Reviews

Kathryn H. Jun 17, 2025 06:05:47 AM
Summary: The property was easy to access, set back from the road, quiet/peaceful neighborhood, and secure. Crystal was a wonderful host, every amenity was considered/anticipated. The house was clean and conveniently located. We picked this property as it was close to a family get together, but I would certainly make a point to return and rent if available when we come back to town to visit.
Lee B. Nov 14, 2024 10:09:02 AM
Summary: Crystal was very attentive and responded quickly to all questions, the property was clean and had everything we could need and more !

Summary: My wife and I were searching for a place to get out of Tampa and approaching Hurricane Milton and we needed a place we could bring our dog. We were fortunate to find this listing and it was a lovely cottage. Crystal made our stay amazing! We originally were going to stay just two nights thinking Milton would come and go, but neighbors that we spoke to told us our neighbor lost power and Crystal helped us work with Evolve to extend our stay two extra nights. You couldn’t ask for a more helpful and sweet person to work with than Crystal. She’s warm and caring and made us feel like old friends. One unique quality of this’d property is it’s a hobby farm with many interesting animals and if you have children with you they would get a kick out of the variety of animals they would see. We highly recommend this property and you would be blessed to get to know Crystal.

Summary: Very unique property with an exceptionally clean/ cozy /well stocked home. Family really enjoyed strolling down the drive and watching all the animals. The host was attentive and available for any questions. Nice and relaxing place to return to after a lot of family reunion activities. Would definitely stay again when we return to the area.

Summary: We had such a lovely stay. The home has everything you could possibly need. The small details and the personal touch when we checked in was so thoughtful. The minute we walked inside we felt so at home. We loved the little farm, it felt like a wonderful mini retreat. The host was so nice and helpful, we look forward to coming back!
Pamela K. May 13, 2024 01:23:20 AM
Summary: Beautiful home with truly thoughtful amenities including fresh eggs from the farm on the property. Host communicates effectively and responds quickly to questions. She even let us know that her place was clean and ready to go earlier than expected just in case we wanted to check in early! Great stay. We highly recommend it! Five stars just don’t say enough.

Summary: We had a fantastic stay with our family and dogs!! The house is very clean, quiet, comfortable and well stocked. The little farm was great and the kids really enjoyed it! Will definitely stay again.
Jovanhy P. Jan 16, 2024 02:42:18 AM
Summary: This location was GREAT! The property was a little hidden, but it was great to be secluded. The farm animals were a real treat! Our kids loved them and so did the dog. She was as interested as they were. It was great to see such a clean property for having so many animals. We were even greeted with fresh eggs and a basket of treats, which was perfect for when we arrived late in the afternoon. All in all it was a great stay. If I’m ever in the Jacksonville area I will Deff stay again. The host answered back quickly to all the questions I had.
M. Lauren C. Jan 16, 2024 02:12:18 AM
Summary: We were in town to visit family and 4 adults stayed at the cottage on the farm, which is nicely appointed with plenty of any thing we might need. We brought my nieces children and the rest of the family to visit the farm critters, We all loved visiting the animals, Crystal was a wonderful host and very easy to communicate with. I will definitely return to stay at the Hobby Farm, Its a delight for all ages.
