About this property

Sail Inn: Waterfront, Dog-Friendly, Private Hot Tub

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Located on one of Avon's best sound front lots, the Sail Inn is primed for windsurfing, kiting, crabbing, boating, sunning or relaxing. The ground level of this ground-friendly has good parking, carport, under-house access, and easy water entry from a low bulkhead and dock. The first level has open decks, an outside shower, and an interior entry with a laundry area. On level two, the first and second bedrooms have extraordinary water views and access to the hall bathroom. The sound front main bedroom has deck access, great views, and a full bath. The fourth bedroom has deck access and water views. Head topside to the third level's great room with tall ceilings and beautiful sound and sunset views. The living area has comfy seating and an entertainment center. The kitchen with a breakfast island (near the dining area and the nearby full bath) is the perfect place to prepare the day's catch and tell vacation tales. A comfy den accented with superb water views is made for quiet moments. A generous sundeck is the perfect place to admire the Island's best sunsets. There is also a park grill available outside. Come by land or sound to the Sail Inn.

The views from this property are amazing! House was clean and towels were large and plentiful. The beds were also very comfortable. Hot tub was clean and the views again cannot be beat! The neighborhood was quiet and perfect for walking our little dog. Close to everything and numerous beach accesses within just a few short minutes.

It was a beautiful home right on the sound. The location was excellent for water access and amazing sunsets. The home needs a few fixes but overall it was very comfortable and would rent it again.

Great Avon location

This is a nice property located in Avon on the sound. The house met all of our needs, including a surprise of two kayaks we could use on the sound. The hot tub was awesome and the views were gorgeous. The kitchen is well-stocked with tools. It is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, so it's quiet.

Great for a group

Our group of 8 adults (and 1 dog) enjoyed our stay here very much. We were in Avon for a week of windsurfing events, and the house suited us very well. The waterfront view from the balconies is gorgeous, and the location is close to restaurants, coffee shops, Sunrise seafood market and groceries. The dining table seated all of us comfortably. I think we would stay here again. Vacasa was very responsive in dealing with minor issues (fridge needed maintenance, for example).

Exactly what a beach house is supposed to be! It was perfect! To be able to put kayaks in right there, ride bikes, enjoy the beach, and visit local restaurants, this place was perfect. Despite reviews from before, it wasn't bad at all. The only thing we would suggest changing is the TVs and viewing options. We had a rainy day and just couldn't figure out the televisions. However, we brought a bunch of games and spent our time enjoying the large livong and dining area and scenery from the top deck. Thank you! We would definitely stay again!

Decent property

The furniture and everything is pretty dated in this house. Overall cleanliness was fine and the dock on the water was a bonus. It was fine for our fishing trip but I know if the girls would have came with us they probably would have been unhappy with how “antique” everything seemed.

could use a good cleaning

Location is nice. The house needs some work. the carpet needs shampooed, It could use a paint job, some light bulbs, there are water stains on the ceiling in one of the bedrooms. We still had a good time, location is good, the hot tub works.

Great views

The house was in a great location with beautiful views. Some of the furniture could be updated. It would be nice if the kitchen had a few items to help with cooking, salt and pepper, coffee filters, etc. Not sure what the black and yellow box full of towels was for, but it was in the way the entire time and very heavy to move. Overall, nice place to stay.

Sail Inn

I was worried about the place after reviews I read. However, if you are looking for a place that is close to both the sound side and beach, this is it! We rented kayaks, bikes, chairs, and corn hole. The place was more than what we expected. The living area is large with vaulted ceilings. Yes, it could use updates, but it's a beach house! It's honestly what we expected. We spent so much more time exploring the place that sitting around the house. It was a perfect place to sleep, bathe, cook meals, and relax in the hot tub. The sunsets were amazing from the home. The sound view was breathtaking! We were impressed and would stay there all over again!

Sail Inn needs upgrade

We enjoyed this area on soundside, but the home itself needs homeowner to upgrade several things, shower curtain on bdrm floor mildewed terrible. Lots of tiny ants and maintenance came quickly to take care of them in kitchen area. Had only a few later. Kitchen cabinets need handles on doors . You have to use both hands to pl the doors open and drawers out. All rooms have holes in wall from door knobs Bed skirting in twin bed rm ..skirting was torn right much and hole in ceiling with water ring. Overhead vents and wall vents immediately need filters changed. Lighting in fridge barely comes on. Sorry, this home needs upgrading.

I’ll give 2 stars for the view…

Since Vacasa has taken over the majority of rentals on the island, this home was no exception to the very typical-ness I’ve come to expect from them. This property was very dated, nothing has been updated or refreshed in probably over 20 years. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. Usually I can deal with the retro feel of things, but this house was truly filthy. There was dust everywhere, and I’m not talking a busy summer season’s worth of dust…this is caked on dust that has been there for years. On every surface. Above the cabinets it was an inch thick. On all of the artificial plants…caked on. We found a dead cockroach in one of the twin bedrooms and one on the staircase up to the kitchen. Where the kitchen table has a seam in it, there was food caked in the seam and it was disgusting. Every tabletop/countertop surface was sticky or unclean in some way. I felt gross even setting my belongings down before cleaning them off myself. This property does have 2 sit on top kayaks- FULL DISCLOSURE: you’ll see the red duct tape all over them. Our 4 year old told my husband he HAD to try them (we have kayaks at home), so he did. They are VERY unstable, not sturdy at all. November weather and my husband fell into the water because it wouldn’t stay reliably afloat. The two stars are for the view, and for the added convenience of being able to fish off the deck. Hopefully Vacasa will see they need to make improvements instead of using these houses as cash cows.

Meredith, we are so sorry to hear of the disappointing stay you had at our home. We understand that cleanliness is of utmost importance and we deeply regret that the home was not up to your expectations upon arrival. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide to our valued guests. The home is scheduled for the yearly deep clean which is when items like excessive dust and other issues are addressed and taken care of. Upgrades and improvements to furniture and equipment are ultimately up to the owner's discretion. Our local staff will provide a report for the owner on needed upgrades for the upcoming year. We hope we have the chance to impress you in the future!
