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.
Cozy home near the beach. Lots of space and amazing kitchen! Cooked a big breakfast one morning and made steaks on the grill another evening.

It's great to know that the house exceeded your expectations and the location was ideal. I appreciate your positive feedback and look forward to hosting you again in the future.
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.

Thank you for the thoughtful review of our property. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness, organization, and beach-themed decor. We're also glad the kitchen was well-equipped and the beds were comfortable. Thank you again for choosing our property, and we hope you had an overall wonderful stay.
Uplifting place to stay: bright, spacious , well decorated and well-equipped. Especially loved sitting on the deck in the morning and enjoying views of the ocean and the town.
The house has an amazing kitchen and plenty of space for a large group. As with most houses there, it is up a steep hill, but shuttles are available. The cleanliness is acceptable but could use some attention to detail. We would definitely stay again.

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!

Thank you for the kind review. We're delighted to hear that your family enjoyed their Easter getaway at our property. We strive to provide a comfortable and pleasant experience for all our guests. Your feedback about the location and amenities is much appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
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!
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.
We stayed 4 nights. The view from patio was the best. Kitchen is well stocked and top of the line appliances. Lots of space for families/couples. TV upstairs and downstairs is great for families with kids. Short walk to downtown area. Up hill walk home but definitely worth the view.
This house is the best! Eight of us stayed for a long wedding weekend. Roomy, well designed, everything we needed was there. We were able to keep our e-bikes in the garage, used the beach chairs and umbrella, beautiful kitchen and awesome deck. So much fun!!
Beautiful sunrise view from the balcony. My family and I had a wonderful time in the home. The house was clean and everything we needed was provided. Perfect home for our huge family of 8.
