Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The home is exactly as advertised. It is very close proximity to everything (we walked with 2 kids to everything). The only issue we had was that one of the toilets upstairs was having an issue. Luckily we were able to fix it the couple of times it gave us problems. If you traveling with kids, the home is not equipped with a pack n play, but the property management company referred us to an outside rental company and that worked out great. All in all, it was a great stay!
Location fantastic. House should provide beach towels. Wonderful to have beach chairs and umbrellas. Easy walking to the beach and town. Easy access to hiking trails.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
This house is in a excellent location. It does need some love.. the front door needs to be replaced, doors in house need to be cleaned ( although I didn't wipe them down) , stairs banister needs a cleaning and paint, AND most of all the carpet needs to be replaced. Same carpet that was there 10 years ago when we stayed there.
Great location but thought the property was outdated and needs some work. When you
First walk in the place was pretty musty. Bathroom toilet paper holder was barely hanging on the wall, and lots of carpet stains.
Great place in a convenient location in Avalon. The rooms were very comfortable and everything in town you could be interested in are within walking distance
The location was perfect, close to town and the beach!
We had a few problems with one of the toilets not working and the main t.v. But the maintenance people came out quickly to fix the issues.
We were told there wasn’t a washer/dryer on the premises but there was one!
We wish the information on the rental had a description of all of the amenities
but none was given.
This was our first time staying in this house. We lived the lay out and the house felt like our home for the week. Definitely coming back to 227 Descanso next year!

Clean, comfortable, and convenient
We were a party of 6 including our 3 grandkids. This house was perfect for us. Most importantly, it was very clean. The location made it easy for us to go back and forth to the various activities and restaurants. We were very comfortable there and would not hesitate to stay there again. I don’t usually give reviews but I was very thankful for the reviews when I was searching a place in Avalon. So maybe this review will help a future traveler.
