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.

The total of renting the dump is $6000 The one review btw is suspect. I don't want to give it 1 star but have to in order to post the review. The house 3211 Bayland Dr OC is truly a teardown. Everything from ratty dirty towels, filthy toaster oven, a small fire started because of the many crumbs. The grill is dirty partially works. There are no window shades on the 2 twin bdrms are flimsy don't keep the light out. There is a construction site next door. I had asked before renting what was on either side of the home and was there and would there be , no to both questions. What are we next to? A construction site. In fairness the construction did stop after the 1st day, however sitting in the back yard not appealing as we're looking at the site. And yes we saw pictures of the listing, as we all know none of this shows up in the pictures. The Powers Group offered to look into another place. What a laugh, we had unpacked 2 weeks worth of house hold items and clothing Restitution should have been offered. I called and sent a text, all have gone mia. We are 70 and 73 not going to be inconvenienced period. The owner should be ashamed. When I contacted her and sent pictures she put it back on Jennifer at Powers. When the owner Rebecca Gushue first heard about the construction she replied " I'll work with you." She too has disappeared. Shame on you.
