Winter stay
Lovely house, great view of the water. Too cold to enjoy the outdoors but had fun playing board games and reading. It would have been nice if the fireplace was working.

Quiet
The check-in process was great including a one hour earlier Check in. The rental company, VS VaCasa answered any questions we had quickly. The house is beautiful, and was very clean. The kitchen is fully equipped, which helped out because we cooked all but one of our meals there. The hot tub was very clean and well situated on the back deck with views overlooking the water. The only thing to be aware of; if you bring your dog or dogs, which we did, local dogs will randomly show up in your front and backyard, none of them were aggressive, but it's good to be aware of. Overall, we had a fabulous stay.

Reel Living in December
The property was very nice but we couldn’t walk our dogs because the neighbors let their two brown labs run loose all day. One of them even came onto the wrap around porch and up to the back door. The dogs also used the yard as their bathroom. We would definitely stay at this property again if we didn’t have to worry about loose dogs in the neighborhood.

Super Sweet Sound
We absolutely loved thee house & the Sound. There were a couple of small maintenance issues- but nothing horrible. As mentioned in previous review the neighborhood dogs do roam free, followed our dogs on our walks & pooped in the yard- slightly frustrating but not terrible. Our main tip is this: we struggled all week thinking each room only had 2 bath towels- having to wash continuously- only to find a huge green bag stuffed in corner closet full of towels on our last night 😂 Look for the green bag!!!

Offseason waterfront rental
We were very pleased with the house. Great waterfront on sound property. It took a while for the hot tub to heat up and we had to add more water to cover the jets. We made use of the kayaks and kite/wind surfers went right by us. Note the wifi pwd is all lowercase letters which is different from how it is written plaque in house. Also note the grill isnt listed as an amenity. The fireplace also was not functional. Everything else was very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable and we really enjoyed our stay. Fantastic water views and close to local shops and restaurants. Lots of games, puzzles, books and cornhole to use. My only minor complaint was that I wished the neighborhood was nicer as there were some run down homes on the way in. I would recommend this place and would stay again.

Quick Getaway
House was very clean and accommodating. Plenty of fresh linens and towels. We enjoyed the hot tub and kayaks immensely. Sunsets on the back deck were incredible. Highly recommend this house for a quick getaway!

Nice place
Location was excellent. House is awesome. If you're a dog owner, be aware of potential visitors when letting your pup out the front, as neighborhood dogs often are roaming outside this property. Ours had a blast with them - the social committee is friendly. Just FYI.

Spacious House on the Sound
We loved this house! The beds and pillows were comfy, plus the sheets were already on the beds. The hot tub had great sunset views. It was nice to access fishing/swimming in the sound off the backyard. There was ample parking for multiple vehicles. The kitchen had every utensil and item you could ever desire. I would highly recommend this house and plan to stay here again soon.

Charming home with great views and fantastic layout
Beautifully decorated, Reel Living is an updated older home in the older part of Avon with a comfortable layout and some really cool surprises like a tower with a futon and a work station! Accessibility was great for people with achy knees, with a reasonable number of steps to the first floor, where the kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms are located. Three roomy bedrooms upstairs had very comfy furnishings, en suites, and great views. The kitchen was well-stocked. The shaded deck offers fantastic soundfrount views. The grassy yard was perfect for rigging sailboarding equipment, and the little dock was great for launching kayaks and paddle boards. The owners thoughtfully include two kayaks, some bikes, and beach chairs for their renters. Our family has stayed in several houses in Avon, and Reel Living is by far our favorite.

House was amazing. The view out back is so spectacular especially at sunset. Very nicely decorated. The kayaks were a real treat. Kitchen at front door is perfect with large table for whole family. The wrap around porch is great for little kids to run and get out energy. Just a stunning house. Will look to rent again.
