Beach tranquility that your family can afford.

Very nice location and apartment. Everything we could need was there from stove, fridge, coffee maker "filters too" , washer, dryer, and etc... I loved the balcony and the ocean view from the bedroom.

My only one complaint is the water heater, or control there of. It took approx 4 mins to get the hot water going out the shower. Then you had to back it down. So it has good heated water, just don't be in a hurry to jump in the shower.

Avari response:

Thank you, John, for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful location and found the apartment well-equipped for your family's needs. The ocean view from the balcony is indeed a special treat, and we're glad it added to your stay.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the hot water. We understand how important it is to have a quick and comfortable shower, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience this caused. We’ll definitely look into this to ensure a smoother experience for future guests.

We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing getaway by the beach. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we’re here to make your next stay even better.
