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.

Changing Rates
June 14, 2024
Updated review

I needed to make a change to the cleaning rates for my vacation rental property because Evolve takes a 10% commission from the cleaning fee as well as the pet fee. Because of that I have been paying that extra money to pay my cleaning fees. The process with the Evolve staff to accomplish that was very easy. She was very helpful.

Date of experience: June 4, 2024

I'm mostly very satisfied with my experience with Evolve. The only issue has been with one staff member. We just don't seem well suited to work together. I requested to not work with her anymore, but she is still my contact person. I have just started having my cottage booked, but thus far the experience has been a very positive one, with the one exception. I would certainly recommend Evolve to anyone interested the service you provide.

Great Experience
June 14, 2024

All the necessary details were taken care of with expert precision. The Evolve team knows what they are doing and they do it well. Evolve stood back and allowed me to enjoy my experience while giving the assurance that they were just a phone call away if anything came up. Evolve is on my list of favored property managers.

Doubting Thomas
June 14, 2024

Consider me very skeptical about putting our winter home up for rental. But Evolve provided the needed guidance and resources to make it happen. We are not getting wealthy but project to show profit the first year, which is more than we expected. As we only rent about half the year, we expect to earn enough to pay taxes, insurance, and any maintenance necessary going forward. The best part, we are using very capable partners Evolve identified to perform cleaning, property management, and taxes. I just have to keep track of expenses and income from each guest visit. Overall, very satisfied.

Cute cabin
June 14, 2024

This cabin was just what I wanted. It's tucked away in the mountains by a creek. We didn't get to enjoy it much because we were so busy with the graduation of our grandson from WCU. I loved the creek but it was a bit hard to get close. The owners have made every effort to help us enjoy our visit. Would love to go back and sit by the fire pit and enjoy the outdoors.

Exceeded expectations
June 14, 2024

Often photos and an owners description of their property lie. In this case, the truth be told, the truth was told. In fact, the property exceeded our expectations. Very clean. Very comfortable. Very complete. Very right.

Owners experience
June 13, 2024

We asked to change our property listing to " no pet allowed" but it was not done properly and we had to call Evolve to fix it. We spend almost an hour on the phone with a very nice guy that did the job properly.
We also expected to have the changes online done right away, but we needed to call Evolve to expedite the online changes. Evolve should consider that we could have a lot of rentings with the wrong information, where guests want to bring their dogs. We don't want to have the hassle of canceling rentals.

MSU Graduation
June 13, 2024

Easy process, amazing location that was close to MSU yet far enough out to get a break from all the weekend activity. Loved being able to walk to the river. Home had everything we needed except no high chair. We had a one year old and there was a pack and play but no high chair. We made it work however. Would rent this one again.

Excellent service, people

Evolve has become the most critical part of our rental property revenue. I can't say enough good things about their service. They're experience and their enthusiasm. They work hard to keep our property rented.
