This place was clean, spacious, and had great AC (that was not listed which was a nice surpris). It's a little walk up the hill to get to but a perfect place outside of that.

This was such a cute spot! It was clean, fully stocked with everything we needed, had amazing views from the balcony, and was very comfortable. The best part is that it was a 5 minute walk from the center of town, beach and swimming areas, and a 15 minute walk to descanso. I would stay here again!

This property was just right for our group of 6.The location to town is very convenient. The house was clean and the kitchen well equipped.The big front deck with the view of Avalon harbour is where we spent most of our time. One of the table umbrellas was broken when we got there and it would be nice to get that fixed for more shade on the deck. All in it was a very comfortable house that suited all our needs and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend.

The house is great for a large family or group of friends. It’s very spacious. With two separate living areas and three full bathrooms. The house could some updates. A couple of the couches are rather worn. Location is great with its proximity to town. There is a big hill to get to the property so be prepared if you are carrying luggage from the ferry. We had a Plumbing problem, but it was due a city sewage spill, and the host immediately responded. We would definitely stay here again. In fact one in our group is already planning a return trip.

Avalon fun

Our stay was fantastic - beautiful house to celebrate a couple of girlfriends special birthdays. Six of us comfortably stayed in this beautiful place. Other than the hill (which was definitely manageable) the location is great to get all around the island. Truly enjoyed our stay at this terrific property.

Vacation Stay

Had a great vacation stay with plenty of room for whole family. The walk up the hill was worth the spacious room, balcony view and great kitchen facilities. It would help to advertise a child playpen is included in the amenities...it was nice to have but we rented one because it wasn't advertised. Great place to stay overall!

Great property. Very clean and organized. We loved all the beach themed decor around the unit. The kirchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook. Beds were very comfortable as well. Our only complaint is that it is on a hill and some of the older folks from our group had a tough time with that.

Great location and spacious!

This house was great for our family Easter getaway. Plenty of room for 8 of us, amazing kitchen, living area and balcony with the best view! Check in process was easy and everything was super clean. It is located on a hill so the walk up to the house was difficult for some but we all can’t wait to go back!
