What a lovely little house! We had a great time there. The mattresses on the beds are excellent which is something rare in a vacation house.

We loved our stay and made some amazing memories!! The house itself is pretty basic and could probably use some upgrades. But it met our needs and we had plenty of room for our family of 5. The location was the best part! Just a few minutes walk to the beach or just across the road from several restaurants, ice cream etc! Even the pier is within walking distance (about 30min walk)! Overall we loved it and have no complaints!!

Great stay!
Great property that we hope to rent again! The front screened in porch off the kitchen was fantastic and a nice spot for dinners and evening hangouts. A short walk and you are at the beach which is always a plus! Avon is a special place and this house helps you enjoy it to its fullest. P.S. we did appreciate the great book options available at the house, many little nooks and crannies filled for fellow bookworms!

We enjoyed our stay at Cape Joy. Everything was as pictured and the space was perfect for our family. One thing to note, even though the walk to the public beach access is in the neighborhood, the walk over the dunes is a struggle. You will need to carry your stuff as the sand is super soft and rolling a cart is practically impossible. We eventually drove down to Ramp 38 to go to the beach.

Had a great stay here. Easy access to the most beautiful beach. The house is generally nice, a bit rough in some spots but priced fairly given the condition. Great location, walk or short drive to all the good spots in town. Vacasa was easy to work with.

Cape Joy was an excellent find for us as we were visiting friends that live in Avon for Mother's Day. It was very clean with a well stocked kitchen and plenty of room. It was just the two of us so we didn't even use the upstairs which has a nice game room and another deck. Speaking of decks on the main floor there are both open and screened in, nice for bug season. Location is far enough off Hwy. 12 that you seldom hear any traffic in this quiet neighborhood.

The house was beautiful. Not a far walk to the beach and the coffee shop across the street is amazing. The only problem was the internet did not work.

Thank you for staying with us and for the feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the house, the short walk to the beach, and the convenient distance to local businesses. We apologize for the issues with the internet and want to let you know the internet has since been upgraded to high speed. We hope to welcome you back.

We’ve stayed there many times, and we like the upgrades that the owners have done. Very nice as usual to stay there and very comfortable accommodations.

Perfect for what we needed
Comfortable house and price was reasonable. Could stand a few minor updates, but nothing major.

Great property, location and amenities. Also thank you to the owners for the letter and gift that you sent us in the mail and the attention to the details. It lets us know you care about your renters and their needs. God Bless You. We love this place, this is our 3rd season we`ve rented this property. The owners have thought of everything and make you feel at home, The amenities are great for a couple or small family, everything you need to enjoy your vacation. A Hop and Skip to the beach, beautiful view of ocean from morning to night, and easy acess to beach or fishing pier for the avid fisherman. We had a great time and got plenty of exercise on the built in stairmaster. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
