Unprofessional when dealing with issues

I rented a property for 15 days due to some work being done on my home. I experienced multiple issues during my stay and decided to check out 4 days early due to delayed action taken by the owner with issues raised and it being unsafe to continue staying at the property. There were large broken tree branches dangling in the yard (this was addressed a few days into our stay), they had regularly scheduled landscaping which we were not informed about (we had 3 dogs with us and the landscapers came into the yard without notice), there was a pool vacuum hooked up which could not be turned off if removed so it needed to remain in the pool while using it (this was dangerous considering the force of the suction hole on the pool wall could easily pull hair into the hole or cause harm to hands or other body parts if they were near the hole), we had multiple scorpions inside the home and found groups of scorpions outside the home at night. The day we left the home we reached out to evolve to see how to cancel the stay early due to finding multiple scorpions in the home during our stay. They advised us not to cancel the reservation. I had to follow up 4x to see the status of the complaint with very little to no response. They stated they would be opening a case for the issue. I was never given any information on a case related to the issue or any progress. It seems they waited until after the review period was over to tell me they were closing my case due to lack of response and evidence provided by me. I answered all questions they asked and they never followed up with me asking for evidence or more information about the situation. The company is unprofessional and only quick to communicate prior to your stay. They have ignored my most recent follow up providing evidence of the scorpions and the conversation I had raising the issue with the home owner.

Terrible company

Terrible company. Not at all helpful when something goes wrong with a guest. Not worth it. Basically take your money as a host and do nothing

Reply from Evolve2026-08-04

Hi Nick, We’re sorry to hear that you felt unsupported when an issue arose with a guest. Owners should feel confident that they have a reliable partner during challenging situations, and we understand that your experience did not reflect that. Your review has been shared as an opportunity to help us evaluate and improve our processes moving forward. Although you’re no longer with Evolve, please know you’re always welcome to reach out if there’s ever anything we can support you with.

Crap company

Guest booked for four but then had her entire family of 7 stay. Reported to Evolve and they said they wanted proof. I took photos and sent them then they said I was invading their privacy by taking photos. This company is a piece of sh*t! Just ask anyone on FB Evolve Vacation Rental Homeowners.

Reply from Evolve2026-08-01

Hello Freddie, Denise, and/or David, We’re sorry to hear about your experience, as this does not reflect our standard process. We were unable to locate any recent cases regarding this concern under the account associated with your email, and we’d appreciate the opportunity to investigate further. When a guest exceeds a property’s maximum occupancy, we have policies in place and will take prompt action when appropriate documentation, such as footage from a disclosed outdoor surveillance camera, is provided. However, interior cameras are strictly prohibited, and visiting the property to take photos while guests are present is considered an invasion of privacy. Please call us at 877-818-1014 so we can locate the reservation, review what occurred, and determine the appropriate next steps.

Easy to reserve & constant contact

It was easy to book the condo & it was exactly as described in the site’s posting. I also liked that the Evolve team sent reminders about our stay & suggestions for things to do in the area, making sure to keep in touch with us before our stay.

Reply from Evolve2026-07-29

From an easy booking process to helpful reminders and local recommendations, we’re glad our communication helped make planning your trip feel seamless. It’s also great to hear the condo was exactly as described. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Communication was very good

Communication was very good, but I really think my 5 stars is for my particular stay and the host/owner! Everything was easy, from the booking to check out. It was clean and cozy clean and the trip was great!

Reply from Evolve2026-07-29

A clean, cozy stay, easy communication, and a smooth experience from booking through checkout sounds like a great trip to us! We’re especially glad the host and owner made such a positive impression and helped earn those five stars. Thank you for sharing the recognition with them and we hope to host you again for your next trip!

Modern, well-located townhouse

The townhouse was clean, convenient and well decorated. Communication with the host was prompt. It is really 4 stories counting the cool rooftop deck with a great view. My wife and I would happily stay there again.

Reply from Evolve2026-07-29

Hi there, It sounds like this townhouse checked all the right boxes, from the stylish interior and convenient location to the rooftop deck and its impressive view. We’re also glad communication was prompt throughout your stay. We’d be happy to welcome you and your wife back anytime!

The property was perfect for our family

The property was beautiful. It fit our needs perfectly. The listing was accurate and the pictures were great. The info about the area was helpful as well. There were a couple things missing from the listing - availability of a gas grill and some deck furniture. When I asked about the grill, the response from Evolve was that there wasn't one. It seemed that was AI generated from the verbiage in the listing. When I was given a person to contact, he said there was a grill and a few pieces of deck furniture. My only complaint about the property itself was that there were not nearly enough utensils for the number of people the house could accommodate. One other issue was that the closet in the upstairs king bedroom was locked off, so no closet was available to the people staying in that room.

