We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. We spent most of our time on the back patio, playing in the pool, enjoying the vie...

amazing views
If you are looking for fancy and perfect this house may not be your best choice, but if you like simple and clean with an absolutely stunning view of the bay and sunsets, you should consider this. We paid a little extra for pool heat but it was REALLY heated well and the hot tub was wonderful. The manager was very accessible when we needed some help figuring out the pool. The dock is not in the best shape but we caught all types of fish from it and lots of hours spent out there. Quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay.

Some Good and Some Bad
We really liked the location. Spent a lot of time in pool and boys fishing although only caught catfish! Saw dolphins and a stingray and a manatee and lots of fish. We had a few issues at first. Doug, the owner, was very responsive. We had two major issues: 1. Although the house was pretty outdated we were okay with that because we liked the location. However, because of the price we were paying, over $3000 for the week, we would have expected a more organized house. This house had all kinds of random stuff in drawers and cabinets and closets. It just felt junky. The sheets were so thin, thought they were going to rip easily. Bedspread in master had a big hole in it. There was trash in trash cans when we arrived. 2. Evolve was very unresponsive. We tried to add an extra day. Two months later we got a response. We asked about taking a dog and waited for a response regarding the fee. We got an email from Evolve on Tuesday after we arrived at the rental house. We will never rent through Evolve again.

Great views, property needs a bit TLC
Great location and beautiful views. Unfortunately the pool was filled with algae and we had to wait 2 days for the pool guy to show up, which didn’t help until his second visit. With only a 5 day stay we didn’t get to enjoy it, sadly that was the feature that brought us to this property. Bathrooms also needed additional cleaning before we were comfortable using them with significant amount of mold growing in showers and shower courtains. Overall a bit disappointed…3 of 5 stars

Simply the best
The house is super cozy and we could find everything we need there. The view from all parts of the house is breathtaking. The pool is great as well as the spa. Doug assisted me with the pool and spa temp anytime I needed. He is a wonderful host. The best part of the whole trip... The sunset. Never have I seen so beautiful sunsets in my entire life. Just sitting on the pier and watching the spectacle. It was a great experience for me and my family and friends.

Enjoyed our stay!
Lots of room and we were very comfortable. It was great to have the dock for fishing. The outdoor tv was a nice surprise - fun watching hockey playoffs from the hot tub. Really enjoyed the quiet mornings on the water. Thx for sharing your place.

Amazing house with a fantastic location! Very private and quiet!!!!
We had a fantastic 3 weeks! Kitchen had everything we needed. Nice setup for 2 couples (bedrooms were on opposite sides the house) .Very quiet and private;even when we were on the dock! We spent the majority of our time in the Lanai where there was comfortable seating to watch TV, table to eat all our meals, and a fantastic heated pool & Spa. Enjoyed fishing of the dock. Great time was had by all!

The place was a mess when we arrived!
There was a screw up between the owner and the cleaning crew, so we we opened the door after traveling from around the country, we found trash, dirty dishes and unmade beds. We spent the first three hours cleaning and doing laundry. The owner was nice but made no offers to compensate us. Overall the house is in generally declining sate, but the location generally makes up for it. But since the rates went up 40% since our previous stay, it's just not worth it. If you want a house with mismatched furniture, dirty carpets, a messy garage, junk in every drawer, etc but has a great view, this is for you.
