We stayed here for a family weekend last May. The owners are very friendly, rooms are clean, and it is in a great location. We were within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. It was nice to sit out on the porch and not only have an ocean view but we could watch the horse and carriages go... More

We especially enjoy sitting in the rocking chairs looking out at the ocean and people watching. It is in a great location--within a few block to the Washington Street mall, historic area & restaurants. The owners... More

I spent only one night in the Avondale by the Sea during off season (October 3/4, 2012). I chose the hotel because my friends were staying there. I was happy with the choice. Loved being ocean front and being able to look out my large window or sit in the rocking chair in front of my room to see the... More

The room was immaculate and we loved all the staff. We had a fabulous ocean view and enjoyed sitting on the balcony. We had... More
