The property was perfect for a weekend getaway with the family. Quite little street within walking distance to the boardwalk and Vons. Really makes you appreciate the quiet life over the hustle of city living.

This was a very comfortable place to stay in Avalon. It's nicely decorated, the kitchen is very well appointed and the rooms relatively large for the island. We had three adult couples traveling together and were delighted to not have to deal with twin beds, but there is a playpen (maybe crib?) folded up in the closet, for someone with small children. The location was great, within walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants. Kathy's communication with us was great!
