Hubby planned an Avalon bday trip for me and we left out of San Pedro. Once my husband and I got to…read moreAvalon, we took an ($18) taxi to the Hamilton Cove (where the Airbnb is located). Hamilton Cove is private property that was built on a mountain, so the street is not on the same level as the entrance to the room so be prepared to walk down four flights of stairs - or more depending on where your room is located. Keep this in mind if you plan to travel with heavy or have large items (e.g., stroller, cooler, etc.). Our rental unit offered the use of a golf cart to explore and that was one of the best features of the room: having access to a golf cart while on the island. The building and the room were very old, and it looked like there was some construction being done on the other side of the resort; but not in the room we were in. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom was spacious, but I am not sure I would stay there again unless there are some renovations done. Here are some key points we jotted about the room: -Four flights of stairs to get to the entrance of the room -Front door lock is hard to lock/unlock - when we were leaving, it was hard to tell if the door was locked at all -Half-painted wall (facing the ocean) -Broken wall outlet cover with cords hanging out -Broken and dirty curtains -Broken and dirty kitchen roller shades -Dirty kitchen windows (covered in bird waste) -Kitchen was on a slope - felt like you were leaning to one side (and would fall over) when you walked in -Plywood boards underneath the stove (to level it?) -Kitchen/bathroom (counter and floor) tile all need to be replaced -Shower was dirty - I wore my sandals while taking a shower -Balcony/patio deck had a VERY nice view; but the wood banister was chipped; there was no privacy/partition between the rooms on the same floor; there was only a BBQ on the right and a (tall wire) planter to the left to separate our balcony/patio from the other ones on the same floor. Again, golf cart was great to have but: -Key ignition broke when trying to start it -had to call maintenance to fix twice before we could use for the first time -had to take to the golf cart repair shop to get ignition fixed (we did not have to pay and it only took 30 minutes) I am glad that we did not have to deal with insects or bugs; since there was no air conditioning we had to keep the back patio doors open.

I'm not sure why the other reviewers had so much trouble. We rented one of Clarence's properties…read morewhile staying in Avalon for the weekend. He was very friendly and the place was great. It was a lot more comfortable than anyone expected. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath with a foldout couch in the living room. There was a wraparound balcony with a beautiful ocean view. The condo was centrally located on Metropole. It was a bit of a hike to walk the hill, but there was a flight of stairs you could use instead, that we affectionately deemed "rape alley". My only complaint was in regards to laundry. The washing machine was probably 30 years old and very tiny. It made it very hard to wash towels, etc. Checkout was at 10 AM on Sunday. The phone rang about 10 after. Instead of a nagging "don't forget to check out spiel", Clarence thanked us and wanted to make sure we had a nice time. I would certainly rent from him again. Definitely recommend.

What a disaster...and Clarence Hunt didn't even care. My wife booked a 4 night stay in one of their…read more2 bedroom rentals at 306 Clemente. We sent a check for the full amount and they sent us a receipt with a signed agreement saying there are no cancelations-money will be forfeited. This was on March 28, 2014. Flash forward a month and a half to May 7, 2014, and we get a call from Clarence stating that the owners have decided to stay in their place over 4th of July weekend, we can't stay there anymore. What??? We have other friends going that same weekend. We have made reservations for activities, cabana rental at Descanso, Flyer reservations, etc...you cashed our check and then come back and say we can't stay there. He offered us some crap place up the street for full price. No thanks. I called him and he had nothing to say. DON'T EVER USE THIS RENTAL PLACE. EVER! If I had read the first two reviews, I would have steered clear of them. We still haven't received our check back by the way. Thanks for ruining our 4th of July Weekend.

I'm so grateful for how seriously he took my wants and needs. If you're buying, he's the one you want in your corner.

My family and I needed an experienced realtor that could navigate the potential twists and turns of…read moremy grandfather's trust. Meridox turned out to be the best choice we could have made. Trung and Linh were consistent with their communications with us and kept us informed on all aspects of the listing, negotiations, and escrow processes. From our first meeting, they were well prepared and did their homework. Comps and initial estimates were extremely helpful. The most impressive aspect of their services was the negotiations, with multiple offers received, Meridox carefully orchestrated another round of bidding, culminating in us receiving the highest and best offer. Disclosures, paperwork, and escrow were a breeze. I would highly recommend their professional services to friends and family, and I would use them again in a heartbeat!

I thought I would never end up buying a house...so when I found my dream home just randomly driving…read moreby one day, I realized I didn't have any knowledge of how the process work. While my parents introduced me to a family friend who was a real estate agent, I had no idea how to go about finding a loan officer! After digging through Yelp/Google, I stumbled upon Meridox Mortgage that had stellar reviews and took a chance. I called Meridox and was put in touch with Trung Tran. I let him know that I didn't have any knowledge of how the house-buying process works, but he was incredibly supportive and assured me he would walk me through every step. Shortly after we finished talking on the phone, he sent me a list of items to provide for the pre-approval letter. Trung's turnaround was quick. I sent him my information in the evening and got the letter the next morning. My real estate agent used this letter to draft the offer...it was accepted! After my offer was accepted, the rest of the process was somewhat nebulous, but my real estate agent worked closely with Trung to help me through. Trung was with me every step of the way. He patiently explained how my monthly mortgage payment and closing costs were calculated and even helped me negotiate a home insurance offer. He even kept a close eye on the market and advised me when I should lock in the rate. I thought home buying would be more stressful, but it wasn't as bad as I thought because Trung made every step clear and was very on top of deadlines. From pre-approval to loan closing, it took just one month! Thank you Trung for being so diligent and patient in helping me secure my dream home! Trung was also very proactive in reaching out to me a few months later when interest rates dropped by about 1%. I had the honor of working with Trung again for my refinance, and it was also efficient and painless! I recommended Trung to my coworker recently when she was looking to buy a condo. Highly recommended to anyone who is in a market for a house to look into Meridox!! Thanks again for your hard work, Trung!!!
