hot tub. And you have to put anway anll dishes ant checkout. Otherwise a nice place.

Beautiful views

Overall it was a nice place. It was pretty outdated, the beds were very uncomfortable and it would have been nice to have darker curtains in the bedrooms. There are no curtains in the master bath, would have liked more privacy and some way to block the morning sun. Views are stunning, we enjoyed the evenings out on the deck with the fire tower and hot tub too.

Place has mice

I would not recommend staying at this Evolve property. We had multiple major issues that made our stay extremely uncomfortable.First, the plumbing was a disaster. Every time we flushed the toilet, water would splash out into the sink, getting us wet—completely unsanitary and unacceptable.Second, the house was absolutely infested with mice. We saw them in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and hallways, and there were mouse droppings on the kitchen counters, in the bathroom, near the fireplace, and throughout the house. When we reached out to the host, they brushed it off as “normal for the hillside” they don’t use real pest control—just plug-in repellent devices from Amazon. Instead of actually addressing the issue, they just have someone clean up the droppings before guests arrive, which is disgusting and not a real solution. The conditions were so unsanitary that we couldn’t even let our baby crawl or play on the floor, which made the stay even more stressful.Finally, one of the main reasons we booked this place was for the hot tub, but it was filthy. The filter wasn’t even installed, making it completely unusable.Overall, this place was unsanitary and poorly maintained, and the host’s response to serious concerns was completely inadequate. I highly recommend avoiding this property.