Reply from Evolve2026-07-29

Hi Allison, Thank you for sharing both what worked well and where the stay fell short. We’re pleased the property was beautiful, accurately represented, and well suited to your needs. However, the conflicting information about the grill, along with the limited utensils and locked bedroom closet, should not have created uncertainty during your stay. We appreciate you bringing these details to our attention and hope to provide an even better experience the next time you stay with us.

Because of a serious health issue

Because of a serious health issue, I am unable to attend my weekend at Bentonville. I’m willing to transfer dates but they will not give me my money to reschedule since it’s five days before the trip. I am livid.

Reply from Evolve2026-07-30

Hi Marilyn, We’re sorry to hear about the serious health issue preventing you from taking your trip to Bentonville. We understand how upsetting it was to learn that your reservation could not be moved or refunded just five days before check-in. After reviewing the reservation, we found that the request fell outside the cancellation policy agreed to at booking, which provides a full refund for cancellations made at least 14 days before check-in and a 50% refund for cancellations made 7 to 14 days before check-in. Because the request was made 5 days before arrival, we were unable to approve the refund or transfer the reservation to new dates. However, we’re happy to review the circumstances again if you can provide supporting medical documentation. While we cannot guarantee a specific outcome, we’ll advocate for your request to receive further consideration. Please contact us at 877-818-1014 or send us a direct message through any of our social media channels and we'll be on standby to proceed with next steps.

Went down hill when they out sourced customer service and use AI for reviews

They have really went down since they outsourced there customer service. You spend a lot of time going in circles if there is a problem. They use AI for everything and have lost common since. I refunded a tenant half of the rents back and Evolve took managemnt fees out and the tenant got peanuts. Shady business practices. They did not do that in the past. They changed!

Reply from Evolve2026-07-27

Hi Donald, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Making vacation rental ownership easier is one of our core commitments, and we’re sorry this has not been reflected in your experience with us. We’ve shared the comments from your review with the appropriate teams so they can be considered as we continue improving how we support our owners. We’d also like to provide additional context regarding our service options. As operating and staffing costs have increased across the vacation rental industry, Evolve has maintained its starting management fee of 10% while expanding distribution and working to improve response times. Our Evolve Plus plan offers owners the option of more dedicated support for an additional fee, allowing them to choose the level of service that best aligns with their needs. We’ve also introduced AI-supported tools to help improve efficiency. We recognize that these tools still have opportunities for improvement and will continue refining how they are used to better support both owners and guests. Should you have a specific concern that still needs assistance, please contact us through one of our social media channels or call 877-818-1014.

They used the bait and switch tactic

They used the bait and switch tactic. We rented airbnb home in North Fork, CA. We had a 4 nights rental. About a week before our travel, they sent an email offer of 25% off your entire stay if you stayed one extra night. We accepted the offer and was charged $95 extra over the quoted price. They never responded to my request for a $95 refund. Thanks, Jim Bohrer

Reply from Evolve2026-07-30

Hi Krista, We’re sorry for the confusion surrounding the promotional offer and the changes to your reservation. After reviewing the details, we confirmed that the offer provided discounted rates for adding a night before or after your original stay rather than 25% off the entire reservation. Although the reservation was initially extended, the added night was later removed. As a result, the stay no longer qualified for the promotional rate. We understand how the wording may have caused confusion and have shared your feedback with the appropriate teams for review. If you have any questions or need assistance with anything else, please feel free to contact us directly at 877-818-1014 or through any of our social media channels.

Perfect location

Our VRBO rental was perfect for our 5-day stay in Chicago. The rental was beautifully appointed and in a great location, very close to Loyola University, restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach. There was ample room for 6 adults. Definitely would rent this -lace again!

Reply from Evolve2026-07-27

Hi CJ, It sounds like this home was a great fit for your Chicago getaway! We’re glad the location made it easy to explore Loyola University, nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach, while still giving all six guests plenty of room to relax. Thank you for staying with us, and we’d be happy to welcome you back!

Great Rustic Cabin

Great rustic cabin off the beaten path. This was a wonderful place to stay on a quiet country road complete with all the necessary amenities. The host are onsite and very friendly. They offered great information about the area and provided ideas for various activities to do during our stay. They were always excited to hear about our daily adventures. Overall, this was a great place to stay with all the comforts of home.
