Evolve Vacation Rental Reviews Summary

The company enjoys a strong reputation for providing clean, well-equipped properties that meet customer expectations, often enhancing family gatherings and vacations. Customers frequently praise the professionalism and responsiveness of the hosts, highlighting their accommodating nature and attention to detail. However, some concerns have emerged regarding rising service fees and a perceived decline in personalized service since the company's association with VRBO. Overall, while customer satisfaction remains high, addressing the fee structure and maintaining personalized support could further enhance the company's standing in the competitive vacation rental market.

Customer service not helpful
November 25, 2024

The event we were traveling for was canceled due to hurricane damage. It was too late to cancel the rental home (unfortunate but understandable). The host was okay with us changing dates but I tried three times to work with customer service to change the dates, and they just kept telling me that the new dates I chose came with an increase in cost. They couldn't tell me why (other than that pricing is dynamic), and they couldn't help me find dates that didn't come with an increased cost. A manager was never available when I asked, or I was told a manager wouldn't be able to help.

Hi Dana - Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about your experience while trying to adjust your travel plans, and we appreciate the chance to address your concerns.

As you were already informed, we utilize dynamic pricing, which works similarly to pricing models used by airlines or hotels. Rates fluctuate based on factors such as demand, seasonality, and market trends. When moving a reservation to new dates, the cost may differ from the original booking. While we’re always happy to transfer the amount you’ve already paid, we’re unable to match the original rate to ensure the property owner doesn’t miss out on potential income for dates with higher demand.

We understand this was frustrating, especially if you weren’t given clear guidance or support in finding suitable dates. Additionally, we apologize that you weren’t able to connect with a manager when requested. We are reviewing this internally to ensure our team provides better assistance in similar situations moving forward and again, sincerely appreciate your feedback on how we could have provided better support in this situation.

Great experience

Our experience was very good. Our host was slightly delayed in getting us the passcode for the keyless entry, but she responded right away when we texted her for the code.

My wife and I rented this condo with two other couples for an event in town and we will be coming back. Views of the mountains and the strip from the condo. Walking distance to the strip. Beautiful park and Truckee River at the front door of the building.

Evolve was professional and communicated well. Condo was clean upon arrival.

No on-site parking, but tons close enough.

Beautiful rental with beautiful view
November 6, 2024

Loved our room and our view. Located right above one of the properties pools. The ONLY negative thing I have to say about the room itself was that the pull out sofa bed had not been cleaned. Had empty fireball bottles and trash in it. Reported it and was told that the sofa bed wasn't advertised. So I guess that means not their problem and not a big deal. Either way when I pay good money to stay somewhere I want it thoroughly cleaned. The area was nice. Laid back and quiet not a lot of noise. But with that it was a good 20-30 minute drive to fast food. I'd stay there again
