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!

The short walk to the beach…glorious view!

Fantastic Week

We had a fantastic week at Sailfish; the house has all the basic amenities and it was clean. It is within a few steps from the beach which makes it extremely convenient specially if you are going with little kids. Mr. Lewis was very responsive and always replied to my messages all along the way. The outdoor shower was a lifesaver with my 3yr old and we showered her there all the time to avoid tracking sand inside the house. Being within walking distance from the ice cream shop was another bonus :) Overall we had a great time and we would consider going back.

This was such a a nice stay. The owners were so communicative, our week was after hurricane Erin made a mess of the area. The owner kept me updated and let me know the minute we could head that way. Made the situation less stressful. The house is comfortable and well equipped. It is just a short walk to the beach; while part of the path is a boardwalk you do have to walk a bit in the sand and up the dune. So might be aware in case anyone has difficulty walking. One you get to the beach, wow. It is a beautiful stretch, nice and wide. For the third week of August the beach was not crowded. One additional thing we did appreciate was the two refrigerators in the kitchen. Great idea and we appreciated the extra space. I recommend this property, beautiful location, nice house and great owners.

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.

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.

Sailfish

The property was wonderful. Check in was easy. Prepare for stairs, lots of them if you bring dogs. Quiet, easy beach access, easy to find and access to Avon. Improvements: mention where the instructions are posted, as I didn't see them til the second day and WiFi info at the TV was outdated. WD40 on sliding glass door to deck, gate at the top of the stairs from the top deck so dogs could sit outside alone, identify where the vacuum cleaner is (not the shampoo machine) if you want us to vacuum before leaving.
