Amazing Beach Getaway

My husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary in Avila Beach and had our friends and family stay at the lAvila Lighthouse Suites. It was the perfect accommodation for my friend who had to work online, my other two friends who brought their dog, and my nephew, his wife and young daughter. All their needs were met and all had a fantastic time!

Really lovely, family friendly hotel. We were on a three week trip down the west coast, stayed in 9 different hotels and the Avila Lighthouse Suites was by far our favourite. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Overall a nice place to stay. The inside was very clean but the flooring could be replaced. We heard the place has been purchased and they are rebranding so hopefully they will renovate the rooms as well. Friendly staff and conveniently located to shops, dining and the beach. The town closes down early.

Great location right at the beach, with spacious suite room, clean and comfortable king size bed. Friendly staff and very helpful. However the pull out sofa bed was very sagged, not good for the back that my son was more comfortable sleeping on the sofa.

I really liked being right next to everything. Just wish the hotel looked at nice as the high prices you pay for it. My room needed repairing and cleaning. Just overall needs more attention to cleanliness and upkeep.
Great view!
