Expectations of cleanliness fell short!
Property overall was great, location from the beach and some good views of the water from the porch. Our biggest issue was that the place was not clean and smelled like cigarettes though the listing states No Smoking. The windows under the porch were so dirty outside looked foggy and there was lots of bird poop on the deck. Tubs in bathrooms were dirty, had to clean especially before bathing our baby. Towels in one of the bathroom's looked used, all extra bedding for the sofa bed were literally tossed into baskets and not folded, smelled used. Multiple plates were put away dirty. And floors, extra dirty had to use our shoes inside at all times. Not to mention their washer had mold and smelled bad, they have a sign on the machines to leave open but looks like the last people to use didn’t follow their rule. We made the best of it by cleaning up a but and washing things we needed to use. It’s disappointing as they have such a high price for cleaning fee. When we arrived we did let the host know about the smell but never responded or acknowledged us. We left it as is to not ruin our mood after all we had our dogs and baby with us to enjoy the beach. Additionally, the whole place needs some TLC and attention to detail. Aside from needing a deep clean inside and out, there were a lot of maintenance issues that should be addressed. Ice machine didn’t work, kitchen table (which is an outdoor patio table) was super wobbly, AC took a long time to cool. Overall place is ok to stay in!

Not great
The house was well done, albeit pretty dirty. The kitchen floor was filthy and bathrooms not clean. Didn’t think I would reach Holly for check in info; texting didn’t work nor emailing and I finally called her the morning of, woke her only to have her tell me she was on vacation. Fast forward to our arrival; housekeeping was there with maintenance fixing the broken master bed...didn’t fix the broken recliner nor the broken panel on the refrigerator. Found that out after calling Holly again and her telling me she was on vacation but would find out and get back with me. Nothing as of 10 that evening so I texted and emailed her again. She emailed me the next day telling me the panel was broken and had to be ordered and would be several days; she would be happy to send us a case of water and that she was on vacation...3rd time!! We left Thursday late after the power went out and had no idea when it would be back on, and still had not received our case of water!! I did not have an alternate person to contact with any of these issues. I called Evolve and shared my frustration and he had Jesse, the homeowner call me. After sharing all my concerns with him I mentioned I would appreciate a refund for 1 night as we were leaving due no power and he said there was nothing he could do about that!! I completely agree on that point, but with all the other issues I felt it was the least he could do. Not our first rental on Crystal Beach and all have been lovely and well cared for!!

Great House!
Overall we were very pleased with the property. Very convenient to the beach. Very clean property. Only issue was a few of the chairs on the deck that were rusted out. Other than that our stay was great!

Just an ok place to stay
There wasn’t anything terrible to write out, but there wasn’t really anything great. Overall, just an average stay. There isn’t wifi. I didn’t realize wifi was something I needed to ask about. Also, the property manager did seem confused and gave us wrong information a twice thinking we were staying at some other property.

Long weekend
We really enjoyed our stay here. Close enough to the beach to walk, but we rented a golf cart to make it faster. Plenty of room for eight. The tile floor does get dirty, so keep your shoes on!

It was pretty good, not great
The place was very clean, but the king bed was super hard and all the sheets seemed really cheap and pretty uncomfortable. The place sleeps 8 and there were exactly 8 plates so if we ate more than once, we had to wash. The dishwasher is not bolted into the space so every time you pull it out to put something in, it feels like it's going to fall on the floor. Barely any Paper Towel and only a few roles of TP (no napkins). The side door seems broken (really hard to get closed). Easy walk to the beach and great patio.
