The unit was very nice and very clean, and the location was convenient right in the heart of the town. But the alley in the back was loud every morning and evening.

If you’re looking for a place walking distance to the beach this is it! The place is centrally located and very clean. Parking garage is a huge plus. Only note, two of the rooms backup to the back alley of Custom House so it’s quite noisy at night and early morning because of staff prepping for the day.

This condo is in a great location and super cute. There isn’t a view but it’s decorated nicely and it’s super close to the beach, restaurants and stores. Easy parking. We had a great stay.

Clean and photographed well, but it was a shoe box overlooking garbage bins in the back of a restaurant. Value was not worth the stay.

Reviewer Comments:
Rental was very clean and comfortable. Would like instruction on how to use the tv's since we are not used to Ruku and steaming devices. In the paperwork that was sent it mentioned that beach towels were available on a first come basis. When we requested several beach towels they were all out. Several units were given at 6 towels. Suggestion would be to give less towels to units so that all units would be able to get at least 2-3 towels or purchase more towels and charge rentals for missing towels. Beach towels are cumbersome to take when traveling with food,kids and other vacation items.

This place was so charming and in the perfect location to enjoy Avila Beach. Walking distance to all the restaurants and shops.
The house was spacious and comfortable. Great for our family of 4 + Grandma. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great get away in Avila.
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay. The property is amazing and close to the beach and downtown Avila. Additional amenities included hair dryers, TP, and a really fully stocked kitchen with great appliances as well as a pack and play in the master bedroom. The unit is spacious. The master bedroom is large. The other two bedrooms are great more for kids. The other two bedrooms do face the back alley of Mr. Rick’s and The Custom House. This is loud at closing when they are cleaning, but after that it is quiet. Seven Sisters was very accommodating and had loaner beach towels and some beach toys like shovels and buckets. We had a fun family reunion and will look to stay there again.

Stayed at Sandcastle for Cal Poly grad weekend. Close enough to campus for events, far enough not to get caught up in crowds. Condo was clean and generally quiet, except for some rowdier guests next door. Complex backs up to Mission Pizza and Custom House restaurants, so really convenient for dining and walking the beach. Parking is also a major plus, as Avila gets crowded during the day on weekends. No ocean or mountain views from the condo, and the back bedrooms can get dark. Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and nice. Otherwise nicely appointed for meals and get togethers.

The location was fabulous - right behind the restaurants on Front Street, just steps from the beach. Our trip happened to be at the coldest point in the winter. I would recommend that fellow winter travelers pack slippers as the tile floors are very cold and shoes are not allowed in the house. With slippers packed for our next trip, I would definitely rent this condo again. The dining area was a good space for everyone to sit and enjoy meals together. The gas fireplace and comfortable couch were thoroughly enjoyed by all.

We were booked to spend a glorious 3 day weekend with my two best friends in Avila at one of their units. Tragically, one of the two friends was hospitalized about 10 days before the trip. Being that she was in ICU, I knew things were bad and the trip was doomed. I spoke with Kathleen and she was so kind and supportive. Terri responded by email and was also kind and accommodating.Our dear friend ended up dying about a week after the trip was scheduled to begin. We had trip insurance through Seven Sisters and I am now jumping through all of those hoops to recover the money. They use Generali/CSA which has been less than helpful and accommodating. Going back, I should've declined the insurance and purchased travel insurance separately through companies we've booked insurance with in the past. In times like these, you hope that these insurance companies will do the right thing, but I am going to have to work for it. Overall, Seven Sisters was kind and accommodating during a very painful time for us.The star ratings in my review wouldn't let me select n/a, so obviously, those aren't applicable as we never got to stay. Thank you!

We loved our stay here. The location wasexcellent, just off the street, and so close tothe beach and restaurants. Highly recommendMission Pizza next door. Loved the gated, quietcourtyard. I felt safe letting my oldestdaughter open the door and walk out while wewere getting ready to head out the door. Allthe bedrooms are upstairs which was perfectfor our family. My only complaint was that theback two bedrooms got pretty hot even withthe window open frequently and fan on. Buteverything else was perfect. Kitchenamenities, cleanliness, layout, location. Loved it all!

Wonderful Place
This property was just what we needed for a kickoff-to-summer beach getaway. We love the location (just a block from the beach), the beautiful courtyard entrance, and the clean, spacious, and well-decorated rooms. The property managers were also very understanding when we needed an extra hour to check-out due to my dad getting into a bike accident. The only thing we'd recommend is turning on the filtered water to the fridge and having the ice trays filled and ready so you can have an ice cold glass of water.
