Great stay overall, clean and well managed. Easy to get towels and beach equipment as needed. The pool is pretty small and not ocean side, for those reasons we didn't use it.
The property is fairly new and you can tell they stay on top of repairs (the hallway smelled like fresh paint when we arrived). The unit was clean. It didn't have any extras you might find in a typical VRBO rental (like a beach cooler etc.) but that was balanced by unlimited beach towels, beach chairs & umbrellas along with some sand toys. The rooftop pool is small but great, especially if you have smaller kiddos who can't take the waves all day. The downsides to being a new property is that a few things are lacking. Our unit had huge closets but only 6 hangers. There was also no hooks to hang wet swimsuits and a single rod to hang bath towels (the rod only fits one towel). The TV is limited to Netflix, Disney or Cable. Since it's a smart TV having more streaming options (or even the top 10 most popular like Apple, HBO, Hulu, etc) would have been nice. Would we stay here again? Absolutely. The location is fantastic. Literal steps off the beach and steps off the main drag. We didn't need a car except to get to the island.
The room was great and very clean. The staff was so friendly and did everything to make sure our stay was good. We will definitely being staying again!
We had 6 people staying at the condo for 4 days. We booked a 2 bedroom condo with 2 king bedrooms and a sofa sleeper. The layout was awesome. The main bedroom was very large, with huge bathroom, and door to the balcony. The girls room was on the other side of the condo. It was spacious, with a full bathroom, and was next to the half bath. The main space was perfect for our weekend! The island was huge, with 5 bar stools. We used it as a buffet for snacks, breakfast items etc. There was a dining table for 6, which the girls claimed for meals & games! We had a lot of rain, so this was perfect for all the cards and board games they brought. The living room area had a nice big tv and enough room for 3 to watch movies. It really was a comfortable unit. When we went to our room, we barely heard the girls in the living area. The location was great for walking to restaurants and there is a Speedway gas station/convenience store a block over for picking up snacks, sodas, etc (tho you will pay for convenience!!) The beach was wonderful...and that is what you're there for! The property lets you check out beach chairs/umbrellas, which my husband and I did daily. They also check out towels for the beach and pool use. I'll admit, I like a chaise so I can lay on my stomach, but these were convenient.The only negative was lack of "on-property" parking. We needed two spots, which luckily they were able to give on our 2nd day. Other parking is 3.50/hr, which is EXPENSIVE!
The condo had all we needed and was very clean. The staffed desk was very responsive.We had a great time and enjoyed (and appreciated ) that chairs and umbrellas were available. We hope to return!
Thank you for another great stay! We always appreciate the friendly staff, great accommodations, and proximity to the beach, restaurants and more. Stay once and youâll become a regular. Weâre already looking forward to our next visit!
Really great. Terrific view of the Gulf and unitWas spacious had all we needed. No complaints.Easy walking distance to everything and to the beach! Very clean.
Just myself & a friend for a short beach trip before going to Moffitt Cancer center for my 10 year checkup. Which btw was great! The location was ideal
The Avalon was the perfect place for our first vacation attempt as new parents. It had all the accomodations and conveniences we needed. We loved waking up to the ocean views and enjoying the amazing sunsets every day. The location is minutes away from everything you want to walk to but also quiet enough to relax and enjoy your balcony overlooking the ocean. Staff was responsive, polite and professional with everything we needed. Super clean property that is well maintained. We hope to be back!
The condo was very neat and clean. Check-in/Check-out process was a breeze and the staff couldnât have been nicer & more accommodating. Our 2BR condo had 2 king beds which was nice since there were 2 couples sharing the condo. The condo was walking distance to great restaurants/shops. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.
Highly recommend this condo/the Avalon! Check-in process was a breeze. Great amenities. Very clean building/premises. The condo was beautiful, extremely clean and spacious! The only con would be the size of the pool. Very small with only a handful of lounge chairs. Other than that, everything was top notch!
Has to be the CLEANEST and FRIENDLIEST place we have stayed at in a while. Will be coming back to AVALON FOR SURE !!!! Front Desk went ABOVE & Beyond to help you with anything.
