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.

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.

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 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.

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!!!!

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!

Place was okay for our needs. Wish the outside patio area was a little nicer. Mark was very receptive to our questions and needs. Place needs a little touching up but close to the beach like we wanted

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.
