A great place to stay!
The free pie and ice cream in the evening was great.
Breakfast was delicious and the view was great.
Our son, Matt Cross, frequently entertains at Avila venues and its fun to walk down the street to hear him play!

Very pleasant stay.
The place was very nice. We enjoyed our room and how easy it was to access everything along the beach front. We liked that they offered beach supplies to use and bicycles as well! We plan to return and get an ocean view next time.

This place is a gem!
Such a wonderful getaway. Right on the beach. A bit quirky but lovely. The staff welcoming and accomodating the breakfast was incredible, the view from the roof deck stunning and the pie & ice cream at night were next level.

Can’t wait to return!
Absolutely loved my stay at this special spot and I hope to return! The hotel has so much cute character and the staff is friendly.
They have a gorgeous view from the rooftop and a delicious breakfast that is included. Felt almost like a bed and breakfast.
We made use of the beach equipment and towels as well. Lovely little town for a family getaway.
