Great cabin in a very nice area! Enjoyed our stay but didn't like having to haul our trash somewhere. Didn't know about that inconvenience till we arrived. Overall, a nice weekend getaway.

Avoid renting any property with Evolve as Property Managers!

1st time using Evolve as prop managers for my annual ski trip. Had multiple issues with my condo but the main issue was this condo's featured private spa which was broken for the entire week. Compared to other condo's, I paid over $1000 more just for this feature and Evolve refused to refund my extra cost for the spa. AVOID renting any property with Evolve as prop managers!

Edit in response to Evolve's reply on 3/31/26:

Your refund of $584.66 is less than 20% (18.5%) of the nightly rate for the week. A 20% refund is $633 for the week BUT I had to pay heavy taxes and Evolve fees on the nightly rate. I should not have to taxes/fees. My refund should be 20% PLUS taxes and fees for the 20%. Just a point of reference, the total cost for my 7 day stay including taxes and fee's was $4637.21.

I understand it is not Evolve's fault for the condo not being as advertised. I understand it was not the owner's fault as well. They tried to fix the problem during the week BUT it most definitely NOT my fault but why am I having to pay for it? All I want is what is fair. If your policy is to give me 20% then give me back 20% BUT I should get 20% of the taxes AND 20% of the Evolve fees back as well.

I shouldn't have to be fighting with the owner or Evolve for a just refund. Hence my original assessment of Evolve and their management procedures.

Do NOT use Evolve as your property managers.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for using this platform to share your experience. We sincerely apologize that your stay did not meet the standard we strive to provide for all guests. Please know that we have shared your feedback internally with all appropriate parties to help improve how we serve our guests moving forward.

After further review of the details you mentioned, we found the following:

- The listing for this property does not show the hot tub as an add-on priced amenity, and the total amount paid for the booking included the nightly rates, along with other mandatory fees such as cleaning and damage protection.
- While we understand that the hot tub was a key factor in your decision to book this property, the owner with the assistance of a specialist attempted to repair it in real time but was unsuccessful.
- In consideration of this issue, and in alignment with our Core Property Standards process, a partial refund of approximately 20% of the nightly rates was issued.

Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay. While we understand you have indicated that you may pursue further action regarding a full refund, please know that we are still here to assist if you have any questions or need help with anything else. You can reach us at any time by telephone at 877-818-1014 or through any of our social media channels.

I strongly advise other property owners not tp go with Evolve ever.

I strongly advise other property owners to avoid Evolve. My experience with their customer support and management system has been deeply disappointing for several reasons:

Inflexible Pricing: Their system fails to adjust rates based on guest count. Whether a booking is for 2 people or 8, the rate remains the same, which ignores the additional wear, tear, and utility usage of larger groups.

Zero Rule Enforcement: They provide no support when guests ignore house rules. As an owner, you are left to deal with the fallout yourself while they remain hands-off.

Flawed Algorithm: Their "smart" pricing algorithm is ineffective at designing competitive or logical rates for the market, often leaving money on the table or mispricing the value of the home.

Poor Communication: Dealing with their support team is exhausting and unproductive. They lack the urgency and care needed to support the people who actually provide the inventory for their business.

Save yourself the headache and look for a management partner that actually protects your investment.I am lot of others had similar experience. Really surpised that they have 4 ratings .I think all of them must be paid ratings.Please this is very honest review. I have multiple incidents where they just failed to provide support miserably .

Hi Devika,

Thank you for leaving your candid and thorough feedback. Our promise as a company is to make running vacation rentals easier for our owners, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you’ve experienced during your time with us. Please know that we take feedback like this very seriously, and we’ve shared it with all internal teams to help guide improvements in how we serve our owners moving forward.

