If you could improve on perfect there still would be no room to improve this place. The surrounding grounds are exquisite and the cottage itself was clean and fully appointed. The hosts and the contact were all fabulous people!

Best place to stay
We completely enjoyed our stay! The apartment is clean, private and has great views. We walked through the nature paths, and down to the lighthouse. Also enjoyed sunsets from the deck right on the river. I've wanted to stay in this location for years and I'm so glad I finally did!

Beautiful place, beautiful views. Ships going by, loons. Quiet, very peaceful yard. Beautiful landscape. Stayed three nights, very comfortable.Would recommend for sure and would definitely stay again.
I have stayed in multiple places in the 1000 Islands. I LOVE this place. Clean, perfect location, great views. If you rent anywhere else it's your mistake. Fantastic!

Beautiful apartment on a beautiful property. Attentive hosts. 1 comfortable full bed and 2 twins up a ladder to the loft. Great amenities. We would stay again!
This place is a little bit of heaven. So cozy with a great view of the St Lawrence River to wake up to everyday. It has everything you need. The property owners are very friendly and know all there is to know about the area! My family visits the thousand islands every year and would be happy to come back here.

Thank you for the perfect setting for a little ‘get together’ with friends! We enjoyed the location with a gorgeous view of the river. Loved watching the ships go by! The kitchen met all of our needs and the island is both beautiful and convenient! Would definitely stay again!
This was so much more than we expected. We met our hosts who were charming and welcoming. Our apartment was clean, bright and well-supplieded with all the necessities. The location was very lovely and we fell in love with The 1000 Islands instantly. We will definitely want to return, there is so much more to do ansld see.Mark and Patti

Mark and Patti, we enjoyed meeting you as well. Thanks for your kind review and we look forward to seeing you again.
Very clean home, well stocked kitchen with personal touch. The view of the river from our windows were absolutely amazing and we really enjoyed the stay. It was a last minute booked vacation but it turned out to be amazing and we will be definitely back here if we are visiting Thousand Islands.

This is an excellent property. I would highly recommend it! You have a beautiful view of the river. It was spotless and the furnishings, quilts on beds, books, fully furnished kitchen and appliances were all clean. The location is close to Tibbett's Lighthouse and a short drive into Cape Vincent. Parking was plentiful.
My only recommendation would be to remove the room deodorizer. Otherwise, it was perfect!!

Thanks for your kind review. We really appreciate it. PS we took out the room deodorizer - thanks for the tip :)
the property was immaculate. The property seemed brand new with up to date appliances and dishwasher. You have a variety of coffee makers to choose from. The dishware seemed so new they looked like they had never been used. Sarah, the property manager was very accommodating and solicitous to make sure our questions have been answered. She was a delight to deal with.

Great stay
My family and I enjoyed our late fall getaway to Cape Vincent using this quaint cottage as homebase. The rental, above a garage, is spacious and as depicted in the photos. It was clean, comfortable and cozy with a nice view of the lake. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, cups, pots and pans. Would have been nice touch if it had been stocked with a few basics (coffee, tea etc) instead of just leftovers from prior guests (eg near empty coffee tin) esp since grocery was closed by the time we arrived in town so there was no where to pick up food (thankfully there was stîll one restaurant was open). Would enjoy coming back to visit in summer!
We really enjoyed our stay. This place was very clean, updated, with such a great view. My husband and I have always loved Cape Vincent, and would definitely rent this location again. I only wish that their was enough comfortable seating for 4 people in the living. You won’t be disappointed if you rent this property. Beautiful house, property and view.

