About this property

Ocean-view house with pool, hot tub, game room, balcony, deck, & beach access

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

If you are looking for a vacation home that checks all the boxes, look no further. Dolphin Dreams, conveniently located near shopping and restaurants and an easy walk to the beach, will fill all your needs.

If you'd prefer to have fun on the water rather than in it, book a trip at the nearby fishing charter for a mellow day as you cast a line. The Avon Fishing Pier is also within walking distance for even easier fishing accessibility. Venture a bit farther in either direction to reach parks to explore.

When you come back you'll be greeted by your house's two carports, two outdoor showers (to wash off the beach sand), a basketball hoop, a Stair Tamer luggage lift, two bicycles, a jogging stroller, and a variety of beach toys. A fish cleaning station is also located under the carport if you opted to go on a fishing trip earlier in the day. The home includes its own pool if you want to have fun in the water without the hassle of leaving the house. Or take a soothing soak in your private six-person hot tub, then have a snack or a refreshing drink at the pool-side tropical bar with its own mini-kitchen.

Inside, the large great room has its own 60' TV with surround sound so you can watch your favorite shows with crisp visuals and sound. The living area sports beautiful ocean views and high ceilings, highlighting the spacious interior. Gather everyone in the game room and have some competitive matches on the pool table or choose to play one of a wide variety of games and puzzles while enjoying the mini-kitchen and private deck. When you get hungry, the well-equipped kitchen has its own breakfast bar and large refrigerator, as well as pantry storage if you decide to stock up on groceries. After indulging in a meal with one another, have some quiet conversations together or alone time at the elevated Crow's Nest. Try the work desk where the WiFi is kept in case you feel like catching up on remote work. As the evening winds down, take your pick of six bedrooms, many of which have ocean views, full baths, or both. On the third level, you'll find the primary bedroom with its own private bath and oceanview deck access. All bedrooms also have their own TVs so you can lounge comfortably while viewing. Best of all, this home includes an elevator and a ramp for step-free access, so no one will ever be left out.

One street back from beach and access was easy. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The bedrooms were very tastefully decorated. The pool was probably one of the nicest ever!

Everything We Could Have Hoped For

Wonderful floorplan in this house which allows for ocean views from nearly every room, and separate areas where one can find their own personal private time to read or reflect. Loved the house, and definitely would like to rent again!

Great location. Close to beach. Wished we could have heated the pool. Were told they couldn’t until mid September. Overall good house but would be even better with updates.

Fun in Avon

The location is very close to the beach and not too far from the pier if you prefer to fish from there. The basketball hoop got some use and the access to two bikes was great. The weather kept us from spending time outside, but the decks and outdoor lounge area are nice options, too.

Great vacation home!

This house was wonderful and we enjoyed it very much! Very clean and spacious. The elevator and luggage lift were so nice and made carrying groceries and belongings so much easier. Pool area was nice and the beach was just a short walk. You just have to be careful at the beach access as it was a little steep if you were carrying items. Grocery store and shops were close by. Overall the best house we have ever stayed in Avon. I would definitely recommend.

Surf’s Inn

Over the past ten years, we stayed in this house multiple times and loved each moment. While not ocean front, it does have views of the ocean with easy access. If not enjoying the now replenished beach, lounge at the pool or hot tub. If raining or late, play pool on the upper floor. This house has it all!

Lovely, well appointed home

The house was well equipped and very clean. The open family area was perfect for hanging out together. The kitchen had a wide array of cooking necessities. The pool was another fun place to hang out! On a personal note, I thought the decor of the house was adorable and it had comfortable furniture too!

The Details Count

This house was a great stay for our party of 8. Not only was there plenty of space for gathering, cooking and poolside, there was privacy on decks and the upper room (we called it the therapy room:)). The details are what made it great - elevator and luggage lift, outdoor showers, 1st floor powder room, two conveniently placed wet bars - seemed if you thought of it, it was there.

Surfs Inn is a winner

Clean and comfortable. This house is well kept up and nicely decorated. The kitchen is a bit small for a full house but is well stocked. The driveway is somewhat elevated so it stayed dry not under water during bad weather. Blinds all around keeps the morning sun from overheating the kitchen and living area. Overall a great place to stay.

Nice stay overall. Great location. Hiccups on checkin

The place was very well kept and well laid out. We loved it. The checkin process at 11:30 PM was clunky - the code didn't work. We resolved it over SMS in about 20 minutes but it was a cold 20 minutes in the howling wind.The round table by the pool table was sticky and not wiped down before we checked in - other than that the place was very clean and ready to go. Lovely house. Great location.Thanks.

Awesome rental

Surfs Inn, met all of my families needs. The layout is perfect! 5 out of the 6 bedrooms are on the 2nd floor with most having their own bathroom and outside deck. Private areas inside and out. The 2 spacious outside showers helped with many family members coming off the beach. The highlight for all my children and Grandchildren was the private pool. We all had a great fun filled week! Would definitely stay at SURFS INN again!

The location was amazing, being across the street from the beach was awesome. We were given one large trash bag for the whole day which was unacceptable to us so we had to buy trash bags. We found long dark hairs 8 to 10 inches length of long dark female hair in the following places : the shared bathroom on the second floor in the shower, hair inside of two of the bath towels, and two pieces of long black hairs in the refrigerator that was empty and appeared to be clean until we found the hairs. I would recommend you make sure that your cleaning staff wears their hair back as one of the girls who greeted us when we’re leaving, had long black hair worn completely down. Or pulled back.
