Really beautiful hotel. Wonderful accommodations. The only complaint was with this beautiful oceanfront room that the bed was absolutely horrible. One side of mattress was sunken in and any movement was loud squeaking. For the amount of money per night I would expect top quality for the bed. We could not sleep.

From the moment we checked in, the staff at the Inn of Avila were incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming. They even gave us a short tour, which instantly made us feel comfortable and at home. The little extras truly set this place apart, free coffee available all day, hot chocolate, ice cream, Popsicles, and popcorn whenever you want. In the evening, they surprised us with pie and ice cream, which was such a cozy and thoughtful touch that made the night feel extra special. Breakfast the next morning was served on the sundeck (rooftop) and it was absolutely wonderful. The coffee was perfect and the breakfast itself was fresh, flavorful, and a great way to start the day. The inn has a beautiful old fashioned charm that gives it so much character and warmth, without feeling outdated at all. Overall, this stay felt relaxing, personal, and genuinely special. It did not feel like just another hotel, it felt like a place that truly cares about its guests. We honestly think we just found our new favorite little getaway, and we cannot wait to come back.
