Love this place in Avila, love having a kitchen available. Walkable to downtown Avila
The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable and the property is beautiful with excellent view of the ocean and Avila Beach. The short walk to Avila Beach was a nice stroll and so beautiful at night. The lobby was being renovated but we didn't mind. We would definitely stay here again.

The staff is second to none. During this time of renovations with the lobby, coffee area and great room being closed the staff did its best to accommodate.
Room was clean and comfortable. Sufficiently stocked kitchen made cooking in the room easy. Hosted 3 dinner parties with 10-12 people per setting up on the terrace and patio allowed for everyone to have a seat at the table.
2nd year here with plans to return next year.

The staff was super helpful and accommodating The lobby, breakfast area,business center and multi function room are being renovated and will be until May. Not having access to the multi function room and business center really limited my options for work and entertaining. Austin, Elaine and the rest providing a monitor for work and extra dishes and flat ware for entertaining.
