Beach Trip

A great place to head back to after a fun day at the beach! The crows nest is roomy and offers a nice view. The screened porch was perfect for our morning coffee hour. The only hang-up is the two back burners on the stove do not seem to work, so plan on easy meals or eating out at the many restaurants in Avon!

Nice clean home with the essentials

Home is conveniently located in Avon. Kitchen was nice with everything we needed for the week. It was also nice to have some starter supplies (toilet paper, soap, etc.) already in the bathrooms when we got to the house. The furniture is nice, but I would just note that you'll probably be uncomfortable if you prefer to sit on something more plush. Laundry setup is good. Biggest reason for a 4-star rating rather than 5-stars is that one of the bunk beds had a broken ladder which could have been dangerous had we not noticed before any of the kids tried to climb up. To Vacasa's credit, we contacted them about this and they would have sent someone out while we were there to address the issue had we needed them to (we didn't, as we only needed to use 3 of the 4 bunks). There was also a nail sticking out of one of the feet on the dining room table which one of us scraped our foot on. Lastly, I would say it oversells the crow's nest a little bit to boast about the ocean views. The crow's nest is a nice place to go up and look up at the stars at night and hear the ocean off in the distance, or maybe to read a book. But there isn't much ocean to see from there, just a greatly limited view of what you can see of it between houses. I'm not meaning to focus more on negatives than positives, though. Overall we really enjoyed the house, and assuming that the couple of small maintenance things are addressed we would consider staying in it again if we returned to Avon on a future vacation.

The home was okay.

Our stay did not start good. The code to the home did not work. Then once in the microwave was dirty. The cog foot was not clean. The floor was not swept or mopped. The shower curtain was filthy. The carpets had not been vacuumed. The shower head outside was rusted. The bedspread smelled of cigarette smoking. We called and everything was fixed the next day.

The house is close to the beach aaccess. It is older, so if you're looking for updates this isn't the place for you. It met our needs just fine.

Enjoyable Stay

Other than the weather, our trip was enjoyable. The Drift Inn is quaint and cozy. Enjoyed a good read on the screened deck while it rained was relaxing and comfortable. The only real issue is that the home is surrounded by overgrown trees (hard to get that Ocean View) and covered... I mean COVERED, in Poison Ivy. Also, the "fish cleaning" area could be tidied up.... the last people who stayed there, put their fish mess in the trash can but never took it to the road to be picked up so we smelled dead fish until we realized where it came from. Other than that, very accomodating.
