Great location, clean and comfortable home and furnishings. Host was very prompt in communicating. Would stay here again.

Everything was great! I felt this location was best for my family! Will be trying to stay here again!

This was my first time using VRBO to rent a vacation home and I’m so grateful Daniel was the first host I worked with. He was so communicative and helpful with this process from start to finish.The day of check in there was a hiccup with the AC but he notified me hours before my arrival that the problem had been noted and was being worked on. It was still not 100% when we arrived but help was on site and it was solved by that evening. The house itself is in a great location, simple walk to the beach, near all local attractions/restaurants/necessities. It’s a great layout, very spacious bedrooms and excellent kitchen. Even though the house is located on Route 12, it didn’t feel noisy and the bedrooms are located in the back so no issues with sleep and hearing the road. The only issue we encountered and that affected our rating deals with the cleaning service that is employed by the owners. Upon arrival we took a quick survey and ended up doing a top to bottom re-clean of the whole house. We re-washed all of the sheets, the mattress covers (vacuumed the mattress itself), the towels, cleaned both bathrooms, cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed all surfaces and then mopped all surfaces. Another thing to note is the house has been well loved and lived in so there is minor wear and tear throughout, but didn’t affect our comfort during our stay. I would recommend this property to any and all looking to enjoy Avon and am very happy overall to have stayed there.

I have never needed to leave a negative comment for a place we've rented, but unfortunately there were some pain points in this home that directly affected our vacation and I can't honestly recommend renting it until the owners make a few repairs and/or solve a few issues. Pros: The house does look just as pictured in person. The decorations and updates are nice in the kitchen and throughout the bedrooms and family room. It's definitely a cute beach cottage, and perfect size for a small family (we were two adults and our toddler) but not GREAT for a small child like ours because it's very close to NC 12 and there's not much room to ride a bike or scooter that doesn't put the child right on the highway. Not a deal breaker, but just for fair warning, I thought I'd include it. He did have fun on the scooter under the house/in the driveway. Location is good - very close to Food Lion and a few restaurants and seafood markets. The check in process was good and we felt happy with the location. Cons: Waterbugs, aka Oriental Roaches aka Palmetto bugs. The morning after we checked in, we awoke to a large roach crawling up the drapes and throughout the day, would find 5 more. These large bugs are NOT a sign of infestation or a dirty kitchen. We get that. They are prone to wander in when a house is backed up to lots of thick brush like this house is. It still had a negative effect on our trip and kept us on edge looking out for them. We saw 2-3 after that initial day. Large appliance issues were a problem. We ran the dishwasher and the result was standing water inside and no dishes were cleaned, even though it looked like the washing pod was dissolved. We wound up running it 4 times and finally just gave up because the dishes weren't getting cleaned. We washed everything by hand after that. We had some trouble with toilets not flushing as well. Maybe this house needs a septic pump? But at one point, my husband had to use a Tupperware filled with water to get the toilet to flush. Just regular size flushes were slow to go down. Not fun. Neutral but worth mentioning: There's not a ton of outdoor lounge space. There's a small deck but it is in need of treatment from wear and water rot, and we weren't comfortable using the hot tub since the wood looked so degraded underneath it. There were some responsiveness issues from the owner at first, but he did wind up communicating with us throughout our visit after we flagged these issues.
