Very amazing location. Away from town (about 10 min golf cart ride), so if you're in for some solitude and away from the "downtown" madness, this is the place. The balcony was naturally shaded by noontime, so just sitting on the balcony taking in the ocean, boats, etc. was peaceful, after watching the sun-rise, beautiful. The golf cart (almost only method of transportation, otherwise, taxi will get you downtown for about $15) is a bit aged, but once you got the hang of it, using it was fine. . . get's you around. The private "beach" is a rocky one, but the pool nearby sufficed, downtown Avalon has a couple of relatively small sandy beaches and crowded on a hot day. We recommended to the owner that the front door lock get fixed. We didn't want to leave our valuables laying around, though it is a very secure/private location. The master bedroom was gorgeous, full bathroom ditto, the sofa sleeper mattress was thin and as my daughter said "I felt every coil last nite" - standard for any sofa bed I guess, blow-up single mattress was a nice one. We'd come here again, very nice place/location. .. .