We’d like to take this opportunity to provide some additional context, as well as recommendations regarding the concerns listed in your review:

- While we may not charge specifically for every additional guest per reservation, we do have a mandatory damage protection fee that all guests pay to ensure coverage in the event something unexpected occurs during their stay. This fee helps protect your property in case of damage, with coverage applied to each guest booking.
- We understand the limitations owners may encounter when it comes to enforcing guest evictions. Since Evolve does not operate on-site, we do our best to ensure guests are following the rules through communication and, when necessary, coordination with the designated guest contact. Ultimately, owners rely on our damage protection process if damages occur on-site. As a reminder, this is outlined during the onboarding process for every Evolve owner.
- Evolve uses proprietary dynamic pricing technology that collects billions of market data points every day to set optimized rates up to 395 days in advance. This is similar to the tools airlines and hotels use, but tailored specifically for vacation rentals. The system also gathers real-time market insights to help Evolve and our owners make informed and strategic pricing decisions. That said, we recently implemented the ability for owners to set custom minimum rates for specific time periods to address concerns around pricing, and this has seen positive results. This is an option we recommend exploring and is actionable either through the owner app or by contacting us directly.
- We acknowledge that there have been a few missteps from our support team, and we’re truly sorry. Your feedback has been shared to help improve team performance. While we continue working on internal improvements, if you’re still having difficulty receiving the assistance needed, we encourage you to reach out through any of our other support channels such as social media, as there is a dedicated team always available to help with immediate issues or requests.
- Lastly, we want to clarify that we do not pay for positive reviews on external platforms. While we continue to grow and improve using owner feedback, many of our owners are truly satisfied with our services. As partners, this involves working collaboratively to resolve concerns, explore new ideas, and as a result - do our best to uphold our owner promise.

We want to assure you that your partnership is extremely valuable to us, and your success is our success. Please feel free to reach out directly at any time if other concerns arise through any of our support channels. Thank you again for taking the time to share your review, and for being a part of Evolve.

The house was very nice and well stocked with all supplies one may need. Extra paper towels etc toiletries. Surprised to see a Kitchen aid mixer. Would recommend this house and stay again if in Phoenix area. Perfect location and convenient to Restaurants, shopping and going downtown or to Scottsdale area.

Large Home - Great Outdoor

The house was very nice & as pictured. The pool was lovely & the amount of beach & pool toys, chairs etc. was a nice bonus. The home is a little dated & could use a review of kitchen supplies. The one disappointment was the posted "rules" all over the house - some were common sense & others seemed nit-picky. On vacation you don't want to feel supervised.

They cancelled my resevation

Booked a reservation with them through airbnb. They cancelled it 48 hours before my trip saying I did not verify my identity even though I did. The $650 refund wont be issued for 5-15 days so I don't have funds for another rental. Airbnb said it is not them and I can still rent from them.

Hi Shane,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

After investigating your booking cancellation, we were able to confirm that it was canceled directly by Airbnb. While we don’t have additional details available at this time, we recommend continuing to work with Airbnb regarding your refund.

That said, we appreciate you booking with us, and please don’t hesitate to reach out directly either via telephone at 877-818-1014 or any of our social media channels if there’s anything else we can assist with.

Rough start, then smoother landing

UPDATED: A rough start, but it appears we’re back on track.
THE START: We arrived at the house, but the code did not work. Phone calls, text messages, nothing got a response from the owner. So we called the company, and they also would not answer. After waiting a long time with exhausted children, we eventually gave up and went to a hotel. Very frustrating.
THE UPDATE: We found a different company phone number, and then got a hold of someone. He was helpful, although we were still stuck at a hotel on night one. We later got ahold of the property owner, who was apologetic. We got into the property the next day, and the property owner stated willingness to pay for the hotel. So although it was a very rough start, it appears that things will be good. Once in the property, it’s nice and the fam loves it.

