Avalon Bed & Breakfast

Great location! Just on the corner is a stop for free bus ”The Duval Loop”. Great beds!

The staff at the Avalon made our 30th anniversary spectacular. Even when something went awry, staff, maintenance, and even the owner, Tim, jumped in to help and make things more than right. We have to give a special thanks to Eric, who was wonderful. It's a beautiful place, sparkling clean, truly on the quiet end of Duval (when you walk from the Mallory Square end, you hear the difference as you get close to the B&B), with bicycle rentals across the street, easy access to lovely restaurants, wine bars, shopping, entertainment--pretty much anything you want on vacation. The breakfast was always good, with lots of fresh fruit, assorted breads (with toaster), cereal, yogurt, boiled eggs, juice, coffee and tea, pastries or coffee cake, and a special addition that changes, such as mini omelets, pancakes and bacon, French toast strips, assorted cheeses and meats, etc. The attendant keeps the breakfast area immaculate and everything filled. It's laid out on the front porch with plenty of tables and a nice street view. The Avalon is directly across from the Butterfly Conservatory, which is peaceful even when stuffed with visitors. We walked and biked everywhere, but there are plenty of other options. We changed rooms twice because I added days onto the front end of our trip, and the staff upgraded us for the second night to the little cottage by the pool. Our double queen room, which we kept the remaining five nights, was comfortable and pretty, with crown molding, a ceiling fan, comfy beds, a canopy made from white mesh, nice furnishings that fit the period of the building. On top of all that, there are robes in all of the rooms, fresh cookies or other treats put out in the afternoon, wine and beer for purchase, and a station for coffee, tea, or cocoa that's available at all hours in the lobby. If we didn't have pets, and jobs, to return to, we'd never want to leave.

Great location, very pleasant and helpful staff very nice.

Pastry at breakfast was very fresh. Fruits were excellent. Staff extremely friendly and helpful
