Best vacation ever?
We had two families with a total of 10 kids, and this amazing house had space for all of us. So close to the soft white beaches and a quick bike ride to morning coffee in town. The owners and management company were very responsive and took care of all our needs.

Perfect family vacay!
From booking to check out everything was wonderful at Avalon! The home is so beautiful and well equipped for a family vacay!! Loved having king beds for all of the adults and then a bunk room for the kids. Loved the balconies and the ocean views!! Owner and management company were all so quick to respond! Loved having the bikes and road them alot to the grocery and out to eat and ice cream in Seaside. The private pool and beach access just across the street were amazing!!

Family Gathering
We were 15 adults and two infants. We found the space very well suited to our large party. The 2 kitchens helpful for meals in. We had all the kitchen items needed for meal prep. The pool area offered good sun as well as shade for the little ones. The beds were comfortable and shower water pressure was good. We never ran out of hot water. Location was great with quick beach access. Quick access to Seaside with shops and restaurants nearby. The only downside was all the construction going on around us

This property was awesome. The owners were super responsive, the management company did all they said and got us in early, and the property was as described. We were there in mid November and the pool was not quite warm enough for the time but we got by. The location is great, sunsets amazing, and town was really cool. Would rent here again in a heartbeat.

Avelon was terrific
We rented Avelon for a family vacation in June, 2023. There were 14 of us including grandparents, parents and 6 grandchildren--ages 6 months to 17 years. Everyone loved the house. It was the best equipped house we have ever rented and the view from the upper decks is spectacular. There were ample bedrooms, bathrooms and gathering places. The house is steps from the beach and a short walk to shops and restaurants. Thanks for hosting our family. We'll be back!

Family Wedding House
We were looking for a house that could accommodate up to 20 people for a family wedding taking place at Rosemary Beach. This house was the perfect choice. Plenty of beds and room, and a separate kitchen on both the 2nd and 3rd floors. Great view of the Gulf, and a heated pool and fireplace outside. It is about 1/4 mile east of Seaside Village, which made it extra convenient for us. We highly recommend this home for a group of between 12-18!

Great house for a large family
Avalon is a wonderful home! It’s perfectly situated on 30A right across from the beach access. Very simple and convenient to get to/from the beach. The home is clean, spacious, and well stocked for a large family. Our crew likes to cook and there were plenty of pots, pans, utensils, etc. The views are absolutely beautiful! The neighborhood is quite charming-so many people on bikes, walking around, etc. Short walk to restaurants, gift shops, etc. We had a great time and would highly recommend this home! Hopefully we’ll be lucky enough to return! Also, Julia(property manager) and Steve(owner) were quite helpful and responsive.

Fabulous place to stay
I can’t say enough about Avalon. The management was great to deal with and we never had any big issues. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach, seaside and several restaurants. The little touches, like extra towels in the bathrooms and kitchen were such a welcome surprise. The views from the 3rd and 4th floors are spectacular. The kids loved the pool and were in it every day (and on the beach every day). The chairs and umbrellas provided were so nice to have. We weren’t run off the beach while the chair rental people were trying to close up. We could even stay and sit to watch sunset, then bring them back to the house. It was a lovely place to stay! I hope we will be back soon!
