We have stayed at two other VRBO's this year which is a change from always staying at hotels or resorts. Our first experience in Alabama came with serious challenges with regard to cleanliness and overall upkeep. The second was amazing, however the property was in the process of being 'reapproved' by the city (New Orleans) leading to constant inspection and maintenance interruptions. This stay was flawless!!!! The property is perfectly located right in the heart of Avalon. Restaurants, beach, ferry port (less than 5 min walk), shops, activities, and lots of people watching. You literally can walk 3 minutes for coffee each morning, faster than you can brew your own. By the way, this property has it all. It is so well stocked with everything you would need to enjoy and have fun. Including; puzzles, games, dishes to prepare a meal, a snack, or a cocktail. There are so many leftover spices, coffee filters, coffee, creamer, the list goes on. I would highly recommend checking out the supplies before heading to the store. Beds were very comfy, atmosphere awesome, extremely clean and cared for, and the decor so incredibly homey. You don't feel like you're anywhere but home. Now for the wrap around deck. It's so spacious with ample furniture to sit and enjoy the view. We sat outside a great deal, reading, chatting, playing games and did I mention people watching :-) ! Thank you to the Grisham's for allowing us to experience their property. It's absolutely beautiful.
