We had a lovely pre-Xmas stay in Melinda's home in Avalon. The pool and backyard were fantastic and we really enjoyed the free-flow living room with wrap-around glass sliding doors. Our little two-year-old girl was thrilled when she discovered the cubby house with slide and the trampoline as well. The adults enjoyed playing boules in the grass area at the back and sitting at the outdoor table for breakfast in the morning.
The master bedroom was large and luxurious, with a great ensuite with double vanity and showers and a retreat with views of the ocean. The other bedrooms were rather small, so guests will want to take that into consideration. They were also not serviced by airconditioning and only had small wall mounted fans for air circulation, something to consider in hot months.
The area was great and the Avalon main street has a charming village vibe. We had a great meal in town at the Mexican restaurant called Alma.
The only real negative is that the property is feeling a bit tired and not well maintained. It needs some love and attention to detail to be truly called an executive home (and a coffee machine).
