Maine get away
December 17, 2024

This house was exact as pictured on VRBO. Perfect for 3 adults. Loved shopping at the stores on Main street and was only a half hour drive to the Oxford casino.
Check in was easy and house was very clean, would definitely rent this house again.

Golf was great.
House could have had more towels and dish towels, no dish rag to wash dishes. Portable mixer would of been nice, Missing a TV remote so no TV.

Perfect getaway
November 29, 2024

If you love the Monterey area this place is for you. Near the 17 mi drive and close to Carmel, this home offers all the amenities. It is newly renovated and spacious. We are planning to return next year!

Evolve resolved
November 28, 2024

A last minute changes of plans which required an additional night to our original booking. Evolve quickly secured our additional night, however I was charged for an additional 3 nights versus one night as requested. Once contacted Evolve realized their error and happily reimbursed us for the additional nights.

Great place for a group retreat!
November 28, 2024

We had nine men gather very comfortably and enjoyably for a weekend get away. The place was incredibly clean and well-outfitted and accommodated us very well. Very nice access to the beach. Very private. Lots of local attractions close by. A perfect place. Thanks!

Cozy Cabin
November 27, 2024

My wife and I stayed at this cabin for our anniversary. This is a very small cozy cabin for two people. The owner is very responsive if you have any questions.
The hot tub is the best feature for us as we spent a lot of time there. You do have to go outside and downstairs to the lower deck for the hot tub. There needs to be privacy shades added to the lower deck because people can see you from the road.
This is also the busiest dirt road I have ever stayed on! Maybe because there are other properties in the area? That being said, it's still quiet.
If you have a full-size truck you will have problems getting turned around in the small driveway and there is no way to back up from the road into the driveway due to the angle.
Nevertheless we had a great time and we would book here again if some privacy shades were added.

Excessive Service Fees
November 26, 2024

We loved the house that we have stayed in several times before. The problem is that the service fees have become excessive; since Evolve became associated with VRBO the personal service has been reduced and the fees continue to grow, to the point it is becoming too expensive to use the service.

Good value
November 25, 2024

House needs some TLC as things are looking a little run down. Two weeks later, I have yet to hear back from the property manager about the issues that I reported. However, the house was spacious and for the number of rooms it offered was a very good value.

Better than I anticipated
November 25, 2024

Everything was beyond what we expected, the description and photos do no justice to the property, the house itself was very clean, all the accents and color choices created a very welcoming environment! Our FAVORITE was the Tiki Bar, WAY COOL, the community or surrounding areas was very peaceful and therapeutic, much needed! We will DEFINITELY be back!
