Christmas Family Vacation for 17
It adequately handled all 17 of us with 8 adults and 9 grandkids ranging in ages from 11-24. The location is amazing as we could walk to Seacrest for any quick foods and drive to Publix for groceries only minutes away. The views from the two balconies is breathtaking. Also the connection with the management Co was so easy and immediate. We truly had a wonderful Christmas vacation.

Family Vacay
Our family of 5 highly recommends staying at Avalon. The view from the 3rd floor is beautiful, and the beach is literally a few steps across the street just as described. We enjoyed the pool, as well, and found the water temp to be perfect without heating. On several evenings we walked to Seaside and enjoyed the shops and ice cream/coffee. The kitchen was well-equipped. We all appreciated the umbrella/beach chair/wagon hub just as you exited the courtyard for the beach. The owner and the property manager were both very easy to reach and extremely gracious to help us with a special request. The only thing that we would change would be to extend our time at Avalon indefinitely;)! Thank you for a wonderful vacation memory!

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.

Family Time is the Best!
I cannot say enough about our stay at Avalon the week of July 4th! We had a total of 16 in our family, so this home with four stories was perfect for our four families! With two complete kitchens, there was plenty of space to enjoy whatever meals we needed to prepare. Being only a few steps from the beach was such a huge plus. I will admit, if you can’t go up and down steps, you may have a difficult time in this home if you choose the third floor. It will be 90 steps from there to the beach! lol! We counted! We also loved having the chairs and umbrellas provided. There were also bikes for the grandkids to enjoy riding to Seaside, which was so close. The pool was great after a long day at the beach. Honestly, we could not have been happier with this beautiful home and all its amenities! Thank you for thinking of your guests!

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

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!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun
This would rate as one of our best family vacations, lots for all to do within biking or walking distance. The home was very clean, spacious for our large family, great for just hanging out when not at the beach, pool, or riding bikes. The pool and courtyard were perfect for family time, the kids love the pool, perfect break from the beach. Got to grill out one afternoon while all enjoying the pool “chillaxing”. Would have loved to do more of this but too many good restaurants nearby. We carried our Townie’s “bikes” and the area was perfect for family bike rides with the 5 bikes provided, great for getting ice cream and eats at nearby Seaside. The beach access was just across the street from the pool, perfect! The beach time was great, made it every day and the beach gear was a plus. We had the best aqua colored water we ever had in Florida, can’t describe, wish could attach picture “beautiful”. With the fun had to be rest and the 5 king beds were great. For an old man with some old football knees the stairs were a workout, with the stairs and the bikes I got to eat extra ice cream which was a plus (LOL). I normally get lots of feedback regarding our vacations from my better half and kids, normally just the dislikes, but will say all very pleased with the home and location, nothing but good things this year except “Dad, this vacation went by faster than any, can we stay another week”. Time flies when you’re having fun, don’t let the family times slip away. Great stay

Avalon Will EXCEED Your Expectations!
This was our first stay at Avalon in Seaside, FL but it most certainly will not be our last!!! Our stay was everything we could have dreamed of and more. It was my entire family; grandparents, siblings and their spouses and all 6 grand babies! The property is absolutely stunning; two kitchens was just what we needed, ocean views for the best sunrises/sunsets, outdoor pool which we could request to be heated, literally seconds from the beach, walking distance to the courtyard and shops- the list goes on!! Steve and Sonia Bruno handle their guests with love and care, they are truly the best hosts we’ve ever had! Not to mention their management company, Stay 30A with Julia, she was incredible as well! Steve, Sonia, and Julia were quick to respond every time, and would even reach out on their own just to check in prior to, during, and after our stay. Steve and Sonia even sent the most wonderful recommendation email on the area of Seaside which was so helpful and exciting!! Book your vacation here, you won’t regret it. We can’t wait to come back!!

Exceptional Beach House Steps from the Beach!
This property is incredibly close to the beach, and it feels like we are staying on the beach. The third and fourth floors have great views of the ocean. And the house is walking distance to the shops and dinning at Seaside. We had 3 families stay in the house for a combined total of 18 people. Each family had their own floor, and all with complete privacy. The house layout was perfect for the three families. The property came with pool/beach toys for the kids and beach chairs and umbrellas. This is our third vacation at Seaside, and seaside is by far our favorite family vacation spot in the world (we have been to many beaches such as: Aruba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Trinidad & Tobago, California, south Florida, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta) - and seaside, FL is our favorite - hands down.
