Property was as described and location is perfect. Literally directly across from the beach and our family's favorite part was the private beach for Avalon estates. The other beaches were packed, but the Avalon private beach was much more relaxing and enjoyable. Perfect for a relaxing family vacation. Also, in close walking or driving distance from many restaurants, etc. Overall, great family vacation.

It was spring break so a busy time. We brought a group of adults and girls. This property is amazing! Would highly recommend for multi-family trip with kids. bottom floor bunk room w 3 queez sized bunks opens to game room with its own kitchen - ideal for older kids to hang out while adults each have their own king suite rooms w/balconies. Quick walk to beach, reponsive management staff. Enjoyed our stay!

Great for family gathering.
We had a great vacation! It was a beautiful spacious house. It has everything you need plus an elevator! It is close to the beach so walking with small children was possible. The hot water takes a while which made us feel no hot water at first. We called maintenance on arrival and didn’t hear until next morning. The hurricane doors are tricky but we got on to them after maintenance came on second day. The oven door does not close tightly and caused us to need to increase the temperature and time baking. We needed to manually hold the door to preheat. We could not pull our van into garage because not wide enough. We put packaged food out first night and massive amount of sugar ants covered everything! Maintenance sprayed next afternoon but we continued to have some in one area. The house is beautiful but the tile floors and steps are hazardous for small children.

Amazing!
Location is perfect don’t even need to rent a golf cart. House has plenty of space and set up perfectly to give families their own space. Needs a couple things updated that I wish we knew such as the jacuzzi doesn’t turn on until 6pm and does not get very hot at all. Water pressure is super low in showers. Some minor things like handles falling off in the shower or chairs needing repair. It was perfect and we would definitely stay there again.

The property is spacious and clean overall. The pool was not cleaned until the last day we were there. The rooms were all big and everyone had their own area. The property promoted togetherness with the open floorplan on the living area. The property location was great because it was very close to the beach, shopping and various restaurants. I would recommend this property to anyone who asked and even stay there again.

Fantastic location, House ok
The location of this house was fantastic. Could not be closer to the beach and loved the dedicated access and beach. Home was spacious and overall in line with what I expected. Problems with pool heater/hot tub , air conditioning, wifi, dog poop in yard and pool area, pool never cleaned from previous tenants, and doors not closing well so ants/roaches/other bugs got into the house. Property manager also has had poor response time via text and sometimes phone (better but not great). For a high end property, we were disappointed that is wasn’t better prepared or maintained for us.

Nice place and location with a few issues
On the day we were heading down to the rental, we did not get check-in instructions until 330pm. No where after booking did we get any instructions or anything saying we won't get the door code until that time. I had to message and call them for the answer. When we got there we got there we notice the stove hood was not working so whenever we cooked the food smell would go all over the house because the fan did not work. I messaged the host that day and did not get a reply, I called the next day and got a couple missed calls back but no voicemail or messages from them. I tried calling back as well but there was no pick up. Nobody ever came to fix the hood vent during our stay. Also, we noticed the house already had some broken stuff such as the double doors. Most of them had a sign on one of the doors to say not to open which we thought was strange. But the biggest let down was communication from the owner. For all the money we spent, I expected a bit more help/service.

Great location - close to the beach!
Overall, it was a good place and location! Enough room for big families. Here are a few pros and cons. Pros: -great location, close walk to beach -had great amenities for families including propane grills, beach folding chairs and boogie boards although we did not use -host was responsive Cons: -for a group of 20, there were basic amenities that were lacking. Only one roll of tp in each bathroom and we had to constantly request more which was a major inconvenience. Host stated she could not provide more tp due to “limited Sams Club quantities” and told us we needed to go purchase more. -most bathrooms did not have any hand soap, we had to request that -showers were equipped with tiny tubes of shampoo, conditioner and bar soap. Did not request more but fortunately we brought some of our own -home is listed as a luxury rental but was a bit run down and looked different than photos. Could def use fresh coat of paint and some basic upkeep to improve
