Everything was excellent. The location is perfect and we could not have asked for a better place to stay in beautiful Avila Beach. The host was quick to respond when we reached out and all of the amenities were in great shape. We were so thankful for the extra beach chairs, frisbees, etc. as well. A perfect stay.

This was our second time staying in Ocean 17. We love the condo and rooftop deck, all balconies, kitchen, bedrooms, baths, thoughtfully appointed. We celebrated our daughter’s birthday this weekend and had everything we need for a birthday dinner. There was a power outage on Sunday, so we were not able to turn on the dishwasher upon check-out. There was 1 broken beach chair out of the 5 (we had brought a few of our own so we were OK), and we accidentally took the frisbee with us but returned it the same day and left it hidden behind a bush by the front door. Thanks, and would love to stay again!

It was the perfect relaxing vacation, just a block from the kid friendly beach and close to restaurants and an excellent coffee shop. Avila Beach is in close proximity to several attractions for children and we took advantage of These offerings.

The bottoms of the chairs are uneven. As a result, the wind moves them at night and they are very noisy.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time in Avila Beach. The condo is in a great location (Very close to the beach and the town but not noisy) and we could hear the ocean while we were falling asleep which is wonderful!!! We had a pretty good view of the ocean too from the living room, the master bedroom, the rooftop deck (which we loved) and the deck off the living room. Everything was in good order and super clean. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We’d go back in a heartbeat!!

Needs a deep clean

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were there for two days. Power was out most of the day due to a city outage. When power came on the smoke alarms beeped for 24 hours. Chirping every few hours. The master sink would not drain , and i called to see if I could have a late check out and was rudely told no cleaners will be there in 15 min . In which they were not there until 4 hours later as we were still visiting friends. The automatic gate near the garage opens whenpulling into the garage nearly hitting the car twice. Gate needs a pad on it in case it does bounce off the car and should be painted a bright color so you can see it coming at you in the dark. And the garage does not park two cars just one . Too small bc of the cabinet that is standing in the left side of the garage. Other than that, the condo is beautiful inside and is decorated nicely.
Response from VrboOwner on Oct 23, 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay. While we're glad you enjoyed the condo's interior and decor, we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences that affected your visit. The city power outage was unfortunately beyond our control, but we regret that it impacted your stay, particularly with the smoke alarms. We're glad our team was able to quickly address and silence the alarms. Regarding your late check-out request, we apologize if the response came across as rude—that was certainly not our intention. Unfortunately, during peak summer season, extended checkouts are not possible. Our cleaning team was onsite promptly after your departure. Thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention. We value your input and will use it to improve the experience for future guests.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely time at Sunsetter. Home was nicely appointed and had everything we needed. Great location. Both bedrooms were the same size which was nice. Plenty of amenities provided too. A bit tough to remember all the access codes and tough maneuvering entering/exiting garage due to unit being on end. Very tight squeeze for 2 cars. Overall I would recommend this property. Management was excellent at communicating.

Five days in Avila at the Sunsetter

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit is very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was very well stocked with all that we needed. Access to the beach and the stores is very convenient and close. The only problem we was access into and out of the garage for the second car. The entrance is very close to the gate and there were trash cans obstructing the entrance to the garage. There were a few minor repairs I needed while we were there. They were handled within a very short time by maintenance.

A Pleasant stay

Location is perfection. We loved having two master bedrooms with attached baths. The main living area was great for relaxing after a day in the sun. The kitchen was well organized and amazing. Being able to easily walk from the house to the beach was so nice. Also the short (less than a block walk ) to Front St. with all the shops and eatery is an added plus. Our stay was quite pleasant.

It was well maintained and was well stocked with everything we needed. In particular the kitchen had as many gadgets and tools that we have at home.
