They do not respond and are unaccountable for properties that are in dire need of attention. My rental this was creepy dirty with complete in attention to detail...outlets did not work, grill rusted out, furniture stained w/odor, bathrooms missing floor tile, marks on the walls, vertical blinds that were missing half of the blind, internet that was spotty, tv remotes did not work and list goes on... a complete gross out !!!I had the privilege of paying $10,000 for the week. My family vowed never again! I outlined all of this for the Bowersock group and still have not had a response. We love Avalon, but this group does not deserve anyone's business, certainly not mine!!!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Long & Foster's rental at 65 W 8th Street…read morein Avalon was so bad I feel compelled to share. My family rented the property for a week in August, and it was not at all what we expected. When we arrived, the house was NOT rental-ready. It was filthy. Surfaces were dirty, towels were left in the washer (we had to wash them ourselves), and there were broken items, including a glass in the dishwasher that caused my grandmother to cut her finger. My mom stepped on someone else's contact lens (none of us where contacts) We were promised a cleaning crew would come, but they never did. Beyond cleanliness issues, there were also safety hazards. Several broken boards on the deck weren't fixed until a few days into our stay, which was a risk for our children and elderly relative. The furniture was damaged in multiple rooms, and pillows were either stained or missing entirely. Long & Foster did send new pillows, but this should've been handled before we arrived. On top of that, the owner's personal items filled the closets and cabinets, so we had nowhere to unpack or store our belongings. This added to the overall feeling that the property wasn't properly prepared for renters. While we appreciated the bottle of wine and t-shirts sent as a gesture, they didn't begin to address the inconvenience and subpar conditions. We asked for a refund, but Long & Foster said they couldn't do anything because the owner wasn't responsive. I tried to dispute this as I felt it was long & Fosters responsibility but they said they couldn't do anything. It's incredibly frustrating to know that others had raised similar concerns before our stay, yet the property was still being rented without addressing the issues. This shows a lack of accountability and concern for guests' experience. While we did our best to enjoy the week, the condition of the home and the lack of meaningful response from Long & Foster made it clear that guest satisfaction is not a priority here. I strongly urge future renters to ask detailed questions and request recent photos before booking through this company.

I could not keep AC on as it would spread the Black Mold more and the windows only crack open a few inches, while some did not open at all. Imagine being allergic to mold and getting headaches, congestion, and itchy eyes and L and F couldn't care less and say they will contact the owner, that's all they can do. No follow up to emails asking for reimbursement, only a careless response that owner will offer money off if I book his condo next Summer. No thank you. Not acceptable. Oh and there were ants in the kitchen cabinet and a broken beach umbrella and stains in bedding and carpet.

Terrible customer service from Alex Powers who is an agent with The Powers Group at Keller Williams…read moreJersey Shore. After our VRBO booking was confirmed we received an email directly from The Powers Group requesting more information or our booking would not be honored. I have since been told by VRBO that once they charge their fee (they did) that the host technically cannot cancel. Regardless I then received a voice mail from Alex telling me if I did not respond by 5pm they would cancel my booking. I immediately responded to the original email with the information requested. When I checked VRBO this morning my booking was gone. I tried numerous times to contact Alex to confirm the status but he has been avoiding my calls. When he finally did pick up he abruptly said he would call me back "at the end of the day" and hung up without giving me a chance to speak. I tied home again and he again picked up and said would call me at 5:30 and hung up again without letting me get a word in. Totally unprofessional and very similar a situation described in the review section of the The Powers Group, with Keller Williams Jersey Shore Facebook page.
