Great place to stay on 30A. Close to Seaside with beach access just across the street. The pool was a hit for all the kids after fun in the surf. Lots of toys, chairs, & umbrellas available. The house is well outfitted, plenty of lovely rooms and space to gather or hide away. The only downside is the noise from 30A over Spring Break. If you are looking for a quiet respite close to town and the beach come in the off season. If you’ve got kids who want to be close to everything over their school break this is your spot. All in all the family loved it. The house was clean, well maintained, and the hosts were awesome and available if needed.

We're so pleased to hear you all enjoyed your stay. Teenagers absolutely love spring break in Seaside, and it's nothing like the notorious college spring breaks elsewhere in Florida. But it's still definitely a very exciting time!
The weather wasn’t conducive for laying out by the pool, but the outdoor fireplace kept us warm while lounging poolside, and the heated pool was a necessity!The house location was perfect. It was less than a 1 minute walk to the beach and less than a 10 minute walk to Seaside Square where we indulged on a variety of foods.Views from the 3rd & 4th floor balconies are spectacular.Amenities were also a plus. The aforementioned walk to the square was a simple 3 minute bike ride for those who preferred not walking.All in all, it was a great experience!

Thank you for staying! We love March vacations at Seaside. The average high temperature in March is 69, so it tends to be very comfortable, especially when you're basking in the sun!
We had a wonderful stay! The perfect house to host a large family, and the location was perfect! (As was the price!)Very close to town, we were able to all walk even with small children, and the beach was a 30 second walk!
We had an amazing time staying at Avalon! Awesome location with short walk to the beach and short walk to all that Seaside has to offer, highly recommend and will stay here again!
Loved our week here so much!! The views from 3rd and top floor were perfect:) communication was above and beyond what we are used to. Our first time here and we loved the town. Bikes were a lot of fun and we rented baby gates for our crawler:) great place to spend a week! We regret nothing!
This property was perfect for our family! The two kitchens, two outside decks, the pool and the proximity to the beach were key for our family of 9 adults and 6 grands! We will definitely be back!!

Thank you! We're so happy you had a nice vacation. We hope to host you again soon!
This was our 3rd time staying at Avalon and it never disappoints! Perfect location for walking to shops, restaurants, and immediately across the street from beach access. Highly recommend!
We loved staying at this house. It was so convenient to the beach (literally steps away) and the Seaside shops and restaurants. The views from the 3rd and 4th floor balconies were extraordinary, House was very accommodating and came with beach chairs, bicycles, beach toys and more that made our stay more enjoyable. Plenty of room for our family of 14.

What a wonderful guest! After noticing portions of the review above did not post, this was emailed directly to us the next day: "Avalon was just great! We have never stayed at a house so well equipped with kitchen, entertainment, and play supplies. Our entire family - ages 9 months to 75 years - found things to enjoy, and of course your location is excellent. Many thanks to you and Sonia! A week is hardly enough at Avalon."
Thank you, we loved hosting you and hope to have you back!
Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. The views were amazing and the quick beach access was awesome. We had a wonderful time biking in the area as well and we hope to visit again soon.
Avalon was perfect for our family of 10: close to the beach and Seaside, plenty of bedrooms, and large kitchen for cooking. Having a private pool was an extra special perk. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much. We're planning several upgrades for 2020, so hope to see you next year!
Location was great! Beautiful view from living areas!! Cross the street then 44 stairs and BEAUTIFUL beach/ocean right there. Management and owner very communicative. Even mailed a few things to property mgmt which were at the house on arrival; thank you Julia! Kitchen is stocked to the hilt. Plenty of everything. 13 adults, 5 children. Everyone had their own space, with a good layout which is always a challenge for our group.

Thank you so much for the kind words. We are indeed fortunate to have Avalon's location so close to both the beach and the town of Seaside. And Julia and the management team are just irreplaceable, so lucky to have them!
Home was very well furnished with a lovely courtyard with pool, children’s pool and fireplace for our outdoor activities and barbecue! View from the top two balconies was incredible. Location was perfect with many places to eat within walking distance. We are definitely planning a return visit to Avalon next year!
We had two families with a total of 10 kids, and this amazing house had space for all of us. So close to the soft white beaches and a quick bike ride to morning coffee in town. The owners and management company were very responsive and took care of all our needs.

Thank you for the kind words! There are of course lots of places for morning coffee and pastries in Seaside, and our favorite is Black Bear Bakery and Cafe. We're lucky to have it so close, on "our end" of Seaside!

Wonderful house, well stocked
The house was wonderful. The location was great and the owners have done a great job of keeping it updated and more than well stocked. We were very happy with the house and the rental management and hope to rent it again next year.

Thank you, Sondra. We are foodies ourselves and always try to think of things like seasonings and kitchen utensils anyone might need to feed a large group. We hope to have you back again soon!
We had a great week at Avalon. It is located a short walk from the shops and restaurants of Seaside and directly across the street from the beach access. The house had everything we needed and the communication with the host was excellent.
I would highly recommend this property as the balcony has a straight shot due to the ocean. The home is lovely and well-stocked. We will definitely rent this home again.

We rented the property for a family week for six adults and two kids. Plenty of space for everyone. The house was well equipped and the description on VRBO was accurate. The property was within walking distance of restaurants and main areas. We would recommend it again.
