We were so excited about returning to Avalon this summer and introducing our grandchildren to the Jersey shore. The location on one end of the boardwalk was lovely and so convenient. Clearly, however, there were issues with maintenance of the house before we arrived. When we got there, the inside temp was 86 degrees on the 3rd floor and we could hear water running. We found water leaking from the kitchen faucet, running over the counter toward the stove, dripping down from the sink through the floor and into the bedroom closet below (unusable) A section of the ceiling in the closet was on the floor. It was obvious that it had been taped to the ceiling before. I called the owner to report this and she kept saying she couldn’t understand how that happened, as she had just been there. A plumber came out the next morning (he fixed a “significant leak”) but in the meantime there was a mess in the kitchen and BR. There was animal hair on the 3rd floor sofas and a wet mat in the bathroom. We brought our own bed linens, but several pillows and some of the bedding were stained. Floors were dirty. Hsekeeping returned. On Wed of our week we noticed a burning smell in the kitchen. Hot tiles surrounded an outlet. We called the property manager and emphasized the unsafe/emergency nature of the problem. When an electrician came at 10 pm, the outlet in question was too hot to touch and had burned up inside. The owner offered to adjust my rent- but it seemed inadequate. This house needs work.

Amazing house! Amazing host! The house is large and rooms spacious!!! Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms! Wonderful view! Loved everything about it! Great spot! We will be back! Jody Rollins

This was my first VRBO experience, and I couldn't have hoped for a better one. The location is ideal, the house was nicely furnished in a way that was both attractive and comfortable, and the layout--with a living area and bedrooms on all three floors meant that even with 16 people, those in search of a secluded nook for some quiet time could always find it. The proprietor was so friendly and accommodating and promptly answered any questions. The beach access was unbeatable. My family had an amazing week in this lovely house.

Loved the multiple living levels. A few of the guests had to work remotely and the set up was perfect. The location was awesome so that some of us that flew in from out of town could easily get around town. I am hoping to return in the future.

Enjoyed our stay, however it could use a few updates and there was a couple of things that I let the host know. Overall we had a good experience here.

Everything about the house was perfect for our family of 11, ranging in age from 7-78. We hope to stay at this beautiful home again.

The location cannot be beat. We sat out and listened to the waves and watched the stars at night - just wonderful! We easily accommodated our large family and with little kids it was great to get back and forth to the beach. When you're at the beach, location is everything and this location can't be beat. We loved it and had a great time.

Great house, great location! Lots space and places to gather. Loved the 2nd floor deck and the ocean view. Great time walking the boardwalk.
