Melissa

September 2026

Great amenities close to the beach clean updated nice bathrooms nice kitchen everything was perfect except not having coffee or tea at hand for the guests. You provided a Keurig however no pods for it and the site does not let you know to bring your own coffee and tea.

Avari response:

We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the great amenities and found everything clean and updated during your stay, Melissa. It sounds like you made the most of the nice kitchen and bathrooms, which is wonderful! We appreciate your feedback about the coffee situation. While we do provide a Keurig, we understand how having coffee or tea pods on hand would enhance the experience. We’ll make sure to clarify that in our listing so future guests are better prepared. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back for another perfect stay soon!

It was clean, convenient to the beach and shopping areas. The internet was excellent.

The icemaker in the fridge produced ice but wouldn't dispense.

Avari response:

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Paula. We’re so glad to hear that you found the home clean and conveniently located near the beach and shopping. It’s great to know the internet met your needs as well.

We truly appreciate your feedback about the icemaker. That shouldn’t have happened, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience it caused during your stay. We’ll make sure our local team addresses this issue promptly to ensure future guests have a seamless experience.

We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back for another stay, where we can provide the comfort and ease you deserve.
