Susan and Tim: Consistently fantastic guests! Another 5 stars for them, We are incredibly grateful that they chose us for a second visit and we are also grateful we'll host them again next year. They took GREAT care of our home away home. Once again they left the unit sparkling clean for future guests. We do not get to meet our guests always, but we briefly interacted this time and their kindness and friendliness are commendable. They will be forever most welcomed!
First of all we must acknowledge our wonderful hosts “Miss Carmen Sturzu and her husband Alex”……their main concern, for the 3 times we have dealt with them, has ALWAYS been our needs and whatever it was that assured us the best our vacation could be……and we appreciated that very much.Our unit from the moment we walked in was great. It was in immaculate condition and is the most completely supplied and really nicely furnished and comfortable place we’ve stayed out of all the places in Clearwater we’ve stayed. If it was possible……..Miss Carmen would be the only host I would use to host our stays in Clearwater and beyond. Thank you Miss Carmen for everything. Robert and Shelley

Fabulous travelers! A GREAT pleasure to host Robert and Shelley this second stay and we are so very lucky they booked already their 3rd stay with us for next year. Robert communicated in a contagious, optimistic manner throughout their stay - commendable! They left the place as they were never there, amazing guests that offered us peace of mind!
Carmen and Alex are AMAZING hosts! Their condo is just as it's shown. Loved everything!!Cindy & Paul

Cindy and Paul are fabulous guests. We do not have the opportunity to always meet our guests but this time, got to meet Cindy and loved, loved, loved her attitude..so very positive and friendly. We exchanged few personal details, a great encounter, glad to know her.
At departure they they left the place in perfect condition. Any host would be lucky to have guests as them. I highly recommend having them as vacationers. I do hope our paths cross again.
Nikki and her party were FINE guests. Treated the apartment as their own. Maybe next time we'll be lucky enough to have them staying longer at our place. I welcome back them anytime and recommend to all hosts.
Great location! Property was clean as were the amenities. Property host was very attentive and quick to respond to any questions we had 10/10 would love to stay here again

Nicholas was a great guest. Wishing he could have stayed longer: polite, super friendly and respectful at the same time. We would recommend him to any host. And look forward to perhaps hosting him again if he ever decides to visit Clearwater.
Thank you for your review Victor. This is our review about your stay:
"We met them personally, exactly when we were vacationing at Avalon and we got to say hello in person.
Very nice couple, when they left, our housekeeper complimented them as they left the place very clean and even took the trash out. Hope we can host them again in the future. "
Second time we have stayed her and all is so nice and easy access to many things we love!

It was an absolute pleasure hosting Betsy and Tom as our returned guests, 4 times in total (3 times in this unit). From the moment they arrived, their warmth and positivity lit up the place. They were not just guests; they were dream guests in every sense. We're grateful for their next year's booking and wish them the best of the best.
We loved the big, clean comfortable appartement and the gated community.
The heated pool was so relaxing.
Carmen and Alex we excellent hosts,

Thank you again for booking with us Denise and Denis! To have guests as you, to always having nice things to say - that's so refreshing! We exchanged few texts during your stay and later we got to meet in person. Your willingness to always do something for us, surprised me a lot ! you took care of some things as you most certainly do them at your home. You're wonderful guests, at departure you left the place SPOTLESS, so very kind of you. We are grateful for your stay and truly appreciate YOU! Perhaps, we can be your hosts in the future, we'll be VERY VERY lucky.
Quiet condominium complex, Short drive to the Beach
The apartment is nicely furnished and very well stocked with linens and kitchen equipment. Beautiful swimming pool and only a short drive to Clearwater Beach and Indian Rock Beach.

Last minute booking but we had such a great time hosting you, Kyra! Clean, quiet, communicative, and respectful. Couldn't ask for a better guests. Everything went smoothly and the place was left in tip-top shape. We'll be honored to serve you again.
A great virtual connection! Wonderful-wonderful persons, very nice, kind and polite. Communication was super easy with Al and I knew from the start we'll be on top of things. Replies were in a matter of minutes getting the feeling of being proactive, making days stress free. A pleasure to host you.
I had a great time in the days I stayed at the Avalon. Everything from the pool, gym and the room itself made me right at home. Carmen checked on me regularly and communicated affectively.

