Best vacation yet!

The house mouse was everything we expected.. and even more, but what made the stay even more enjoyable is the communication with the owners, knowing they were right there for any questions or concerns. Also, with hurricane Debby trying to come through, the owners made sure we were safe, and had additional help if needed. Most certainly a 5 star rating! We will be back!

Avon Calling!

Sweet Em-Ocean is a light, spacious property located close to the beach. We spent at least half of every day at the beach and the waves were so fun! The top floor of the house-where the kitchen and living room are, is flanked by three balconies so you feel like you’re on top of the world! The beds were clean and comfortable and everything was in good working order. Beware of the fridge door, however. It’s low to the floor and we all scraped the tops of our feet at least once! Would definitely return to Avon and Sweet Em-Ocean!

Great neighborhood

This home was perfect for our family of four and dog. It is located in a private, quiet neighborhood on the sound side but still within a short walking distance to the beach. It has a unique reverse floor plan with everything you need for a great vacation. The owner is super friendly and responsive.

Stay at sweet em ocean

We had a nice vacation here! Loved that the beach was right across the street. Avon is a nice town the beach was our favorite part even saw some dolphins and loved collecting shells on the beach and the bridge to get to the beach got to see a few turtles.The outdoor decks were nice to sit outside and relax and could see the ocean from a couple decks. My teenage kids loved that an ice cream truck came through the neighborhood every day. Hosts were very responsive. Thank you for stay!

Location location location

This place had it all! The location was great. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. It was a short walk to the beach but get the 4x4 pass because there are a lot of beach access ramps to choone from. We mostly went to ramp 44 because at the point there were lots of shells and we could watch people fish. We saw dolphins, turtles, and spinner sharks jumping completely out of the water. The owners were helpful with any questions we had. The place was very clean and comfortable. We saw many shooting stars right from the back deck. I would highly recommend this rental

Nice Family Vacation

Had minor issues which were addressed as soon as I reached out. The house was as nice as pictured. Not quite as close to the beach as we though but close enough. The bridge on the path to the beach had TONS of turtles which we all enjoyed watching them swarm when they saw people. Overall happy with stay!
