Avalon villas

We really enjoyed our stay at Randy’s place in Avalon. It’s super clean and cute and the three floors and two-and-a-half baths really let our family spread out so we weren’t on top of each other like in a hotel room. Randy was very responsive and a 5-Star host. The only knock I might have is that although it seems off in a quiet corner, the “map” given by the golf cart rental company indicates a route that takes everyone right past the house. The whine of gas golf cart engines as they go by was pretty steady during my nap time. Not anything Randy can do about that, and if you don’t take a siesta after lunch you probably would never notice.

I have rented some lovely VRBO homes. I do expect a certain standard, when I pay a lot of money and the stay in this apartment failed to live up to normal expectations. Oh boy, does this owner know how to charge! $100 Extra to check in a few hours early. Extra to hire a crib for a baby, an extra $100 if you fail to fill up the golf cart tank. It took $6 in fuel, when we filled it up. Very abrupt text messages from owner when we asked a question. I expect a certain standard and do not expect ants to be all over the kitchen. Owner clearly knew about them as ant bait is in the laundry room. Cleaners were waiting outside the apartment 15 mins before check out time, clearly rushing us out. Catalina is lovely, but I would not stay in this apartment again.
