Excellent as always!

Every time we visit the island this is the only place we will stay, the people that run this place are absolutely amazing and are so helpful every time. It’s in a great location away from the downtown area which we like, the golf cart is always a bonus and we love the fact that we get a balcony, barbecue and a full kitchen. The hotel rooms are beautiful but they are too small and twice the price.

Our property manager was very helpful and we had great contact with her throughout the stay. Upon entering, the stuffiness was prominent. The unit could use a deep cleaning, for instance, (drawers in bathroom vanity) and some paint. The furniture could be updated as well, including the mattress.

Great, quiet place to stay in Avalon with bonus Golf Cart

We really enjoyed our stay. Mr Hunt was very welcoming and explained the entire process. The use of the Golf Cart let us explore the entire city limits and make the most of our time here in Avalon. We will definitely stay again! Thank you Mr. Hunt! For those reviews complaining about the unit being dated, yes, it's dated, however, the place is very clean, maintained, and the price was perfect for our budget. That's what matters to us. Thanks again!

Birthday Getaway

This condo could for sure use some updating! The pool and jacuzzi were empty (bummer). That being said, it was clean and the bed was comfy. That was really all that mattered to us as we pretty much only slept there - out by 8:00 am and didn't get back until 10:00 pm to go to bed. The golf card was an added bonus (even though it was a bit sketchy and loud - it got us where we needed to go) and we loved driving around the area to check out the island :) Also, the property manager Allison was so sweet, accommodating and helpful!

As for the pool and jacuzzi, we would love to have it working but we have no control over those two items. We were able to install a brand new muffler on our golf cart so it is quiet now. We just installed a new large screen tv, new flooring, a new stove and above the range microwave, and all new paint, so it will be a while before we do more updating.

Golf cart makes this worthwhile

On the good side, the unit was very clean, and having a golf cart included in the stay was a very big plus. It also came with a rollaway bed which was nice. The condo complex, while old, is pretty well kept, with a clean pool and well-swept walkways. The location is also good, being quite walkable to town. The downside is that everything was very old and worn out in this unit. It felt like visiting great-grandma’s house. The tub even has those non-stick flower things circa 1972. The arms are nearly falling off the recliner and the pull out sofa is like a torture rack. As long as you know what you’re getting, it’s fine. And let’s face it, it’s like the 2nd cheapest place on VRBO so you get what you get.

At the last minute the party decided they have an extra person which we needed to accommodate. We did our best to make things work. Everything in our Condo works well because we are constantly replacing or repairing anything that fails. We have flower non skid pads in the bathtub to prevent falls for seniors and not for aesthetic purposes. The Jennifer's Convertible sofa is a sofa bed in great shape but not comparable to a permanent bed. The recliner does not have arms that are falling off but it is on our list for the next item to be replaced. We offer a great Condo in Avalon, close to all with a cart to drive at a reasonable price.

Good Value, Limited Amenities

We just recently rented this condo in Avalon for our short vacation. The condo was a great value, especially since it included a Golf Cart, allowed for early check-in and late check-out, however, It is very outdated – straight out of the 70’s. The extra blankets provided had holes all through them, the pillows were flat, the pull out couch was extremely uncomfortable (old and well used), the mattress on the bed needs to be replaced, and there were no beach towels provided. The condo association pool was out of commission for 1 ½ days while we were there, it was extremely cold, and the spa was not heated at all. When vacating the condo, we left it in good condition – put everything back in its place, stripped the beds/linens and placed them in a big pile, took all of the trash out, washed our dishes and put them away, cleaned out the refrigerator, parked the golf cart at the Blue Dolphin and walked back to the Pier to catch the Catalina Flyer. Just $1,000 in upgrades would do this condo justice and would make me want to rent this condo again for another trip. Please consider basic upgrades!
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr 2020
Our Condo is right out of the 80"s. When we bought it 15 years ago, it looked very familiar. On closer inspection, we found that we had stayed in our unit in 1984 while on vacation when it was new. We have stayed with the 80's theme since it brings back great memories. Everything in our place, as you can see from the pictures, is in great condition, restored and working fine. It goes along with the entire theme of the island, keeping things great and just as they once were. We have a terrific cleaning service which cleans our place after each party leaves, so there is no need to strip the beds, clean the refrigerator, etc. We have a great dishwasher and a two year old Jennifer's Convertible Sofa Sleeper if you have a party of four. The cleaning ladies will take care of any worn linen items and remove them from circulation since blankets, comforters and sheets are cleaned and rotated throughout several units. They have also exchanged the pillows and addressed the mattress. The pool and jacuzzi are heated on the weekends and not weekdays during Winter months. In May they are heated daily throughout the summer months. Water, power, and landfill space are an extremely valuable commodities on the island and must be conserved. Our toilets and some outdoor faucets operate on saltwater to conserve fresh water. We could spend lots of money on barging over new appliances and new furniture, but we have opted to supply our vacationers with the luxury of driving around our street licensed golf cart and free gas. This allows people to visit, stay in an nice spacious home, and have transporation to see island sights at a most reasonable price. The majority of our people who stay with us are more than happy with our "retro" decor and transportation provided since golf carts rent by the hour at a premium price. As you can see from our calendar, we are extremely busy and thrive on returning vacationers.

