Beautiful views!

This house is close to the dock and beach. The views from the large living room are awesome. There are a lot of stairs to get to the property. This allows for the elevation to get the views. Enjoy!

Beautiful view, but…

3.5 stars… This home is very conveniently located and has a spectacular view of Avalon. It’s great for groups with five bedrooms and three baths - three families stayed together. Lots of stairs, but manageable. However, the house was not very clean or well maintained. There are holes in the walls from woodpeckers. There was a serious ant problem in many areas of the house - kitchen and baths. The house wasn’t stocked with hand soap or paper towels. The roof needed to be replaced years ago and many “improvements” were done quite haphazardly. It is an old home, which also gives it some unique character. Hopefully these are helpful things to know before you book!

Good for our family

Our family of 6 adults and 3 children ages 6,7,10 had a wonderful time! The house is old and could use some TLC but overall we had a wonderful 4 night stay. The location and view are undeniably amazing!! As most homes on the ocean there are some issues but none that really effected our stay. If your looking for a modern home with lots of amenities this is not your place! But if you want a place in Avalon that will provide a real beach experience this is worth a look!

Disastrous house with a beautiful view

There were way too many negatives to make up for the beautiful view this house has. First negative was the walk to the house, it is quite a hike. Although advertised as not good for toddlers, it’s not good for elderly or luggage. The “balcony” is not a private balcony, it’s 2 floors below the unit in front of the other tenants windows. Cigarette butts everywhere. The interior of the house was filthy. So much so, we reached out to the manager to have cleaners come out. They did, but literally only cleaned the things we complained about, namely, vacuumed the rug with cleaning the floors on either side of it. We tried cleaning it ourselves, but the vacuum, like most things was broken. The BBQ was unusable; filthy with what looked like years of caked on food and grease and animal droppings. The wifi/tv was also next to non-existent. Given the excuse “it’s an island”, that would be fine if it was advertised as having internet. The windows are old (as advertised), but 50% are broken so you can’t latch the, sending them swinging with the breezes. Lastly, the floors seem to have been patched a lot, and there are parts where you can stub a toe or cut yourself, especially near the top landings of both interior staircases. To end on a positive note, the owner was responsive, and the view was amazing. Proximity to town was great. We all felt like we deserved to be paid the cleaning fee as we found ourselves cleaning for quite a while. Renter be aware of what you are willing to pay for a view, we felt like it was exceptionally over priced for what we stayed in.

Beware

The pictures are misleading. The balcony with the table is down three flights of stairs. There are 5 flights of stairs to unit.. Though it says not suitable for toddlers, they are challenging for adults with luggage as well. The unit itself is very poorly maintained, the toilets wiggle, the window cranks are broken and the kitchen is very old with ancient appliances and cracked counter tops . The cleaner did a poor job. There were dirty dishes in the dishwasher when we arrived and the windows are filthy. The WFI is almost non existent , but that may be because it is an island. On the up side there is plenty of room and the view is spectacular. If you are willing to spend 900.00 a night for this place I would suggest spending a little more for another nicer spot.
