Such a perfect gem to stay at! Location is everything, and this didn’t disappoint! Also so clean, quiet, and comfy, with plenty of amenities. Five stars all around!
Wonderful cottage in an amazing location. Walk to everything. Super comfy beds and nice hot shower. Everything functions really well and we were thrilled to have a washer/dryer. Super easy to check in and out. Thanks for being a great host!

Super quiet location. Cute property that’s close to everything.
The house was just as described. Great locations with just minutes to the ferry and Vons by foot, even an easy walk for a 7 year old. The house had all of the basics we needed and was quiet and safe. Would definitely recommend!

This home was clean and the double sized bunk beds were very comfy. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and utensils.
Didn't take long to walk from the house to the main strip of shopping and food. Beach was the same distance, maybe a 5 minute walk to Vons. Great location, convenient as heck, and close enough we could walk to the house from the ferry.

Too Cute
This cottage was perfect for our small family of five. Love the vaulted ceilings in the living room and the decor. It was nice to be able to access the keys on site and not have to deal with lines at a rental office.
So well decorated, furnished and clean! A perfect cottage for a couple or a small family. The location is very convenient to the center of Avalon. The windows all have nice curtains, which we mostly kept closed because it’s not very private at front or back, and side view is not lovely. (Can’t be helped given the location.) Rental company is also very good.
Home location is centrally located. easy to get to the market, restaurants and shops. Beds were very comfortable and the house well appointed. Use the toaster oven not the toaster (it burns even at the lowest setting). TV flippers don't work very well but there is so much to see and do the digital wasn't missed. Fun time. Would come back to this house again.
We had a wonderful time at this beach bungalow. I took my 20+-year-old daughters and daughter-in-law for a girls' weekend. The house was as it appears in the listing. The house is clean and has a lot of natural light which is nice, and the living room was comfortable for the 4 of us. The king-size bed was VERY comfortable. The bathroom is spacious--even for four women! The kitchen has everything you need. However, the coffee pot could really use an update/upgrade! The lid falls off and there are better, inexpensive coffee makers out there! The beach amenities could be in better shape/ quantity. I ended up buying and leaving a beach blanket for future guests, as there are no beach towels or blankets in the house. The location of the house is great--close to EVERYTHING. Keep in mind, though, that being in the center of everything also means it can get loud on the weekends. Other than those minor issues, this cozy little house is a great place to stay.
We spent Labor Day weekend at this house in Avalon. We are a family of 5, and the stay was very comfortable. My kids all slept well on the bunk bed and the couch (my son’s choice over the sleeper sofa). The location is perfect. Only steps to the center of Avalon. Would gladly stay here again.
Close to the center of activity but far enough away to not be noisy. Lovely clean house. Great communication with the management team who got us in earlier that expected to the house.
This was a perfect wknd getaway cottage . Close to town (just a block from the water) walking distance to everything -no need for a cart unless you wanted to go up the hill to airport or Hamilton cove . Cottage had all the amenities needed. Has a small ice cooler & beach chairs and floats w pump for a beach day . Has ac but we just used the box fans /ceiling fans and the temperature was great w the windows open . House manager never responded but it wasn’t a dire need, but would have been nice to get a response. The only complaint was ant issues but a can of raid left under the kitchen sink solved that . Would totally rent again for a visit to the island . Suggest having a brush hanging outside by door to brush sand off feet.
