Relaxing home from home convenient for beach, stores and touring.
Many thanks to Carmen and Alex for allowing us to use this lovely, relaxing apartment and being such lovely hosts!
Although the style is a little dated it was spotlessly clean, well kept, comfortable and really well equipped. Everything you needed from beach furniture,cool box and pool noodles to all the vital kitchen equipment, plus most important as far as I was concerned an actual stove top kettle! Us English need to be able to brew tea! There was also plenty of clean linen, towels and cleaning supplies such as washing powder, hand soap and toilet paper.
Check in was really easy as Carmen sent us all the details needed to with clear maps, photos and instructions well in advance and was available on the day for any questions. In fact she was really friendly and quick to respond to any query we had.
The on-site pool was really nice and clean, and despite us being there over the Easter school break there were always sun loungers available.
Avalon is in a good area and it felt very safe. Unusual in my experience for the US there were stores, take aways and services just across the highway a few steps away. There is even a nail bar! Abe’s Bar and Restaurant is next door so you don’t need a car to go to dinner.
The only down side for me was that the beach was too far to walk to, it’s about 15 mins drive to Clearwater or Indian Rocks, the causeway can be congested at weekend. There is a bus stop right outside and Trolley Buses nearby.
All in all we were sad to leave.
