I rented this house to hide out with some friends before my wedding. My expectations were low but I didn't need much. Even thou I set the bar pretty low the house could not clear it. I arrived in my boat and tied it up (So far so go). I walked up the gangway to find the deck in very bad need of sanding and paint. I would never walk on it with out shoes on. The outdoor kitchen needs to torn down and replaced. At some point I'm sure it was nice but it's missing tiles and is in such a state of disrepair that the owner just needs to start over. Needing to get to the front door I went to the "gate" to walk around the house. The gate almost fell to the ground. I made it through and set back where it was (leaning against the fence). I then walked around to the front door. Inserted the key and push the door. I pushed again. Then one more time. No luck. Making sure it was unlocked I put my shoulder it it. It finally opened. OK. I'm in Off to the kitchen. Flip the switch for the lights. About 20% of the lights worked. I then looked at the floor. There is nonslip tape on the floor. OK, Waterfront home. People come in with wet feet I get it until I walk across the floor. My shoes stuck to the floor like someone spilled a coke and just left it there. At this point some of my friends got there. Good friends, They brought beer. I opened a cabinet to get a glass and found a few mismatched glasses. We had no plans to cook so I never looked for anything cooking related. I'm sure it was all Martha Stewart high class stuff. Fast forward to the morning. I was told if I wanted to take a shower upstairs I should plan on about a 1/2 hour due to the lack of water pressure. Heeding that warning I used the 1970's bathroom downstairs. (Here's the good part of the review) The water pressure was great. While showering I notice at least one missing tile. There's more but I running out of space. The best part of this house was leaving on my boat never to return.

Beautiful weekend in the bay
Beautiful weekend in the bay. Home is need of major repair inside & out,. There was mold on ceiling where it has leaked in the family room and the outside bar was unusable in its current condition. The deck & dock ramp needs to be replaced, it’s dangerous... inside was clean, but the outside area was very dirty and covered in spider webs, broken umbrellas ext. we worked cleaning the outside for 1 1/2 days if our stay cleaning the outside making it presentable to use. but we had a wonderful time, just being on the water is amazing... Mornings sunrises breath taking & gorgeous sunsets!!!

Linda, the homeowners go above and beyond to provide their guests with a five-star experience at their beautiful waterfront home, and we understand they offered you both early check-in, late check-out, and allowed you to host a large family reunion without any additional charges. They repaired the deck and dock ramp last year with brand new chains on the sides for safety. The leaking was completely unexpected and we apologize for that inconvenience. They've done multiple repairs on the roof and we are confident that situation will not recur. We're glad to hear the home was clean inside. We're sorry the outside was not spotless; however, at waterfront properties, it's common for cobwebs to appear from time to time. Lastly, the owners relayed to you that umbrellas are not provided due to damage caused by previous guests. Thank you for letting us know about your visit. Best, the Evolve Team

Great House & Location on Discovery Bay
We decided to stay here while in the area for a trade show. It was way better than staying at a hotel close to the show venue. The house was great and offered everything we needed after working long days at the trade show. It has easy access to the fishing opportunities that Discovery Bay has to offer. Unfortunately we were not able to fish during this stay but will be back! The property Is comfortable, clean and ideal for business travelers or families. The owner was great with communication and had all the details taken care of before and during our stay. We will certainly stay here again when in the area.

Not for Multiple Couples
Three of us couples were in Discovery Bay for a long extended wedding weekend. We booked in hopes that the pictures didn't tell the whole story...unfortunately it was even worse than we thought. We quickly found out that the house is really meant for one family with kids who can make a mess and not worry. It's not set up for six adults. The shower heads in both bathrooms are so low that anyone over 5ft would need to bend over to get their head wet. The kitchen is poorly stocked with cooking basics...there wasn't even a coffee maker! And last but certainly not least, the downstairs beds were horribly uncomfortable (and small) including the pillows. We spent the weekend enduring the situation knowing it would end soon. Very disappointed.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. I assure you that we take any issues our customers experience very seriously, and we hope that the steps taken to address your concerns met your expectations. The homeowner has informed us that the beds and pillows are firmer for extra support to promote health, and that she purchased a coffee maker in addition to the latte machine. Additionally, the homeowner has contacted a handyman to raise the shower heads to an above average height. Thank you again for your feedback, this home is now fully stocked and ready for the next travelers. Best, The Evolve Team
