### 5/5 — Early Spring visit

*2026-05-12*

We absolutely enjoyed your place! It was comfortable and absolutely quint. Very roomy and clean. Perfect spot if there was more snow to go skiing. Very relaxing and felt like home. We will definitely be booking again! I love how it was close enough to walk to snowboard and down to Main Street. it was truly beautiful and amazing! Thank you. Absolutely a 5 star.

### 4/5 — Very good stay

*2026-04-21, version 1.75.0*

We enjoyed our stay it was beautiful there! Location was great also! The only drawback was no cell reception at all and the WiFi was very iffy, other that we enjoyed the beautiful Avantstay!

### 1/5 — Cancelled my Reservation

*2026-04-15*

Less than 24 hours before arriving in Port Aransas Texas, I was notified that my paid in full reservation was canceled.  They expressed regret but that was my only compensation. I did get a refund, four days later. We had already driven to Texas from Missouri and had to find another condo that was suitable. This situation caused me much frustration and an extra $500. My wife has mobility issues and they only offered us alternatives that were multilevel with steps. If you require confidence that you will get what you pay for or assistance if there is a problem stay away.

### 5/5 — Exceeded All Our Expectations.

*2026-01-21*

Our stay at “1 Dreamcatcher” on Folly Beach (off East Ashley Road) was absolutely perfect. From check-in through our entire stay all the way to our checkout we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The beach house we stayed in was clearly designed and appointed by someone who knows how to live at the beach and care for a larger group/family of 10.

When we searched for a property using the Avant website filter this beach house was top of the list. We had high hopes & then were very pleasantly rewarded with accommodations that exceeded all our expectations.

I highly recommend both of Avant and this particular Beach Home as a great place to stay and enjoy Folly Beach!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-01-21, version 1.72.0*

Who ever developed this app did a great job. 

It’s clean, fast & very easy to book luxury homes.

### 5/5 — New Orleans

*2025-12-21, version 1.70.0*

We just stayed at their location on Canal Street. Absolutely beautiful and a perfect place to stay. Large windows to look out of and so very clean and spacious. I would recommend this unit on the 4th floor to anyone. Only steps to Bourbon street and so much to see, eat and drink right there. Love love love this place.

### 1/5 — Use a Real Rental App

*2025-12-02*

My whole extended family decided to give this booking system a try and booked a large FL beach house in advance for the week after Christmas. People bought flights in based on our rental location. The property cancelled our paid booking less than one month out leaving us totally in the lurch and scrambling to find space for 9 on short notice over the holidays, rearranging flights, etc. Never again. At least more established apps have a system to penalize the owners who make reckless moves.

### 1/5 — Horrible customer service

*2025-07-13*

My wife and I drove 5
Hours to the beach, we get a rental for two days and our check in time is 4pm. When we arrive to check in there is an AvantStay worker building something in our rental past our check in time he tells me give him 20 minutes for him to finish building it, I proceed to tell him hey I have my newborn and its 100+ degrees outside we would like to sit inside to let our baby cool off, then he tells me no again. Then proceeds to use the kitchen silverware to help open boxes and then tries to to hide it, then on top of this the room is filthy the bed is disgusting peoples hair, bugs, etc the room was not clean whatsoever and I they proceeded to use up my first whole day of our stay cleaning the place and then return 50 dollars. Not very hospitable, and definitely not satisfied

### 5/5 — Beach Vacation

*2025-05-27, version 1.58.0*

Loved the Beach houses that was able to accommodate 28 
Beautiful, relaxing and will come back in the future!

### 5/5 — Comfortable Family Holiday

*2025-05-12*

We rented a 4 bedroom, 3 bath house in Palm Springs Ca. It was larger and nicer than the photos showed. Plenty of dishes and glasses in ceramic and plastic for our party of 7. Plenty of chairs around tables inside and out. Pool towels, coffee options, extra towels and blankets made it easy. The pool, hot tub, games added to the fun. The family is already talking about our next trip!
