Avila Lighthouse Suites

1 of 5 stars
California
16 Sep 2008

This place will nickle and dime you to death. They charge an extra 500 just to set up an extra 20 chairs. You can do a ceremony on this beach for a 25 dollar permit. Do not let them talk you into using them. WAY WAY WAY Overpriced and the people are stupid. They cant get anything right. They booked... more

My family of four just returned from our stay here at the Inn. We have a 2 year old and 1 year old and booked a suite (room 303) which worked perfectly for us. There were two pull our futons in the living room area, a fridge and huge coffee table. It was a good size area. There was no... more

Custom House

I got married this summer at the Light House and had the Custom House cater our wedding. We ordered the new york steaks , clam chowder for dinner and WOW……the food was Delicious. The service was outstanding, everyone was very professional and everything went so smooth. We still get compliments on the dinner that was served that evening. Thankyou!!!!! more

I stayed at the Inn at Avila Beach for two nights in August and the area was fogged in and cold. I wasn’t expecting the Hilton, I’d read the reviews before booking. What I did expect was for the person who took my reservation to get it right. I booked an ocean front room for my first night and booked... more

We just returned from our Labor Day Weekend vacation in Avila and loved our stay. We had 2 rooms, both with king beds and sitting rooms. We asked for joining rooms, but when we checked in we were told they didn't have 2 joining rooms with king beds. That was a bit discouraging since when we called in May to... more

Joe Momma's Beach Stay

27 Aug 2008

We stayed for 3 days this summer. The staff was super friendly and the coffee was excellent. Nothing to complain about. Fresh cinnamon rolls every morning were great, and complimentary coffee (anything you like) all day long. Apartment was very clean and pleanty of extra towels and bedding. Great value. Can't get any closer to the beach. We took our... more

I can't say enough good things about Joe Momma's. At first I was a bit hesitant about the place, once we got there we knew we didn't want to leave. My husband and I (and our dog Lucy) stayed in apartment C. It had a great view of the ocean -- we left the slider open at night to hear... more

We stayed at the Avila Lighthouse Suites in August. Even though we were a couple of months before that in booking, everything was booked, and we ended up getting the rate through Expedia, but it was the same rate that was on their website...anyway it was extremely expensive for what it is, although what it is certainly is clean, roomy... more

Inn at Avila Beach

19 Aug 2008

Our family of five stayed for two nights in mid-July. We booked two rooms, one for the adults and one for the kids (19,17 & 13). We all thought it was a great place to stay. I would say we agree with most of the details listed in recent reviews so I won't repeat them here. Just want to emphasize... more

First thing my wife said as we walked in apartment E, "Gosh, I could live here." Apartment E is on the 2nd floor, one flight of stairs up. Full kitchen with new appliances, pots, pans, utensils, toaster, etc. Great leather couch, flat screen TV, digital cable, DVD player. Nice, large, new bathroom. Tiled floors everywhere. Nice bed, could have been... more

We stayed at this resort the last week of July. We found the hotel staff pleasant upon check-in, easy parking in the garage and it was no problem getting our luggage to the room. However, I was not pleased with the room we were given. I reserved an 'oceanview' room for the week but our room was more 'partial view'.... more

My sister found this place 2 years ago and told us about it. We made a point of finding the place on our 2 week coastel trip. The building is a pink stucco structure but once you get inside your in for a wonerful suprise. The decor is spanish and is tastfully decorated with all this tile work. Our room... more

My family and I just returned from a 4 day stay at this property. The location and property are ideal for families with children. However, the set up of the one-bedroom suites are a bit stiffling. I can't put my finger on it, but the room felt small - and having to rearrange furniture to use the (very, very uncomfortable)... more

Olde Port Inn

positiv: Try the Crab Quesadilla! They were so good that we decided to order two more to have them for dinner at home! Very friendly service from the host to the waitress to the patron. negativ: a bit pricey, but worth it! more

Avila Village Inn

3 Aug 2008

My husband and I just returned from a weekend getaway at the Avila Village Inn. It was our first stay at the hotel and we were not sure what to expect. We usually stay on the ocean but since we booked last minute there were no rooms available. I must say I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It... more

Avila Lighthouse Suites

2 Aug 2008

We just returned from Avila Beach a couple of days ago. We stayed at the Avila Lighthouse Suites and found the hotel almost perfect. I have to say almost because if you are going there for a quiet relaxing visit, this is not the place for you, as it is a very family oriented hotel. It is a perfect place... more

Unique setting at the end of the pier. Tables had glass tops so you could watch Harbor Seals at play. I had Halibut Picata that was fresh and fabulous. I was trying to figure out all of the flavors when Ann, our wonderful wait person told me I was working too hard and went into the kitchen and brought me... more

My wife and I stayed here over our Honeymoon weekend and the hotel itself was everything that we had expected and more. The room was absolutely amazing. We loved the in-room jacuzzi/ tub and the overall ambiance of the hotel was very unique. The service, however, was a very different story. It just wasn't there, especially when it came to... more

This was our second visit to the Inn at Avila Beach. The first was for our anniversary a few years ago, we did wine tasting and it was quiet and peaceful. This last visit was with our two girls and we spent more time at the beach. We enjoyed the weather which was in the 70-80s. We loved the stay... more
