All good but the customer service
The only problem I had was when I called Evolve the day of my reservation. I had a difficult time understanding the person on the phone. He told me I didn’t have a reservation which created a lot of anxiety on the day I was scheduled to arrive. I sent an email to Evolve explaining what had happened. I got a quick response assuring me that I was all set which certainly eased my mind. The property itself was just as described. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Can’t wait to go back
We had a wonderful stay at this condo. The location was perfect. The kitchen was fully stocked, better than any other condo we have stayed in. Quiet neighborhood yet very close to the beach. We enjoyed being able to sit on the patio, enjoying the view of the canal, very peaceful and serene. We can’t wait to return.

Comfortable stay, but…
Overall, this property is clean, in a good area, and nice for a couples getaway. The one frustration with the property is that we were not allowed control of the AC thermostat. We would turn on the AC and within minutes the thermostat was changed remotely to an uncomfortable 75-77 degrees. This happened multiple times and every time the thermostat was changed back to a 75-77 degree temperature. Given that this is a coastal property in Texas, our stay was warm and somewhat humid.

I loved the condo, it was small but it delivered BIG! The condo was beautifully decorated. It has water views. The canal is its backyard which was everything to me. I fished day and night right off the dock. The swimming pool and hot tub were beautiful . It was just as it was advertised.

Great, clean stay with a great view and perfect location
We really enjoyed our stay. This condo was clean and Spencer was a great host! We loved the convenience of the location - not far from the seashore and the national park. The property had more amenities than were listed (towels, shampoo/conditioner) but there were a few amenities that would be great adds (beach chairs/ beach towels) and the property is older which shows in spots (outside the condo) which is the only reason it got 4 stars versus n5 The pool and hot tub area were also very nice and enjoyable. This is a great place to stay if you are looking for quiet and peaceful! We will be back!
