Avis Beach Block Upscale Home with Private Pool - 6 Bedrooms /Sleeps 12

No cable so couldn't watch the US open or NFL or important news, which marred our stay.. No usable outside shower was also surprising.

Everything about this house was great- slightly dated decor but the floor plan is amazing

House was large and allowed 13 adult siblings and spouses spaces to gather without being on top of one another. Host made some seasonal accommodations that we really appreciated. She was responsive but not intrusive. Only hassle was having to provide our own linen. Some of us came from as far as Hawaii, Cali and So Africa so arranging to have linen there was a hassle. Otherwise, the house was a perfect choice for the cost.

Conveniently located a short walk from the 40th street beach entrance and all things Avalon. This pristine block provided the tranquility we were looking for! Our extended family, including some college aged children stayed entertained and busy. The house was spacious with plenty of places to escape both inside and out. The pool was an added bonus and served as a refreshing way to start and end the day. The upstairs loft served as a nice office for the occasional zoom call when called away by work. The property host was amazing from pre-booking through checkout. We hope to return again!

Probably the most annoying part of the stay was having to send pictures of damages in the house in the first 2 hours after check in. There were multiple issues, stains on the carpet, food on one wall, missing handle on a drawer , broken window blinds, and damage to the outside door from the living room to the patio. No toilet paper provided! Who rents a house without supplying toilet paper? The property manager did call me and had some delivered. I realize this review is almost 1 month after check out, however, I think it's important that future renters be assured these areas have been addressed.

Close to the beach and plenty of space.

Excellent for large group. We had 9 stay!

My family of 10 adults/5 children gathered for our annual family vacation. This particular home looked perfect from the pictures posted but it proved to be very disappointing. Arriving Saturday after a long journey we noticed Black MOLD on the air vents in the living space. Called Carissa and she immediately sent someone over. He assured us it wasn't mold but just from the heat, condensation etc. and he cleaned it. So who knows??? The pool area was wonderful and loved by the children. Although the outside shower was very old, run down and not a place you wanted to take a shower!! The living spaces were large and the living room had been recently updated. The home had many porches but very little porch furniture. Only one outside porch had a table and 4 chairs. So if you like to sit outside in the morning or evening you had to take a chair from dining room out. If you enjoy cooking this is NOT for you!!! While the pictures show a beautiful kitchen it has been very neglected over the years. The appliances look to be about 30 years old. Stove was awful, oven dirty. The kitchen pans were mostly teflon from 20 years ago along with cookie sheets you didn't even want to touch!! It just felt like no one really cared what was there nor had anyone gone through and organized what was usable and toss the rest. Master suite was nice but all the bathrooms are tired and dated. The "Queen" room on the 2nd floor is NOT a bedroom but a storage closet with a bed! No windows, no ventilation, no dresser, a lamp that was ready for the trash and a slanted ceiling that you hit your head on at least once a day. The bedspread in the Jr. king room was dirty and stained. I could go on and on but the bottom line is this place is NOT worth $23,000 for a week. I've stayed in many beach houses and this is one I DO NOT recommend.

The home was beautiful, well maintained. The host was helpful and accommodating. For a mom’s weekend away you can’t beat the location or house. Highly recommended.
