Visited Flying Flags Avila for the first time and had a great stay! The location is quiet and relaxing with easy beach access, dog friendly amenities, and beautiful views. The staff was kind and helpful throughout our visit. The only downsides were the furniture in our cabin, which was quite uncomfortable, especially the bed and sofa, but given the price and location we were fine making that tradeoff. We also had an issue with ants in the kitchenette, waking up to a large trail leading to our dog’s food bowl. Maintenance came by quickly to spray and clean up, which we appreciated. It would have been nice if we had been told in advance that ants are a recurring issue here so we could have been more proactive with food storage. Since this is a very dog friendly place, leaving out a food bowl does not seem unreasonable. We also noticed ants on the bathroom floor after showers, likely searching for water. Honestly this comes with the territory of being at the base of a mountain. We are no strangers to campgrounds and a few bugs are not deal breakers, but it may be worth letting visitors know ahead of time. All in all, it was no harm done and did not take away from our trip. If small inconveniences like that would ruin a stay, a hotel might be a better fit. Overall we had a wonderful time and would happily return. Thank you Flying Flags!
