The view was great. Right on the beach and could not be better. The price for a beach front cottage was good. That is where the good stuff ends. The cottage was very dirty. We could not use the tables or chairs before cleaning them. The floors were so dirty that the bottom of your feet would turn black from... More

Dryer doesn't work. Fridge doesn't get cold. One of the three showers are broken, you can use it as a bath though. Really old decks that give splinters. Old, squeaky mattresses, extra warn in living room furniture. BUGS. Location is EXCELLENT. We're in cottage 88 right on the water and you won't find anything in this price range with such... More

I have read several unflattering reviews of the Avon Cottages. My review would be from a long time ago...October 1992 when my wife was in the final year of her life. We met Earl, the original owner, and he was a fine old fellow. He and his wife were real southern hospitality. We rented #89..right on the beach..sleeps ten. We... More

We are normally the type of people who go with the flow and wouldn't complain, but after spending well over a grand for a beach cottage, we had certain expectations. On the plus side, the location was very nice and the staff was very nice. However, upon entering our cottage the first thing we noticed was that a plastic dollarstore... More

As long as you're just using it as a place to crash after a long day in the sun, it's ok. BUT, the beds were hard and creaked LOUDLY at the slightest movement. The pans were old, dollar-store, badly scratched teflon, warped junk. Terrible water pressure--the shower was literally a trickle. The sun deck bowed & felt like it would... More

Do you want a quiet place near the beach... where you are breach front on ocean view? Do you want resturants and stores in walking distance? Do you not want to pay an exhorbinate price? They have one bedroom effiencies up to large multiple bedroom houses. The places are rustic but you have everything you need (other than a blender).... More

when we checked in they gave us a full bed when they told us we were getting a queen; this wasnt good since my husband is tall. We were able to change units the second night. There was a HUGE difference in the condition and furnishings between the two units and they were right next to each other in the... More

My husand and I stayed in an efficiency at the Avon Cottages. I have to say this was one of the worst places I've ever stayed. It is very run down and is in need of major updating. There were stains all over the rug and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. It is a slight step up from camping. I... More
