Avari in Long Beach, Washington

“Clean and spacious. Night time is quiet. A lot of board games to play with. Easy drive to the beach and the local town area which has great shops to visit.”

“We initially had a problem with the hot tub. They had someone out the next day to treat the excessive foam with a de foamer. But there was still a lot of green algae or slime along the rim of the tub that was not cleaned. In my estimation, the tub needs to be empty emptied, scrubbed and refilled”

“First, the good: the house pictures matched our expectations for location (8 acres on the beach) and LOTS of windows and light. Avari was responsive to every email. Next, the bad: The screens on all the doors were torn and literally hanging off (not talking small holes but half off the door frame). Something with a LOT of ketchup was spilled on the deck outside the entry door - about a 2 foot area with footprints through it. We cleaned it. The refrigerator door/handles were filthy - had to be cleaned. The pullout cutting board was covered in crumbs and food - had to be cleaned. Windowsills SO dusty. Animal hair on the the carpeted stairs. The windows on the doors were filthy from small hands - had to be cleaned to enjoy the view. We washed ALL the sheets in all three bedrooms after finding long dark hair in the sheets. We documented all of this with photos and Avari said they would notify housekeeping. Lastly, the outcome: Avari contacted the host who refunded $100 back to us.”

“Great location, but unfortunately the cleanliness and condition of the home did not meet our expectations. Upon arrival, it appeared the property had not been properly cleaned between guests. We found an empty energy drink can, a used washcloth with hair in the upstairs shower, food splatter inside cabinets, and debris in kitchen drawers. The downstairs level had a strong mold/mildew odor that made the space unusable for our group, which was disappointing since the second living room was one of the reasons we booked the home. The carpets were heavily stained, including a sticky area in one bedroom. The upstairs bedroom was especially concerning, with a damaged bed frame and bedding that contained hair and stains. We also found some basic amenities missing, including soap, body wash, and shampoo. We spent a significant amount of time cleaning and addressing issues at the start of our stay. While the location was excellent, the property's cleanliness and maintenance need improvement.”

“The place was very clean and close to many restaurants! It was a little hard to find and a bit of a walk to the water, but overall a great stay!!”
