We have stayed several times at Avalon and it is our favorite rental. We stayed two weeks and the sunsets were almost perfect most evenings. Even though it is first tier, the house is positioned to view the sunsets without the beachfront homes blocking it out. The view north is equally nice as you look down the dunes toward the mostly deserted beaches of Rish Park. The pool is very nice, and the furnishings are comfortable and in good condition. The outdoor shower has good water pressure and is very relaxing. The layout works very well for us too. The boardwalk to the beach is fairly level with a few gradual inclines, and there aren’t many steps to get down to the beach. We saw dolphins almost daily. The water is clear on most days being on the North Cape and currently the shallows go pretty far out into The Gulf. I would recommend this rental to anyone.
