The house was better than expected. Had everything we needed for our stay. The only downside was we could hear the street noise as the house is not well insulated but fortunately the noise was minimal at night.

The house is darling and in good shape for its age. They did a great job upgrading the kitchen. The layout worked well for a friends trip. The bathrooms are very small but adequate. Would have been nice to have shampoo in the shower like all other vaca rentals I’ve stayed at but they don’t provide that so bring your own or hit up Vons before you shower. Maybe it is in the small print somewhere and I missed that. Great location and the management was easy to communicate with. Loved sitting out on the front porch watching all the people and golf carts go by, even a late night deer trotted by. Nice having the washer and dryer. My only negative would be the king bed is ready to be replaced. It has a huge sunken down side and wasn’t comfy. Spouse had to move to a bunk bed in the other room which were way better. All around great visit tho. Clean, cute, and near everything. Still gets 5 stars in almost every category.
The overall house was in a great location. It had everything needed but very old. The Decorative pillows were gross (dirty). The walls need to be cleaned. The toilet lid in the master bedroom was not on properly. The coffee pot was really old as well. The TV was really small and the controllers to the TV didn’t work very well. The house overall was great I would feel more comfortable if there were blinds on the front door it was uncomfortable at night that people could see in the house. The cat that came around every day was a bonus.

Better places to stay
Overall the little house was beautiful and in a nice walking distance to beach and Vons. House lacks cleaningness as couch, bed and decor pillows smelled old and dusty. Our main bed pillows had burn stains on them. The bed smelled like it came from grandmas attic.
The kitchen needs more modern appliances such as a coffee keurig machine. It has an old burned coffee drip brewer. No charcoal on-site to grill. Although theirs wifi there’s basic cable only. No movies to watch (mayor disappointment) we relied on our phones for movies. Out of all the places we’ve stayed at this has been the worse in my books.
I rather walk to a better hotel or apartment and have better amenities than to stay in a small cottage with no leg room. Bathrooms were also very disappointing. The master one was super Small and no space to change other than the bedroom. TVs are super small. Computer screens to be more accurate: bad experience overall
We loved our stay in Avalon, this house was in an excellent location. Easy walking distance to everything including restaurants, bars, grocery stores and hiking. We loved the front porch and sleeping spaces! Would definitely stay here again!
great property. clean. well-stocked kitchen. Suitable for divers with lots of gear to manage. Loved the shower in the main bedroom. Would have liked better quality TP from the cleaners.
Very pleasant experience . Kids loved it . The only negative was the early checkout and late check-in times . We had to pay extra to store our luggage on arrival and departure.
Convenient location and cute house. It's old (100+ years), so not every thing works quite right. Some of the inside doors don't latch closed, but it wasn't really an issue for us. We'd stay there again for sure!
All 6 of us (ages 16 to 68 years older) loved the well situated and charming cottage. Not noisy at all in January. Located within two blocks of Vons supermarket makes it very convenient. Well equipped kitchen and great porch. Super clean with plenty of towels. And the property manager was very responsive. We plan to return!
The cottage is lovely! The owners have taken care to create a quaint and cozy little rental that is perfect for families. My kids loved the bunk beds and, though small, there was plenty of space for my family of 5. The location is very conveniently located. My family's only complaints were, because there was no A/C, the windows had to be kept open. Since this is a fairly busy street with all the houses so close, there was noise from intoxicated people at night that woke them up and noisy golf carts during the day that made relaxing on the adorable front porch less than ideal. The cute table on the back porch was a nice quiet place to have dinner since it was away from the sgreet noise. The TVs are very small, but I didn't mind since it was nice to adjust my family's attention away from the TV and towards other interests. All in all, we really enjoyed this adorable cottage and would stay again.
Loved this place. We were so pleased to find everything we needed there, wagons, bbq, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler. The house was roomy and we loved sitting on the spacious porch. Close to grocery store.
Super cute house in great location close to town and grocery store. Beds are comfortable and furnishings are great, room for a group. Kitchen stocked well. Master bedroom and bath had no power in outlets or lights. Reported issue but was told repair could not he made without electrician so spent weekend showering in the dark and getting ready in the living room. Asked if we could leave bags at house past checkout on last day as compensation but agency refused. Great little house but it might have issues and they won't compensate you for it.
We LOVED everything about this place. It was spotless, charmingly decorated, it was my dream beach house. The layout was perfect. Loved that there are games, books and movies. Master Shower had excellent water pressure. Kitchen well equipped. Voghn’s grocer was as a 1 min walk and town and beach are a 2-5 min walk.
We didn’t have our kids with us, but they provide not one, but TWO wagons, which after traveling loads with our kids is amazing for going back and forth to the beach.
They also have the best veranda hands down.
I guess our only thing is for the price per night, I feel they could have a golf cart to use to explore Avalon with instead of having to go into town and rent one.
my family enjoyed our stay.
relaxing decor.
only down sides from the house itself were:
1. no dishwasher or "chilled water" dispender.
2. two decks of cards.. but both were missing cards :(
Lots of lovely books and other games provided though.
We definitely enjoyed our stay.