Wonderful guest. Left the apt in excellent condition and I would like to host Michael again . I recommend him to all the other hosts also. Easily 5 star guest.
I hosted Chelsea and Max and if I hadn't texted with them, I might never have known they were there! Very friendly, appreciative and left our space clean! Would happily host again :)
Adam and Bozena were great guests. They treated our home with respect and had excellent communication during their stay. They left everything in great condition after checkout and we would be happy to have them back again. Highly recommended.
We stayed two nights and it was perfect for us. The condo is close to the ballpark so an easy drive to the game. It is a short drive to the beaches and the owner provides the chairs, towels and umbrellas for a day in the sun. There are very good local restaurants or a grocery store if you prefer to cook. We would definitely stay again.
This was our first time at the Avalon and the owner Carmen was so helpful from the moment I started booking this beautiful place. Carmen and her husband are such fabulous people we arrived early and found them both in the condo finishing up. I would definitely recommend this place and any other place Carmen owns they are truly proud of what the rent. We truly enjoyed our stay.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this condo, and the 6th time we have stayed at the Avalon property. Very clean and quiet. Pool is very nice. We stayed for a month and had everything we needed. Carmen is a great host and responds quickly to any question/comment.

We are incredibly grateful that you chose us for a second visit and even more, you booked again with us for next year. We are also grateful you took good care (for a month) of our home away home.
You have a proved record of excellent guests, you're kind, always positive communication, we cannot ask for better. Instances like this it's when we would need more starts for reviewing our perfect guests. P.S. Very sorry your trip was cut short by 3 days.
We'll be in touch for next year's vacation.
This was a great place to stay and within only minutes from the beach without all the sand in your room. Close to Clearwater Beach, shopping, and good FOOD!!! We were given a cell phone number to text if we had any probelms or questions (very handy). Very clean place with everything you need just as if you were home! Loved the apartment, the view from the private balcony, and the pool! Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Thank you for your review Judy.
In our defense, you gave us a 4 star for something we have no control over.
We know for sure that the gates close at night, we are here now for vacation ourselves and this is happening.
As for thefts, if nothing of yours disappeared, how can you make these accusations on our review. We always strive to accomplish all our responsibility as a host and I know I've stayed on top of things.
Regardless: this is our review to you, prepared way in advance:
" Judy and Tom were wonderful guests; we enjoyed them being in our home for 3 months. Judy is very personable and engaging; before and during the trip we stayed connected and they offered me "peace of mind" knowing them there watching over our apartment. They were very respectful of our home. We would welcome them anytime and recommend them as guests to any host."
This was the third Avalon unit that we have stayed in. We liked the fact that the unit is on the first floor. It was clean, comfortable, and Carmen was very helpful with the few questions that we had. This was a very pleasant 5 week stay. I highly recommend it.

From the beginning, our communication was pleasant and smooth. When you arrived, you proved to be really excellent guests. We are grateful for your visit and hope that you will come back in the future. Thank you Betsy and Thomas!
We loved our stay here. It was perfect for me and my two small daughters. The living room was very spacious, which you don't expect from a one-bedroom apartment. It was clean and well kept. It was very close to the beach! The community and pool was SO nice as were all of the people in the community. It also felt quiet and secluded eventhough it was an apartment complex. We would definitely stay here again. And we will be recommending this to friends! Loved our stay at Clearwater!!

Excellent Experience!
In honor of our son's graduation, our family decided to spend the New Year holidays in Florida. We rented this condo at the last minute, after another arrangement fell through, and the owners where extremely helpful and saved our vacation! The condo was a very short distance to Pier 60 and we were able to spend every day at the beach. The Condo itself was nice with everything you need to feel like you are at home. Alex and Carmen always responded very quickly to our inquiries, with detailed directions. We really enjoyed our stay!
