Excellent. Again!!!

This is our third year at this location, and we hope to come back again! Everything is clean and as stated. The kitchen is well stocked ( we tend to bring our own “equipment “ from years of experience!); the deck is a wonderful place to grab a book and a drink; and the view is wondrous! The walk to the beach is less than ten minutes, and shops and restaurants are almost that close as well. Hosts are available by phone, but we haven’t needed them but once for a question in three years. Two thumbs up!

Clean, affordable, and ocean view in Avon

Location of this property is steps away from a gorgeous and endless beach. The unit was clean and tidy with clear instructions on what or what not to do. Although we only needed the top floor, there were ample bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs for a small army! We had great weather and spent 7 days outside, but there are plenty of puzzles and books if you are rained in.

Great spot

Property manager and check in process are amazing. The house is super comfy and great beach access and location to local spots. The only reason I gave neighborhood a 4 instead of 5 is there was a group of guys in the house next to us who were very loud late at night. But they were on vacation too so we understood, just a little annoying at midnight.

Nice place. Loved the layout of the house. When we arrived it seemed like it could be a bit cleaner. I noticed the smell the most. We had to open the sliding glass doors and a few windows to let it “air out”. The his did improve but we added a few deodorizers to help. Great ocean views on a spacious deck. The walk to the beach took me approximately 400 steps. Not to bad due to the wide dunes that were there. Location was great. We walked to the pastry/coffee shop a few mornings. Foodlion was near by and our inlet fishing trip was amazing. All in all we had a great family vacation.

60th Birthday Celebration

We all had a very enjoyable stay as a result of the house and the location. The house was absolutely perfect for our celebration…the kitchen was well-equipped for the meals we prepared, and it was open to the dining, living and deck areas. We had absolutely beautiful weather so we spent plenty of time on the beach which is within walking distance.

Great central location for the house. We had a great time! Quick walk to the beach or stores. Could not ask for a better location! We just so happened to drive to the Museum of the Sea which is a really neat place to check out! We are planning on coming back to the area!
