Our room looked just like the photos. Loved the netting over the bed and the quality furnishings. The breakfast wasn't anything exceptional. Would have enjoyed one hot dish. Cookies in the evening was a nice touch and the women who run the inn were very nice. Be aware that's it's at the other end of Duval Street from Mallory Square but not far from El Siboney restaurant with great Cuban food and the Southernmost Point in the U.S.!

Stayed at the Avalon for 4 days with a group in mid-Oct. Very professional approach, rooms clean, the only critique would be a hair brush (not ours) under one of the beds. Like others have noted, A/C was a little loud but not over the top. Owners very accomdating with info on local attractions. Breakfast great, especially on the front deck. This part of Duvall is quiet. Get up a dawn walk to the southernmost beach (turn left out the door) and you'll see all sorts of fish/birds feeding off the beach. Take your camera as the architecture of sun coming off the adjacent mansion/inn is stunning.

For dinner, the Blue Heaven is heavenly, nice atmoshpere, outside, but great food.

Get some cuban coffee at the Cuban coffee Queen down by the marina.
If you like snorkeling/outdoors, do not miss the Dry Turtogas hydrofoil tour. Sea turtles on the way out, snorkeling with barracuda, sharks, rays, beautiful fish etc., outstanding. The fort is just alright. Money well spend.

The Avalon B&B is a great place to stay. It is friendly, inviting and very clean. Breakfast was continental with a great choice and served on the porch every morning. Our room c/w en suite was bright, clean and lovely. It had everything we could possibably need. The staff were friendly, helpful. It is situated on a quieter part of Duval Street not far from the beach but within walking distance of all the shops, restaurants and nightclubs. I would recommend the Avalon to anyone it is brilliant.

Our first experience staying at a B & B and it was wonderful! The rooms are clean and nicely decorated (as is the entire facility) The continental breakfast on the porch every morning was delicious. It is located on Duval street and is only one block away from the Southern Most Point. Parking is not on site, so you need to park about 1 block away. Only negative comment is the air conditioner is noisy, other than that it was a very nice stay...will be back.
