October break with kids

My two grand nieces are off on fall break. This rental is so close to the main beach front restaurants and shops and beach. The unit was equipped with garbage bags, clothes soap, dishwasher soap, misc kitchen needs that is so convenient when staying for a short week. Even bath soap and shampoo. We had a few needs that when inquiring to the management staff, they responded immediately.

Very Nice Unit and Great Location but Too Noisy

The unit was very nice and very clean, and the location was convenient right in the heart of the town. But the alley in the back was loud every morning and evening.

Wonderful beach home

Great getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is amazing and close to the beach and downtown Avila. Additional amenities included hair dryers, TP, and a really fully stocked kitchen with great appliances as well as a pack and play in the master bedroom. The unit is spacious. The master bedroom is large. The other two bedrooms are great more for kids. The other two bedrooms do face the back alley of Mr. Rick’s and The Custom House. This is loud at closing when they are cleaning, but after that it is quiet. Seven Sisters was very accommodating and had loaner beach towels and some beach toys like shovels and buckets. We had a fun family reunion and will look to stay there again.

Wonderful Place

This property was just what we needed for a kickoff-to-summer beach getaway. We love the location (just a block from the beach), the beautiful courtyard entrance, and the clean, spacious, and well-decorated rooms. The property managers were also very understanding when we needed an extra hour to check-out due to my dad getting into a bike accident. The only thing we'd recommend is turning on the filtered water to the fridge and having the ice trays filled and ready so you can have an ice cold glass of water.
