About this property

Sail Inn: Waterfront, Dog-Friendly, Private Hot Tub

  • New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

    Located on one of Avon's best sound front lots, the Sail Inn is primed for windsurfing, kiting, crabbing, boating, sunning or relaxing. The ground level of this ground-friendly has good parking, carport, under-house access, and easy water entry from a low bulkhead and dock. The first level has open decks, an outside shower, and an interior entry with a laundry area. On level two, the first and second bedrooms have extraordinary water views and access to the hall bathroom. The sound front main bedroom has deck access, great views, and a full bath. The fourth bedroom has deck access and water views. Head topside to the third level's great room with tall ceilings and beautiful sound and sunset views. The living area has comfy seating and an entertainment center. The kitchen with a breakfast island (near the dining area and the nearby full bath) is the perfect place to prepare the day's catch and tell vacation tales. A comfy den accented with superb water views is made for quiet moments. A generous sundeck is the perfect place to admire the Island's best sunsets. There is also a park grill available outside. Come by land or sound to the Sail Inn.

Great for a group

Our group of 8 adults (and 1 dog) enjoyed our stay here very much. We were in Avon for a week of windsurfing events, and the house suited us very well. The waterfront view from the balconies is gorgeous, and the location is close to restaurants, coffee shops, Sunrise seafood market and groceries. The dining table seated all of us comfortably. I think we would stay here again. Vacasa was very responsive in dealing with minor issues (fridge needed maintenance, for example).

Keep Sailing

First off, the house was in a great location off of the sound with incredible views especially from top floor inside and out. The house layout was good too with four bedrooms on second floor. However the place needs some serious TLC. First off, everything above a housekeepers head is filthy. Light fixtures, ceiling fans, bathroom fans, cabinets, refrigerator top, windows, lampshades, and so on have a very thick layer of dust. The return vents were filthy. The HVAC vents were dirty, wasn't sure if it was just dirt or mold. We turned HVAC system off and did not use it or the fans as we did not want that to circulate. Also many walls had dirt, some in strange places. The inside of microwave was dirty and also rusty. Many of kitchen utensils looked dirty, We washed everything prior to use. The cabinets the pots and pans in were nasty in inside. The bottom of stove where roast pans were was caked with grease and dirt. Secondly, there are no comfortable seats in the house. It wasn't until we got in my SUV that we found comfort. The couch and chairs in living room should be trashed or burned. The rest of the chairs are wood. So nothing comfortable to sit in after a long day on fishing. Finally, as some others alluded too, many items on house are outdated. Now I don't mind outdated so much but some things are broke and need to go. Vacasa did reach out about the cleanliness after check-in and we did rate it as a 1 and they responded and said they could send someone to clean. However we did not want to be in a place that filthy while it was being cleaned. Best to leave that amount of dust, dirt, and filth undisturbed while you are there. Also, it is doubtful they would appropriately send the amount of people necessary to clean that house top to bottom. I highly highly recommend that Vacasa or owner clean this top to bottom and replace some furniture. Vacasa, this hurts your brand name. I'm super disappointed and definitely overpaid for what I got. As this will be an annual trip for us, we will be looking for other home and possibly through another organization.

The views from this property are amazing! House was clean and towels were large and plentiful. The beds were also very comfortable. Hot tub was clean and the views again cannot be beat! The neighborhood was quiet and perfect for walking our little dog. Close to everything and numerous beach accesses within just a few short minutes.

We liked this spot on the sound. Very comfortable and good sunsets from the deck, not to mention kite boarders to watch on most days.

It was a beautiful home right on the sound. The location was excellent for water access and amazing sunsets. The home needs a few fixes but overall it was very comfortable and would rent it again.

Great Avon location

This is a nice property located in Avon on the sound. The house met all of our needs, including a surprise of two kayaks we could use on the sound. The hot tub was awesome and the views were gorgeous. The kitchen is well-stocked with tools. It is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, so it's quiet.

First class house

House was clean, well stocked, and well maintained. Housekeeping did an excellent job. Location is great on the sound. This was our fourth stay at this house and we will be back. Need I say more.

Exactly what a beach house is supposed to be! It was perfect! To be able to put kayaks in right there, ride bikes, enjoy the beach, and visit local restaurants, this place was perfect. Despite reviews from before, it wasn't bad at all. The only thing we would suggest changing is the TVs and viewing options. We had a rainy day and just couldn't figure out the televisions. However, we brought a bunch of games and spent our time enjoying the large livong and dining area and scenery from the top deck. Thank you! We would definitely stay again!

Decent property

The furniture and everything is pretty dated in this house. Overall cleanliness was fine and the dock on the water was a bonus. It was fine for our fishing trip but I know if the girls would have came with us they probably would have been unhappy with how “antique” everything seemed.

could use a good cleaning

Location is nice. The house needs some work. the carpet needs shampooed, It could use a paint job, some light bulbs, there are water stains on the ceiling in one of the bedrooms. We still had a good time, location is good, the hot tub works.

Great views

The house was in a great location with beautiful views. Some of the furniture could be updated. It would be nice if the kitchen had a few items to help with cooking, salt and pepper, coffee filters, etc. Not sure what the black and yellow box full of towels was for, but it was in the way the entire time and very heavy to move. Overall, nice place to stay.

Sail Inn

I was worried about the place after reviews I read. However, if you are looking for a place that is close to both the sound side and beach, this is it! We rented kayaks, bikes, chairs, and corn hole. The place was more than what we expected. The living area is large with vaulted ceilings. Yes, it could use updates, but it's a beach house! It's honestly what we expected. We spent so much more time exploring the place that sitting around the house. It was a perfect place to sleep, bathe, cook meals, and relax in the hot tub. The sunsets were amazing from the home. The sound view was breathtaking! We were impressed and would stay there all over again!

Sail Inn needs upgrade

We enjoyed this area on soundside, but the home itself needs homeowner to upgrade several things, shower curtain on bdrm floor mildewed terrible. Lots of tiny ants and maintenance came quickly to take care of them in kitchen area. Had only a few later. Kitchen cabinets need handles on doors . You have to use both hands to pl the doors open and drawers out. All rooms have holes in wall from door knobs Bed skirting in twin bed rm ..skirting was torn right much and hole in ceiling with water ring. Overhead vents and wall vents immediately need filters changed. Lighting in fridge barely comes on. Sorry, this home needs upgrading.