Beautiful Apartment
The Care Away apartment is beautiful!! We arrived to a sparkling clean, wonderfully equipped place for our get-away. Everything was supplied which meant we didn't have to take towels or linens with us. While we are grown, it was as if my husband and I were kids because we got to stay in the loft, which was totally fun! The view from the living room was amazing and watching the ships pass by, and the most spectacular St. Lawrence river sunsets was incredible. The apartment is situated away from the center of town, but it's just a short distance to find a market, coffee shop and the local brewery. It's also close to Clayton and Alexandria Bay, where there are so many things available for you to do. Sarah was great to talk to, and we were pleasantly surprised that upon check out we just needed to lock up and head out. (with many rentals like this you are required to clean up, take out trash etc). It's a place we'd visit again and again. Thank you Neale and Mary for opening up your beautiful apartment so people can enjoy all that the wonderful Thousand Islands Region has to offer! We will definitely be back!
This apartment is beautiful, clean and fairly well equipped. The view of the sunset every night is spectacular. The neighborhood is walkable, and it’s a very short ride into town. We would stay here again... without kids. The only critique is that it’s not as kid-friendly as the listing made it sound. We had a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old with us. Having things like a pack n play and high chair to offer would have been great, but not necessary. The only thing we were desperate for was a baby gate for the stairs.
We loved this place, always happy to return after a day's outting. It was a delight to meet Sarah and Tom and grateful to Mary and Neal (the owners) to share this place with others unfortunate not to live here. The early mornings were a peaceful delight and the last lights of the night enchanting and breath-taking. We do hope to return. Absolutely loved Cape Vincent and the 1000 Islands region. Thank you, Debra & Pierre New Albany, IN 🇺🇸

Heat didn’t work when it was 13F outside. Mold in bathrooms
This is my first time using evolve. Their team did nothing to assist us with the issues we’ve faced. It was outright horrible experience. We have had to check out of the place in the middle of the night because the house wouldn’t heat up and the WiFi stopped working. We struggled the entire day trying to get the heat running, we thought it would take some tome to heat up but no. The temperature Outside was 13F so there was no way we could’ve survived. On top of this, The place was a small out-house which was not mentioned in the details.
The interiors were completely different from what has been shown in the pictures. The attic is way too small for adults. The couch was beyond cheap, it didn’t sit even two people comfortably. The coffee pot was very dirty & stinky, I’m not sure how long it was left that way for. The comforter in the bedroom had stains underside. The bathroom smelled of mold in the shower which left me
with severe allergy. On top of that, the house had ridiculous rules such as replace any used household items, clean the counter with windex, etc etc. it doesn’t feel comfortable if we have to keep replacing anything that we use (they don’t cost a dime ) & if we have to clean up the house to minuscule details - why does it even have cleaning fee that way? I’ve been using VRBO for quite some time & I’ve not had such issues before. I was directed to this Evolve from vrbo after contacting them about some questions I’ve had. It’s not very convenient to have to pack everything & leave in the middle of the night with snow at later in the night.
Manager's Response:
Nina, thank you for your review. We apologize that your experience with us at Evolve was less than perfect, as we are constantly striving to make vacation rental easy for everyone. We will address your concerns with the necessary teams to ensure this does not recur with future travelers. Additionally, the homeowner has asked us to pass along the following response:
We are sorry to see such an unhappy guest. We immediately had someone check the furnace upon receiving your email and the professional said there was no issue. However, since you seemed to have an issue with the thermostat operation, we now have instructions posted for future guests. We also have a local rental manager for guests to contact with any issues, but they never received a call from you. Unfortunately, we have no control of the WiFi going out.
The furniture in the apartment has recently been changed due to wear by previous guests; the couch, chair, and bed are new and not reflected in the photos yet, but we are working to update our photos as soon as possible. We are sorry to see that these new items did not meet your standards.
Individuals are not asked to replace household items, but rather to let us know if something runs out so we can replace it. We ask guests to use Windex on the granite countertops to protect them from damage. I will look into your other concerns with my property manager."
Thank you for your feedback and we hope you'll give us another chance in the future. Best, the Evolve Team

Love this place
We have stayed here twice and will be returning in April this year. The pictures do not do it justice, it’s much nicer. However, Just a few Things I would add...an iron/ironing board would be lovely, a full length mirror (we had a girls weekend and it was challenging lol) and although watching TV is the last thing you’d want to do I would have a larger TV for rainy days. Still my favorite place to stay though. Can’t wait to get there.

Beautiful Cozy home with Stunning Views
This was like our Fall Getaway and we were glad Fall was late this season. We witnessed beautiful colors around Cape Vincent and Clayton.The house was perfectly decorated and built to accomadate Family of 4 .My boys aged 11 and 7ys loved their Loft space .The house had everything you need. Dvds, books , we got our roku and kids watched their netflix shows, they have dishes, cutlery, pans if you wanted to cook. There was extra bedding in the closets. It was veryy cold so we didnt venture out much , just relaxed at home and enjoyed the lovely space they have created..We walked acroos the deck with coffe to watch the ships go by..We definitely want to be back in warmer months to enjoy the outdoors more and beauty of this place.
