Rooftop breakfast was delicious and staff was very professional. The barrister was probably the best I've ever seen. Best sugar-free caramel latte I have ever had.

Great location, Very nice staff. As mentioned on their website, there is no elevator, so be ready to climb stairs. the ocean view rooms have a daybed on the balcony. Laid out there till 1:30 in the morning listening to the waves, staring up at the stars and listening to Jimmy Buffett. This is an old hotel with rustic charm. Very tight parking spaces beneath the hotel.

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.

We stayed here to celebrate a special birthday with friends. While the place was charming and eclectic we had no idea there was not an elevator ONLY STAIRS , no way to get your luggage to the 2nd or 3rd floor except to drag it up the stairs. That was rough as our ages range from late 50's-early 70's. While our room was a bit more eclectic than I prefer, the ocean views were amazing from our balcony. The tv's were a bit more of a challenge than they need to be in 2025 but I didn’t come to watch tv. The staff was very kind and friendly. The breakfast provided was 100% my favorite thing next to the view. They have a actual barista making delicious specialty coffees and the warm bake goods come from a local bakery. We enjoyed the morning coffees on the rooftop deck. Kudos to the gentlemen and young lady serving coffee and pastries.

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!
