We really enjoyed our stay! The unit was nicely upgraded and provided all the equipment needed for a great beach day! The view was enchanting and looked like a picture postcard for National Geographic. A beautiful way to enjoy morning coffee! We found a great little gem in Avalon and will return. Thank you!

We have stayed in dozens of VRBOs around the world and this is the best equipped rental we have ever had! The unit is super cute and has literally everything you could think of for a comfortable stay, including kitchen supplies, extra blankets, games, toys and beach gear. It is decorated beautifully and looks better than the photos! Everything was spotless and written instructions guide you for using everything in the unit. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay longer next time! Note that the unit is located a couple of blocks uphill from the main street, which we easily walked, but could be an issue for someone with mobility problems.

This property is ideal in all aspects. The walk up the hill is a bit much for older people or those out of shape, but there’s an app for transportation around Avalon in a golf cart or cab. The place is great for an island getaway for writers.

We were really impressed with this rental. The bathrooms and kitchen are completely updated and you could tell the owners took great pride in decorating the place to make it cute AND functional. There are powerstrips in multiple locations that are easily accessible. The unit is stocked with everything you would need to cook and store food. They even had coffee set up and snacks that you had access to.Location of the place is centrally located to town, however you should know there is a small hill to get to it. We didn't care, but if hills aren't your thing, it might not work for you.There isn't a view of the ocean, but there are pretty trees in the back that the doves like to coo in so they were fun to watch while drinking my coffee in the morning.I would rent this place again and again!

We had a very good experience staying here. The kitchen and bathrooms were well supplied. Plenty of towels including accessories like hair drier, soap in the shower… Snacks in the kitchen, a Keurig and a coffee pot. There are beach chairs and accessories for going to the beach. It feels like they tried to think of everything. The king size bed was nice. Firm, if you love firm. I personally like a softer bed but it was good enough. It was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed laying on the couch watching movies and having popcorn which was supplied in the kitchen. The property is a short walk up a hill. We were fine with the walk but if hills or stairs are a challenge just be aware.

This rental was absolutely worth it! We had four adults and two kids (toddler infant). There was plenty of space to accommodate us for lounging, eating, sleeping, etc. The beds were perfect and very comfy, and the pack-and-play was great, easy to set up, and had clean sheets ready to go. All spaces were very clean and updated. Each space has a wall unit a/c, which was nice for those of us who prefer to sleep at different temps. Would 100% choose this rental again. Glad we stayed here vs a hotel. Fun stuff - twice, we were able to see a deer from the patio, in the trees/bushes below.FYI - there is substantial hill to climb (or descend, I suppose) to get here. Not too big a deal, unless you have a double stroller and/or need knee replacement surgery. It’s still doable, but you’ll want to mentally (& maybe physically) prepare.

Awesome Place!

This place will host 3 couples very cozily. Full Kitchen with a gas grill on the patio! Host was able to accommodate us an extra night when we were stuck on the island due to bad weather. Only Downside was this property is located a trek up a hill. Usually I don’t mind walking but I just ran 50 miles lol

Beautiful property!

Very well kept older property. Easily accommodated 6 adults. Close to walk to everything! The beds and pillows were very comfortable with plenty of extra blankets for cool evenings. It is a steep hill climb of about 2 blocks to get there, that is not disclosed in the description. Take that into consideration when booking based on who is in your party. There was also only 1 extra toilet paper roll for a 4 night stay with 6 women. When we inquired about extra we were told to go buy some. I did not find that very accommodating.

Don’t miss this rental!

I have stayed at many rentals in many towns and this by far has been the very best! First and foremost.. it was neat and clean, my most important detail. Second.. it was decorated so beautifully and made us all feel right at home. Third.. it had absolutely every single thing you might want, think of or imagine you might need. From unique wood puzzles to lint rollers to coffee, bottles of water and complimentary snacks. Beach toys, bandaids and a 12x mirror to put on make-up! More outlets and usb ports than you could ever need and did I mention how cute and comfy? We were all pleased as punch after our weekend and talked on the boat about our next time we can rent 217 Whitley!