Adequate

Overall, the condo was adequate. Very average. It certainly looked nicer in the pictures online. Kitchen very outdated. There is microwave above the cook top that does not work. Rather than replacing it, there is now a microwave on the counter. The bed was comfortable. The towels in the bathroom were really cheap. The bathroom could have been cleaned better. The TV's were tiny. There was also no Wifi, which is ridiculous in 2019. The golf cart is stored a 1-2 minute walk away. It is parked in a very tight spot to get in and out of. The golf cart was also very dirty. There was a bunch of garbage and other crap in the front. That's inexcusable. I needed the golf cart for the wedding I was attending to help with logistics. Otherwise, a hotel would be a better and probably cheaper option. It is a very reasonable walk to downtown Avalon. It was also quiet save when kids were using the pool. There are multiple steps to navigate so someone who has trouble with steps or carrying things up and down steps should not rent this unit.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr 2020
Having the microwave on the counter doesn't seem to be a problem since most microwaves are located there. The parking space for the golf cart is in a fenced area where it cannot be seen and a 1 to 2 minute walk is not excessive. When attending a special event it would be wise to wipe down the cart before attending it since the previous visitor may have been enjoying the backroads of Avalon. We have a person who cleans the cart but he is not able to clean it after every single traveler. Whatever items the residents place in front of the golf cart is up to them since we do not own that property and just rent the parking space. The golf cart doesn't even mind having items in front of it. The bathroom towels are supplied by a service so sometimes they are thick and sometimes they are thinner. The bathroom and kitchen are always cleaned after each set of visitors so they are left spotless with new towels, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. We have experienced some problems with our cable so as soon as we are able to make sure everything is good we will be installing wi-fi. The pictures of the interior of our condo are exactly as it is. None of the pictures have been enhanced. The traveler neglected to mention that he was shuttled to the golf cart by the manager to avoid walking and helped with directions to our condo. Also to avoid the steps he could have used the elevator.

Inexpensive, but could use some TLC

My husband and I stayed at the condo while attending a family wedding on the island. We were able to check in early, which was nice. When we arrived we learned that the golf cart that is included in the rental was out of service. The realtor rented us one for our stay. It was a true Rent-A-Wreck golf cart. It was filthy (he didn't clean out the trash that previous users left in the cart) and was extremely loud. We could have been cited for breaking the noise ordinance! While it got us around, it wasn't suitable to tour the island like we wanted. The actual condo was fine, nothing fancy or new here. Everything was just okay. I agree with previous reviewers -- a little bit of work would go a long way here. We were only in the unit to sleep and shower, so the decor didn't bother us. However, it would have been nice for a few things to be just a little better. The tiny, threadbare towels are cheap. A full bar of soap would go a long way. I understand that getting things to/from the island isn't easy, but just upping your standard for the basics would make this place great.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr 2020
We are sorry our golf cart is out of service but it is being repaired. We supplied a cart as our title states and should not be held responsible for the condition of the loaner which we have no control over. The towels in our unit are supplied by a service which changes all the linens so I will ask them to make sure the towels are in good shape. The cleaning service also supplies the soap which is the same bars that they supply to the hotels. In 15 years of service we have never had anyone comment about the soap or towels so we will take that into consideration.

Awesome Immenities.

My 79 year old dad, sister and I went to the condo. Having the cart made all the difference in the world! It was so helpful with my dad, who sometimes uses a wheelchair. Brian the owner, had restaurant and entertainment suggestions. And.. answered every question including, where to leave the luggage.
