Amazing Beach Getaway
My husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary in Avila Beach and had our friends and family stay at the lAvila Lighthouse Suites. It was the perfect accommodation for my friend who had to work online, my other two friends who brought their dog, and my nephew, his wife and young daughter. All their needs were met and all had a fantastic time!

Great location and very family friendly. Across from the beach and walk away from food and restaurants. Breakfast every morning included was very convenient, only negative was fire pits wasn’t working, and they should have several gas heaters available for outdoor night time.
We loved it.

Property was great. They have beach chairs and sandcastle toys. The breakfast was better than any other hotel breakfast including fresh cut fruits and different breads.
Pool and hot tub were great. Location perfect for a beach pool day.
Hotel was very busy! Rooms a bit outdated and small bathroom

Love this hotel…great location and always very nice. There was something going on with the air conditioning but we were only there one night so didn’t get it resolved. They came and “fixed” it but it really didn’t work. All in all a very nice hotel.

Beat the traffic and parking nightmare by just staying here. Right across the street from the beach and super easy to access. Wish I got to enjoy the hut tub but it was filled with kids and for an adults only trip I skipped that part. It was Mother’s Day weekend I will add lol. The breakfast was good, the property is nice, the rooms are big, I enjoyed my stay

Staycation
Hotel was in great location. Had an oceanfront view. Bathtub and bath sink were old and dingy. Pull out bed needs better mattress. Breakfast has lots of options but food you could tell was frozen. Kids did love the waffle maker.

This was our second time staying here and loved it each time. It’s located directly across the street of the beach and restaurants and shops are just a short walk away. Clean. Hot breakfast is included. It’s the perfect place for a family get away.
