There you'll find numerous unique restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, and a wonderful bookstore and record shop. Throughout the year there are free outdoor concerts, movies, and special events. There is a 30 mile long gulfside biking and walking path coursing directly in front of the house. Play tennis at the nearby Watercolor tennis club (fee), or take a short drive to golf as little as 5 minutes away. Kids (and adults!) love the outdoor table tennis and the palm-tree shaded Bocce ball court. Relax in the private pool or gather in the evening around the stacked stone fireplace in the courtyard. Of course, most importantly, the gorgeous beach and gulf are only steps away!

Additionally, optional travel insurance is available at reasonable cost through a reputable carrier, which can easily be arranged with our management service.

Great Stay
Communication with both the Management Company and the Owners was excellent. They were helpful and friendly. The property was BETTER than advertised! Pool, kitchens, bedrooms and common spaces, beach, location, everything! Comfortably fit us, our three kids and their spouses, each with a child under 5. We will be staying there again I fel sure.

Great house
We had a great week at Avalon. It is located a short walk from the shops and restaurants of Seaside and directly across the street from the beach access. The house had everything we needed and the communication with the host was excellent.

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
