Overall the house was great and we were pleased with the rental. The neighborhood was very nice, quiet, and well kept. The community pool was older but in good shape and the kids loved it with the lookout tower. The location was close to beach but we definitely were glad we had a low speed vehicle (golf cart) to drive around. Some things that could be improved.. It’s obvious the house definitely gets a lot of use. It could use a few updates… new paint, new toaster, updated coffee with nespresso machine or similar. Carpets could use a really good cleaning. I was a bit disappointed that there were no bikes with the rental. It specifically listed bikes in the description so when there weren’t any that was a bit unfortunate. Overall we were pleased and would definitely stay at an AvantStay property in the future!

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review—we’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the home, neighborhood, and overall experience, and that the pool and location were a hit with your group.
We truly appreciate your feedback on the areas for improvement. Your notes on updates, carpet cleaning, and kitchen upgrades have been shared with our team as we continuously work to enhance the home. We also sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the bikes—this is something we’ll review to ensure the listing is accurate and expectations are clearly set.
It’s great to hear you’d stay with AvantStay again, and we’d love the opportunity to host you in the future!
We loved our stay! The house is located just down the hill from the pool so it’s close enough to walk. We love that the pool is heated during March! The neighborhood is quiet and safe and just a short walk to town or the beach. We appreciated having beach towels and pool noodles at the house. We were glad to have the washer/dryer too. The house was clean although we would recommend the cleaning team double check the water dispenser on the refrigerator as part of their cleaning routine. We would recommend some new/additional pans, silverware, and cooking utensils. We appreciated having starter toiletries, toilet paper and paper towels. It was chilly part of the time we visited so we used the heat. On the first floor all or most of the heat seemed to come through the vent in the master bedroom rather than the main living space so that may be something to look into. Also, the window in the bunk room did not seem to open. Without any ceiling fan or ability to open the window, it can get warm in that room. Overall, we would recommend this property & would would be happy staying here again!