I had rented 2 bed 2 bath condo over Christmas in Gatlinburg. My neice and nephew came down with COVID so had to cancel 4 days before. They have a clause that says if canceled 48 hrs before; you’ll be granted a travel voucher. We then rented a small studio unit that was over represented in pictures and all furniture had been changed out for cheap furniture, much older than on websight with a non working kitchen and fear of using stove. Only storage for clothes was 2 closets and drawers in bed; all taken by cleaning supplies and the few outlets that were there were non working. The working one had 8 plugs in it and a fire hazard. It was good for patio view and sleep, also TV stopped workingv2 days end of trip. There was also a 4 inch layer of dust on everything!!! This was not up to EVOLVE standards. I reported all this and talked to several 3rd party agents from India and Egypt with language barriers. I was promised our $$$ returned and they’d be sending in inspectors and photo team to update. I’m still waiting for that $650 back. I’m also still fighting to get my $1,600 back for original booking. It should’ve been given in form of travel voucher for future use; I definitely would’ve used it as we’ve been using Evolve’s for 3yrs with no problems.

First sales girl was rude to me

First sales girl was rude to me. Her name was Elizabeth, then they passed me to a girl named Kim Henry if that’s even her real name. Probably not. Again rude to me. If they are supposed to be in the Customer Service industry, how in the hell can they be rude to anybody. There is lots more companies that do what they do. No stars for bad workers. Evolve you might want to record your workers.

Welcoming

Welcoming, clean home with everything you need. Guests feel like they are visiting a friend! Lots of little touches made our visit special from the heated pool to the welcoming trays on the bed. Was also nice to not have to buy laundry or dishwashing detergent. Would definitely recommend. Owner was also kind and accessible.

Had several questions about one of their properties and was going to book. Took them 4 days for a generic response and then still didn't answer my questions but said to reach back out again if I had any questions so I canceled the booking. Scam company, non-existent customer service. Airbnb owners should not have Evolve manage their listings.

Our partnership with Evolve has proven to be beneficial for our business and, together, it feels like a team.
As myself and my wife navigate this vacation rental as a new business after retirement, Evolve has come alongside us to help guide us with suggestions to better our product for our guests and their managing of the scheduled bookings, cancelations, and the rare claims for damages, has proven to be a great help.
We could not be happier with Evolve.

As incompetent as they are dishonest.

Worked with Evolve for years, and as long as things go smoothly and you never need to speak to anyone, they are fine. On multiple occasions I have been flat out lied to, (e.g. wanted to speak to an actual human, asked the chat agent for a number, refused to provide multiple times-- the number is available publicly online, just a stupid issue).

The breaking point came when after I was able to get a hold of someone due to the platform having multiple issues and glitches, including a chat person blocking my ability to get reservations, they offered a credit on my bookings of their fees. The booking came around, the fees were paid, and my credit was not applied. After getting three different excuses as to why they are unable to give me a credit, (they can't give a credit if it was booked through Oasis, they can't give a credit on anything that was booked prior to them offering the credit, then they can't give a credit on something booked through VRBO, just nonsense), I gave up. I am not doing business with these incompetent and lying jackasses any longer. You don't offer a client a credit due to your shitty service and then make it a headache to get the credit and lie about the reasons why.

EVOLVE ISSUE RESOLVED WITH COMPLETE REFUND!!!

I tried to communicate with VRBO via Evolve's AI agent to modify my ski rental's dates and got no response from a live Evolve agent or the host and had to cancel my rental which cost me over $400 due to their poor untimely communication. I have been a VRBO customer for decades now and have never had this breakdown in communication before. Really upsetting to get burnt like this. John H
GOOD NEWS!!! Got a response back from Evolve and they graciously refunded all of my money! Very classy, much appreciated and worthy of changing my 1 star rating back to a 5 star! I will continue to be a VRBO customer!!! Thank you so very much!

Awesome Stay

The home was very well appointed, had everything that we needed. Space was ideal for our group of 10 (4 adults and 6 kids). The ski-on/ski-off situation was super ideal. Extra perks were a heated garage accommodating 2 cars and the boot heaters (sounds spoiled yet so essential). Loved the home and Moonlight Basin, would stay here again in a heartbeat.
