I would definitely stay here again. So much was provided, and we had tons of fun zipping in and out of Avalon on the awesome little golf cart!
This was 100% the way to go staying in Avalon. The stairs were brutal, no matter which way you cut it, but I actually appreciated the exercise. (No joke: tell the cabbie to drop you at the top). Definitely don’t stay if you have mobility issues or can’t reasonably climb quite a few flights of stairs every time you want to leave the room.
It was pretty nice weather there, so lack of AC wasn’t too huge a deal, but I could see it being brutal if it were in the 80s or above outside. There were at least 3 fans provided also, so I’m sure you could make it work even in that situation.
Everything was so clean and fun. A few things were kind of wonky, but feedback was taken well.
We took advantage of the private beach and private mini golf course and tennis courts and those were *muah*. Loved having a patio table with a grill. Plus, the deer were so happily just hanging around and adding to the ambiance.
Shower was great. Place was clean. Definitely enough space for a family of four.
Only things to note about this location:
1) The balcony is not private, which the neighbors respected, but it does give you a weird feeling that somebody could just walk up on you, especially if you are keeping the windows open to keep it cool. I think a barrier of some sort between balconies would have made us feel a little more secure.
2) Our neighbors were pretty loud and we actually had to ask them to be quiet through their window at like, midnight. It probably wouldn’t have mattered, but since you have to keep windows open to stay cool, you get everyone’s noise. They say they is a number to call to complain about noise, but they don’t seem to answer it at night. Keep this in mind if you are a light sleeper and maybe bring earplugs.
3) There is cable and WiFi, but no steaming services connected to the living room TV, so we were pretty limited to what was on Cable and a small collection of DVDs. If you want to watch Netflix, you might want to bring your own device.
Overall, we had a great time. This spot was kitschy, but it was in the right location and I think it was especially an amazing value for the price.
