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.

Outstanding home and location

Our family of 11 just spent the week at Avalon and it was fantastic! The communication and check in was very easy and the home as listed is spot on. The location is incredible to the beach and easily walkable to restaurants and shops! The home is perfect for a large group (having the two kitchens was great for extra fridge space and an additional dishwasher) and is equipped for large groups, and then some (plenty of dishes, glassware, pots & pans). The extras that come with the home - beach chairs, umbrellas, beach/pool toys and more, made it so comfortable for us. We had an amazing time and hope to be back soon!

Wonderful Family Home

We had extended family group of 20. 10 grandkids under 12 and 10 adults. Great house. Great location for all on 30-A. Lots to do. We rented several golf carts and enjoyed Grayton Beach to the west and all the way to the Big Chill to the east. Seaside is right next door with all their shops and restaurants, although with our big group we didn’t get to enjoy the restaurants but enjoyed the food trucks and ice cream shops around the amphitheater. Pool at the house was a great hit with the kids. Beach just across the street. Wonderful location and lots of indoor and outdoor spaces for all. Comfortable beds and everything we needed for cooking for 20 people. Great vacation. Thank you!

Christmas Family Vacation for 17

It adequately handled all 17 of us with 8 adults and 9 grandkids ranging in ages from 11-24. The location is amazing as we could walk to Seacrest for any quick foods and drive to Publix for groceries only minutes away. The views from the two balconies is breathtaking. Also the connection with the management Co was so easy and immediate. We truly had a wonderful Christmas vacation.
