Bahia Vista is in a great location in Avalon. It’s just outside the more crowded areas, but close enough to walk everywhere. This unit is very nice. There is enough seating in the family room for 6 people, and a dining room table that will seat just as many. There’s a bistro table that seats 4 on the balcony that runs the length of the dining room and family room, with a barbecue that can be used to the left of it. The balcony is completely covered with an awning and has a great view of Avalon and the bay, making it a wonderful place to sit all day long. There are 2 spacious master bedrooms and a room with 2 twin beds. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything was very clean.
Several amenities were provided, such as board games for guests who enjoy sitting around a table and having some fun, a cart to carry beach gear and groceries, a washer and dryer, and beach chairs.
Everything we wanted to do was close by: golfing at the oldest continuously running golf course west of the Mississippi, inland tours, parasailing, zip lining, the Aerial Adventure, shopping, dining, and the beach. The ferry is close enough to comfortably walk to. However, if your bags are heavy or bulky, I’d recommend getting a taxi to take them to Bahia Vista.
The one drawback with this condo is that there are a lot of stairs involved. This wasn’t an issue for anyone in my group, but it’s something to be aware of. From the entrance of the complex to the elevator that takes you to the top level of the complex there are several sets of steps. Then once you get out of the elevator, you have to climb about 4 more steps to get to the level this unit is on. When entering the condo, you have to climb up about 3 steps into the main living area. While the main living area is on the first floor, a common bathroom is one flight of steps up. The bedrooms are one flight of steps further up.
