Avalon BEACH BLOCK 2 Bedroom Condo with POOL West Unit / Sleeps 4

Expedia did not make clear the stipulation the property owners had for full week rentals. It permitted booking for less than a full week. This is a sublisting from VRBO. The pricing is clearly both for location and time of year, as well as use of pool. In terms of the actual facilities they are average. Ex: neither bedroom even has closet doors. Caulking was coming off of the faucet in the tub and they're sub-stocked in terms of kitchen supplies (which, in all fairness, they warn you of, but only 24 hours in advance). In terms of communication they are excellent. The property manager made sure we were all settled and the check in process was seamless. The location is top notch (one block from beach, right across from public parking and close to arcade and coffee shop). I would suggest that the owners include in the check in guide how to change the thermostat (they were kind enough to include a link to a how to on the door lock) because it wasn't incredibly intuitive and we froze until we figured it out. (Yes I realize we could have just contacted the property manager but vacationing with a toddler has its way of appropriating your attentions).

There was a tiny glitch at check in and the owner was very responsive and quickly helped resolve our issue. The property was lovely and perfect for our needs. We were very comfortable there. Highly recommend

It was great!

This property provides what any traveler is seeking: simplicity. Located steps from the beach, quiet and residential, but with beach amenities at your doorstep. Property is very clean. The communication with the Host is flawless. We look forward to staying here again.

The location of this property is perfect! Super short walk to the beach and ideally located within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. It was very clean and the kitchen and bath were updated. The property manager was very responsive to our questions. We'll be back!

Location great with nice pool. Facilities very clean except for grill. Bedrooms need curtains or heavier blinds to block light from street lights and adjacent homes. I would stay there again without a second thought

Location is nice, near the beach and restaurants/shops. Owners could make this a nice place with a little TLC and updating. Very bare bones. No trash can in the kitchen, no hangers in the closets, absolutely nothing supplied (you must bring everything hand soap, dish soap, Tp, trash bags, hand towels, linens, towels, etc). For the price, the least they could do is have a few things for guest traveling in to get started. I brought my own comforter/blanket as well as linens/towels (they don’t supply) and I’m very glad I brought my own comforter. The owners need to throw their comforters out, absolutely gross, stains, blood etc on them (don’t believe they’ve ever been washed). I wouldn’t sit on them fully clothed. I left coat hangers and extra cleaning supplies, dish soap, some trash bags, etc behind, so maybe the next guest will have those to start. The property needs some maintenance.

Property was as described, great location, pool was great. I would definitely stay here again!

Not happy with the mold/mildew in the bathroom also not happy with having to supply my own linens. I traveled from California and to supply my own linens I thought was ridiculous. I have stayed in VRBO properties in California during the COVID-19 pandemic and did not have to supply my own linens. Overall I was not happy with the amount I paid for what I got.

Great amazing location. Dogs allowed big plus. Pool was great. First vRBO where I had to bring towels bedding soap etc. dog hair all over sofa Had to clean before I left too many rules for a sub par place although location was great

Clean, comfortable, short walk to beach. Kitchen was nice size.. Missing a vegetable peeler for the kitchen. Comfortable bed.
