Health/safety concerns

To start, I will state that the trip was not all let down. The location is nice, there are community amenities and the property in discussion was spacious. Now for the reason of the review. On the first morning of our stay after arriving the night prior, we brewed a pot of coffee in the provided coffee maker. Said coffee maker is a dual style with the traditional brew pot, and the individual K cup maker. After finishing two pots, my husband wanted one more and decided to use the K cup individual side rather than make a whole other pot. It was to our surprise, and major concern, that we discovered maggots in the water holding container. We immediately removed the appliance from the house and placed it on the deck outside. The first attempt to contact the property owner was then made, with no response. Given that this was so early into our stay, we opted to purchase a new coffee maker, which still sits in the house today. The windows are nailed shut, the soap dispenser is apparently just filled with water rather than replaced or refilled and the bedding is stained and dated. We have photo and video documentation of these concerns. Further attempts were made to contact the property owner via the app and text messages, with again no response. We will not be returning, and anticipate seeking a refund

Great Family Retreat

We had a great time with the family at this beautiful lake retreat that provided everything that we needed! If you're looking for a place to recharge your battery and enjoy some fun AND quiet time, the "Solomon Manor" checks all the boxes. The large open kitchen and table provided the ideal space for the family to interact and the first floor family :game den" was also a big hit! - Jim & Donna

Nice space but needs some work

The space is nice and cozy. My family and I had a great time. However, there were some concerns: 1. The vacuum didn’t work and the rug was filthy 2. The thermostat in the main room didn’t seem to work- we turned the heat all the way down and it was still 80 degrees in the main room 3. The couches are mid century modern style and the legs are about to snap. They need to be replaced It was still a very pleasant stay and the community is incredibly nice. We look forward to being back!

Just what was needed.

We had a great stay! The property was nice, nothing fancy but everything we needed plus some. This was one of the better equipped kitchens in a rental property we have used. There is the feeling this house was a DIY spruce up, but with the intention of making everyone feel comfortable and welcome and it worked! The kids loved the space inside and out and the arcade games. They have a fantastic charcoal grill and the porch space is wonderful! It rained our entire week and we still enjoyed the amount of outdoor space here. There was a family of deer we saw daily. There is only AC in the two upstairs bedrooms. We used the two down stairs bedrooms and were comfortable. Ground floor windows don't open to create a cross breeze through the bedrooms but it wasn't an issue for us and there were many fans provided for us to use. My only complaint was that the Lake and the Pool are not included with the cost of the stay and I don't think that was listed anywhere in the listing. The $50 HOA fee does not cover use of the amenities. Amenity wrist bands are $8-$10 a day or $30 a week/ per person. We were asked for wrist bands on the beach, at the playground and for the pool. We paid for these

Summer Getaway

We had a great time. The place was clean and ready. The owners were very responsive to all inquiries. They even came and pumped up the bike tires for us. We will definitely be back!!

Disappointed

First, the check in process was a pain. The contact person didnt reach out to us until we were in the gate. Obviously, we waited in the parking lot until the rental papers were submitted to the security. After long hours of drive, we still have to wait for another half an hour which could have been avoided if there’s communication between them, but there wasnt. Second, no aircon in 2 other rooms. It was like oven hot during our stay. There’s safety issues with the wall drillings, it fell off. Cushions were wet, we didnt hang out outside as theres no place to sit. Property daily pass to be purchased daily each even if you are not using the amenities as long as you will be there you still have to pay for pass. They didnt mentioned this to us. We thoughts its included in the rent already. Heater not working upstairs. Flush not working properly. Towels were smelly. Bikes rusty. Kayak no car racks. Blankets dusty. Bed uncomfortable. Cornhole no sandbags. I feel like I deserve a refund from this stay. We almost check out early but we have no where to go. So disappointed with this stay.

Not Clean, Not Accurate listing, Tons of Fees

Whole place smelled like Indian Food when we arrived. No windows open. No fans, no AC. Deck area was disgusting. Grill prep area had dirty ashtrays full of water. Leaves under the tables that had been there since winter. Listing said Central Air and Gas Grill. It had neither. Wasted so much of my vacation building fires in the rain, just to eat. Couldn't open sliding door for airflow because screen was full of holes and bugs were coming in. All of the bikes had flat tires and rusted chains. Listing said 4 kayaks, there were 2. Contacted Evolve who immediately passed the buck to the local contact (but still had time to email me a survey). Local contact wants me to find bike pump and inflate tires, wants me to take pictures to prove the deck is dirty and wants me to set up time with cleaning crew to come back out. I'm on vacation with my family. I'm not doing any of that. It should have already been done, especially seeing I paid an extra cleaning fee up front. Total for the 4 night trip, the fees ended up being an additional 65% of what we paid in rent. Second bad experience in a row with VRBO. No more. Back to hotels

Not Good

House is outdated, we run into issue after issue. Nobody compensated us for all of the inconveniences. As far as Big Bass Lake Community, it must be really packed during Summer months. They don’t give you a gate key card, and there is only one main gate you can enter the development through. Make sure you read everything the owner company emails you. There is extra paper work and a fee. It seems like there are lots of abandoned buildings in the Gouldsboro area. Not too much to do. The state park is not very well developed.

Great place to be with family and friends

We very much enjoyed our time at this property - we picked it because of all the wonderful amenities and we use out of almost all of them! My favorite daily activity was biking down to the beach/playground with my kids. We enjoyed fires inside and out every day and we loved the beautiful hikes that were just a short drive away. The beds were abundant and comfortable. My only complaint is that the listing includes "hot tub" and there is no hot tub at the property or at the clubhouse so that's a little frustrating. But overall we are so glad we stayed and would definitely come back.

A great little getaway!

This place was super cute! Plenty of space for our family of 9. Love the lake access within a couple min drive. Jason was very quick to respond. Even when we were asking for help during our midnight arrival.
