High School Girls Week

We had a wonderful relaxing time. Loved that the house was ON the beach, we spent a lot of time walking the beach. We had 6 people and there was plenty of room inside and out on the deck. Good amenities too. We explored the area, found many great restaurants (ate seafood everyday!), awesome coffee shops and endless areas to visit. Property would be great for families too.

As a group of tight knit pals who love to surf fish, we don't need much...but Tony and Co. saw to it that all our needs were met. House is great, views are fantastic, location is stellar. We hope use Diamond Shells again.

Relaxing and comfortable stay-

Property has a great view. Quiet neighborhood is just what we were looking for! The decking looked new and everything was solid even in the wind. The host was very responsive when we ran into a little problem with technology. The only recommendation I could make would be when you're ready to replace the deck furniture, get something higher so you can see over the railing and enjoy the ocean view in its.emtireity. more c more.complet

perfect for family vacation

We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our yearly trip to Avon. The home was clean, well stocked with basic needs (hangers, kitchen supplies, toilet paper, linens, pillows), and provided quiet and relaxing beach days. The walking path through the dunes to the sand was a bit brutal but nothing we couldn’t handle. The host was easy to communicate with and helped resolve a minor cable issue quickly. The view from the back deck can’t be beat. We would definitely stay again.

Relaxation

The house was great for our group of 7. It was very clean. The owner was great about communicating with us. There are lots of stairs and climbing the dunes to the beach aren’t for the faint of heart, but the beach was almost always quiet and serene. We loved our stay and would definitely come back.

Thanksgiving 2024

The property was beautiful and big enough for 9 people (7 adults and 2 children). The kitchen it well stocked. We were excited to see the toaster over and multiple 12cup coffee pots. We didn't use the dishwasher because we used more paper products. We did notice the kitchen sink cabinet had water in it and the owner was quick to respond about having it corrected. We would stay again!

Perfect location in Avon

The property was wonderful! Tony was easily available if needed; however, we had no concerns or issues. The kitchen was well appointed. The frying pans looked new. The beds were very comfortable. The house was clean and there was a garden hose and outside shower available to wash off sand. A Foodlion, Ace Hardware, and Duck Donuts was just down the street. We were also very close to a BP Gas Station. It was nice to be so close to gas and groceries since we were so far south. We loved Avon. The beach and community was so inviting!
