We had a great time in Avila. Highly recommend a sailing trip with Mark at Slow Sailing. This home had a nice location but it really needs some loving touches by the owner. We were there under a rare heat wave in April and when we arrived the home was 95 degrees. Crazy hot. The home has no windows on the breeze side so it did not cool down enough to sleep until after 10 pm. Pretty sad to see your kids with bright red cheeks and crying that it is to hot to sleep. There was no fans in the home at all and no breeze.. the AC window unit was ancient, sounded like a machine gun going off and was unable to cool the home at all.. needs to be replaced pronto. The second day equally hot and miserable so we called and asked for any help. Owners dropped two stationary (not oscillating) fans which, while appreciated, were insanely loud when on so you could not be in the same room as them.. so not a big help in trying to cool the bedrooms down enough to sleep in. The living room is also in huge need of decent furniture. My petite sister sad down on the couch and thought it would break under her, simply not designed for a family to sit comfortably and chat. So, if you are looking for a less expensive great location home, this is the place. Oh, hopefully you do not have a larger car. Ours was blocked in several times by the neighbors so we constantly had to ask them to move so we could leave. What makes me sad is that if the owners invested just a small amount in a nicer couch, higher deck chairs so you can actually see over the railing and a few ceiling fans plus new window unit our stay would have been fabulous..
