This is a great beach house for large groups. We would definitely stay there again without hesitation. The front patio was delightful. We shared many a card game and a meal around the table.

Great family home
This home worked well for our family of all ages. Comfortable, clean and all one level. We loved the patio and the location. The property manager responded quickly when we had a clogged drain. We had a wonderful week.

September get away
A great weekend with family. Creating new memories and new stories to tell. This property had beach toys the kids were able to use and the laundry with supplies was convenient for cleaning up.

Our stay at Avalon Ct.
Fourteen of us had a happy 4 night stay. Loved the proximity to the beach, the bay, and Belmont Park. The houses were well furnished with all that we needed. We really enjoyed the flexibility of being together on the porch, in the larger living room, at the outdoor table. The only challenge was the parking. We had three cars. The smaller SUV fit fine. The other two were bigger vans which barely fit the assigned spaces.

Location is Perfection!
We absolutely loved our stay! This property is awesome for groups! We had extended family together and it allowed us all to be together and still have our own space. We appreciated that there were beach chairs, towels, and toys to take to the water. The abundance of seating outside on the patio was great too! Let's not forget that the beds are comfy...a major plus!
Everything is so close! A short walk one direction you are to the ocean (I feel like it looks further in the pictures for some reason). A short walk the other you reach the bay! If you decide to walk street side Lazy Eye Coffee is right there and they have incredible coffee! You can also walk to Belmont Park in less than 10 minutes!
The only thing we could've asked for would be larger pots/pans/baking sheets to accommodate larger groups, but we were able to do just fine without them. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

Family Vacation
Having the 2 separate units and a shared back patio space was ideal for a combined family vacation. The location of this property is amazing and is just a couple of minutes walk to the Beach. The kids loved walking the Boardwalk to the Belmont Amusement Park which was close by. All the beds were very comfortable and the unit was stocked with basics. One thing that would have been nice to have is a broom in the units. With being so close to the beach there was a lot of sand around the deck and patio area but the location was awesome!

Stay
Everything was great. Both places were comfortable and clean. We purchased a broom so we could sweep the outside and indoors as we did not find one in either one. We like to keep things clean during and when we leave. Thank you for allowing us to rent it and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful family vacation.
The property location was great. Close to the beach. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate by being cool and rainy, it was a wonderful time.
