Port St Joe Beach House w/ Pool Access!

Reviews

• Great property, but…..

  3/5

  Dealing with Evolve was less than desirable. I assume Evolve is the property manager, but I’m not certain. The property listing does not mention Evolve at all, but once you book & you get the confirmation via the VRBO app, any further communication goes through Evolve & it’s sent via email. The day we were supposed to arrive I still had not received info to access the property. The email containing all necessary info was sent to my husband’s email. This trip was my sister & I & my husband was in a different state & no, I do not have his email access. I had to call Evolve to get the info sent to me, but why can’t all communication go through the VRBO app like other properties? This would have made everything much more efficient. And then the pool. The email said pool code was in the guest book inside the house, the guest book said it would be in the welcome email. It wasn’t either place. I called Evolve again & they instructed me to contact the property owner. The owner responded very quickly with the pool access code. I hate leaving a negative review & please note the only negative aspect was Evolve. The property is perfect! Easy beach access via the boardwalk, the house was clean & in a safe neighborhood. Beds were comfortable & the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay, but if we have our choice, we will not rent another property when Evolve is the manager. The owners have done a great job at making the property feel like home & the decor was very stylish.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Merlene, we’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the home, the beach access, and the thoughtful touches throughout the space—it means a lot that you took the time to share both the positives and areas for improvement. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - After looking into your check-in experience, it was confirmed that the instructions were originally sent to the email address provided at booking. Once Evolve was made aware that a different email was needed, the information was promptly resent to the updated contact.
  - The pool access code has now been added to the Guest Book. A new digital system was recently installed at the pool, and the code had changed shortly before your stay.
  - Guests are always encouraged to reach out to the Guest Contact with any property-specific questions—they’re local and able to assist quickly with anything that comes up during a stay.
  Thanks again for your feedback—we’re happy you enjoyed the home and hope it made for a memorable girls' getaway!

  This was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The community was a great fit for us. Live entertainment was a short 6 minute walk away! Short walk to the beach that was absolutely beautiful!!! Fun was had by all!
