“Avila Lighthouse Suites, with its coastal cottage design, clearly aims for a relaxed family vibe, steps from the beach and downtown Avila. I particularly appreciate the all-suite layout and the inclusion of perks like e-bike rentals, alongside practicalities like secure parking. The heated oceanfront pool and included breakfast-not just a continental spread, I noted-add real value for families.”
