This home has everything you need. Close to town. Very walkable and far enough away to be quiet at night. We walked everywhere, to and from even from the passenger ferry. I would suggest taking an extension cord. Outlets are not in convenient locations (100 yr old house). Also not all doors close/lock. Not an issue for us, but could be for some. Overall we (5 adults) enjoyed our stay very much.

A Birthday in Avalon

We chose this place because of the fireplace. We were disappointed when we got there and realized the fireplace didn’t work. In the photos it showed a working fireplace. The beds were not very comfortable. The carpet didn’t look like it had been cleaned in quite a while. The location was fabulous and the check-in was very simple. One big plus was a very well-stocked kitchen. Having two bathrooms was also an asset.

Most allowed us to check in earlyWhich was nice. My only complaint is that the door knobs kept coming loose especially the one to the restroom. I was locked in there and couldn’t get out until my husband came with some tools to try and fix the doorknob to let me out. The room door knobs had the same issue. The property said it was water friendly to preserve water but the toilet kept running non stop. One of the showers was hard to use because when you turn the knobs no water came out. Location is decent and close to town.

Location was great, home was comfortable and clean. The only 2 issues on the listing is that there was no mention of the fireplace not working as pilot light was not lit and that you would have had to buy wood and starter to warm the place up. The other issue was there was nothing on the listing that said the barbecue was not propane and one would have to buy briquettes and starter fluid.Veronica the contact was very responsive to my texts if we had questions.

Nice house inside. Bathrooms very nice! Kitchen great, but dishwasher handle missing so very dangerous to turn on and off! Lamp in living room didn’t’ Work, so couldn’t read. Overheads were like flashlights in your eyes. Nice variety of cooking utensils, but no pancake griddle. Outdoor BBQ was very old and grill couldn’t be cleaned. Bench, planters, shrubs all needed care and weeding. Broken door in the laundry room. Very comfortable and spacious bedrooms, dining room , and island!

Great property, great location and great value

House was perfect! Cozy and quaint, 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms made this the perfect fit for 3 adult couples. Didn’t need to bring a single kitchen item as this house is fully stocked. Great location and close to the grocery store for any items. Close proximity to everything fun. Highly recommend this house.

Short stay at this place

All was well except the carpet in living room and beds. Carpet in the livingroom is very dirty that my baby’s outfit got so dirty while playing in livingroom. My baby even got sick. Even we adults walking in there without shoes n socks our feet got so dirty. Carpet needs to be replaced. Livingroom is not as big as shown in picture on the site. Beds were small and not cozy. Besides, everything was nice.
