Great dog friendly home

Well equipped spacious home. Easy for our group and the enclosed yard worked well for our furry family member. Easy walk to town and beach entrance was only a 3 block walk. The outdoor shower is always a treat.

Clean, well stocked and great location

Had a great week at the shore. The home was very clean and plenty of room for our three teenagers. The location was ideal; walk to 40th street beach and close to basketball court and town.

Great Location!

This property’s location was great, close to restaurants, the beach, and the bay. The condo itself is nice but not updated and has an older feel. However, we spent all day outside and had a great stay.

Very clean dog-friendly home away from home

Great place to stay with our fur-babies. Very impressed with the cleanliness of this dog-friendly rental, as well as the responsiveness of the owner when we had an issue with one of the the showers. The fenced in yard was a perfect hang out for the adults, kids (and dogs) after a long day at the beach. We had a great time. Thank you!

Great pet friendly house in Avalon

We had a great time at this beautifully decorated house. Bedroom and full bath on ground floor was perfect for my mom. The neighborhood was quiet, deck and backyard were perfect outdoor spaces and we loved having the use of the bikes. Bonus that we were able to bring our dog. Properties like this are limited and this is one of the nicest we’ve found. Highly recommend!

Great first-time visit to the Jersey Shore.

Our family loved our stay in Avalon. The house was very well equipped and very clean and comfortable. The layout worked well for grandparents, kids and cousins! It was great to have our dog along as well. The beach is a short 3 block walk and Avalon's business district is an easy walk as well. We highly recommend this rental and are considering coming back next summer.

Delightful home 3 blocks from the beach

We had a lovely time in this very comfortable well equipped home. There was a small fenced back yard with a deck/patio which the dogs loved. The neighborhood was very quiet and great for walking the dogs. Also, the shops were within walking distance. My only suggestion is the pillows should be replaced since they are older and flat.

Great place to stay

I was very happy with this rental. The bedrooms were a good size with good quality beds and mattresses. The bathrooms also were large. Overall the house is very well equipped. We came down packed to the gills, which has always been necessary in other houses. This house had enough working bikes, beach chairs, and other equipment that we really could have left ours at home. I'm picky about kitchen equipment, bringing my own knives, serving platters, etc., but this kitchen would have been fine if I'd brought nothing. The kitchen island is a really good add and we set it up as a buffet every dinner. Someone with taste put a lot of thought into this house.

This is a great property! The description is accurate and there is lots of seating for the family to hang out. The kitchen is well stocked. There is a drip coffee maker, not a Keurig. Although there are no shops or stores within a few blocks, you can bike to Avalon. Stone Harbor is a long bike ride or a drive. If you are mainly going for the beach, it is only a few blocks and the shed is stocked with lots of chairs and games. Overall it was a great rental and recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Susan McMurray

Host profile image
We love the Jersey shore, but now that we live in Southern California we do not make it there very often. Instead, we invite you to enjoy our home and everything 7 Mile Island has to offer. We miss it!

Why they chose this property

It is hard to find a nicely decorated, clean and comfortable house at the shore where you can bring your 4-legged family member. Our house is close to the beach, playground, and everything Avalon has to offer (restaurants, mini-golf, ice cream, shops, grocery, tennis, etc.).

What makes this property unique

We are dog-friendly! We provide all of the linens, towels, and paper products(paper towels, toilet paper, coffee filters).
