Callao home
Great location. House was very nice. Only issue was a few things were needing repairs and the banisters going up the stairs were very dirty and sticky. We had to wash them down ourselves.

Did not stay
Unfortunately the place was nothing like the pictures, tried getting a different place from Avant but they did not accommodate the place was really really dirty nothing like the pictures. Had baby’s and friends and had a reservation for a week. Very frustrating situation I would not recommend this place or this property management company. We ended up booking at a different beautiful clean house.

We really enjoyed this beautiful property which is in a wonderful location. The private access to the beach was right at our back door and was so convenient. The customer service was excellent- all questions were answered quickly, politely, and thoroughly.
