Anonymous Review from Vrbo / Expedia

June 2026

Our stay here was pretty good! Honestly, the highlight of this place is the pool. It was the perfect size for the whole house to enjoy. It was super clean! Especially with having bad weather the week we visited, it was a great advantage. The location to the beach was also super ideal. It’s a quick, easy walk to the beach. The beach is not crowded at all. The house itself was a bit run down and not super cleanly. It definitely was not awful. We just had to pick up a bit, especially outside when we first arrived. The furniture is not the most comfortable. However, it still met our needs. With some TLC, I think this would be the perfect beach rental location.

Avari response:

Thank you, Racheal, for sharing your thoughts about your stay with us. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the pool and found it to be a highlight, especially during the less-than-ideal weather. It’s great to know that the location made it easy for you to access the beach and that you appreciated the cleanliness of the pool area.

We genuinely appreciate your feedback regarding the house itself. We strive to maintain our properties to high standards, and it sounds like we fell short in some areas during your visit. We take your comments about the cleanliness and comfort of the furniture seriously, and we will certainly address these concerns to ensure a better experience for future guests.

Your insights are invaluable as we work to enhance our properties, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future. With a little TLC, we’re committed to making this a perfect beach rental for everyone.

Overall we had a great stay. We rented both the East and West sides for our group of 13 (including 3 kids), and the layout worked really well for us. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, which made it very comfortable for a larger group. The kids especially loved the bunk beds.

We did have a small issue at check-in because we didn’t initially receive the lock codes, and when they were sent they were incorrect. After calling the management team it took about two hours to resolve, but Mike from the management team was extremely helpful and had fantastic customer service while getting everything sorted out.

The location was great for our trip. While there are a couple of homes in front of the property that block part of the ocean view, you can still catch glimpses of the water and the beach is just a short walk away. The beach access was one of our favorite parts because it felt quiet and secluded—we often felt like we had the beach almost entirely to ourselves.

My family enjoyed the vacation only problem we had was getting into the condo. I would recommend that the keypad access need to be updated.
