Sun-Soaked Coastal Cottage w/ Deck + Walk to Beach

Great spot

We had a great week and very much enjoyed our stay. This property has everything we needed to be comfortable and the location was perfect. Looking forward to next year.

A bit disappointed

Upon arriving at the house, we found it uncleaned, linens all over the floor, and not ready for guests; I contacted Mike, the owner. Mike called the cleaning crew, and immediately handled it. Mike was very apologetic and suggested we have dinner at Ken's Restaurant while the house was getting cleaned, dinner and breakfast the following morning on him. Now the house. I have to admit I failed to see that the train tracks ran behind the fence of this property. The pics looked like the sand and ocean were on the other side. Every time a train goes through, it shakes the beds, making it feel like you're riding in one of the freight cars. I laughed, until I found out they wait until they are directly under the bedroom window to blare their whistle, not so funny! It would be nice if the house had a binder explaining the Check in - check out instructions. Recommendations on places to see, places to eat! and instructions on how to access the Internet/ Wifi. This Information was emailed upon confirmation of the reservation, but I never thought to print it, and take it with me. In other rentals, tape is placed under each switch advising what light or fan it operates helpful information! In the living room there are several lamps, but (NO BULBS), same problem upstairs, as well. The TV downstairs wouldn't work until we figured out, we needed to buy batteries for the remote and finally got it working. The other remaining (3) TVs in the house we were unable to get working. The stairs are very steep! If you have any health issues such as a hip, knee etc., this house (IS NOT) for you. I'm scheduled for hip surgery in January, so this was difficult for me. The house is close to the pier and beach, which was nice, but all the shops were closing down for the season, a bit disappointing. Some had 50% off, but not much to choose from. I'm leaving this review in hopes that it may help someone else looking to rent this home. If all these issues were fixed, this would be a beautiful place to stay. I've never experienced a rental without a welcoming basket and so many extras to make you feel welcome you didn't want to leave. I think we checked out early. Note* We had to buy toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, coffee filters, coffee, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, and batteries for the remote. So, the next guest will have a few supplies. Case of water. We take two big vacations a year, and I would never go through EVOLVE again when looking for a vacation rental. Thank you~

vacation

Upon arriving at the house, we see that they were doing construction which we didn't expect. The house itself (the downstairs) was very nice. Upstairs was a different story. In the description it says 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Yes, there were 3 bedrooms upstairs with only 2 sets of stairs to get there. The bedroom in the front of the house has to go thru either bedroom to get up and down. The 2 bedrooms upstairs have bathrooms, the 3rd bathroom is downstairs. Not a great situation for couples going thru bedrooms when people are sleeping or whatever. Not much closet space except for the master bedroom. It was across the street from the beach and many restaurants in the area.

House spacious and clean

House was clean and everything was great for our stay. The kitchen was easy to cook in and the furniture was very comfortable. We would stay here again. All amenities worked well for us. Upstairs closet bifold door was hard to open and close, but that was not a big deal. We left some extra laundry detergent for the next guests.
