Lovely place!
This is a lovely, very comfortable place in a spectacular location. Easy walking to the waterfront and grocery stores but quiet, very comfortably appointed, and terrific for a family. We were there with our adult kids and brother/sister-in-law for a New Year’s vacation and we had a fabulous time. We’d love to stay there again!

This place is five stars for location. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Avalon that’s walking close to main areas and grocery store, this is the place. Flat. No hills to get to and from. We had a great girls weekend. Three of us. Loved being able to walk back and forth when we wanted a break or change of clothes, etc. The street is quite busy but can’t be heard in the bedrooms. Decor very cute. Bathrooms look relatively newly updated. Beds were comfortable - even the bunks (I slept in one of those). TV great. Easy to use and navigate. We dropped to three stars because a of a few things to note: 1. No dishwasher 2. Not really any outdoor seating - tiny back patio - no view or greenery (used for storage of beach chairs, toys) 3. Back bathroom is light and bright but has no privacy on big windows to outside tiny patio- very awkward. 4. Bathrooms seemed clean, bed linens and towels clean, but kitchen drawer pulls, door handles, door jams, etc, could use a scrub. A bit more attention to regular maintenance and cleaning detail would bring this place up to five star.

We loved this place! Very happy with the living space for all six adults to relax after fun day exploring Catalina. Dining table was great size for board games and bathrooms were clean and remodeled nicely. Beach chairs were available which was very much appreciated. Beds and pillows were all comfortable. Kitchen was fine too. Could’ve used a full size coffee maker though. Overall great place!

Pictures on web-site may be misleading
We rented this unit for 2-nights and paid more than $2,800 for it. The pictures on the VRBO web-site gave us the impression that it would be newer, modern condo. The reality was far from it. The bathrooms had old dirty tiles. One of the bathrooms had large glass windows with no curtains, offered no privacy. The other bathroom was dark, with almost no sunlight. The fan in the front room did not work. The family room lacked a fan. There was no dish-washer. The unit was outrageously priced for what it had to offer. Sadly, VRBO does not seem to require or enforce any living standards and upkeep consistent with pricing. I shall definitely not rent this property again.

Veronica was there for whatever we needed! she was awesome. We loved the location, just a few minutes from the beach and all the Main Street restaurants. The home is very comfortable and clean. It’s hard to find three bedrooms with lots of living space.

Great space and location, be prepared in winter
We loved the large living room and dining room spaces to spread out in. The location is perfect for walking everywhere in Avalon! We happened to stay over a cold weekend and there is no central heat other than the gas fireplace. There are also space heaters but they can’t all be on at once or they trip the circuit breaker. Thankfully there were plenty of extra blankets and comforters. Just be prepared in winter that the place is chilly. Other than that we really loved it and would likely stay there again on a warmer weekend.

Needs some TLC
Good unit but needs some TLC (we stayed in the upstairs unit last year which was immaculate). There are missing lightbulbs and lights switches that don’t work. I got trapped in the bathroom the first day because the handle would not work. Most of the doors and handles to the bedrooms had issues. The floors were extra creaky in some spots. This is still one of the better rentals in Catalina.

Catalina Getaway
Very clean property and close walking distance to everything but the noise of the street was very noisy with golf carts since this is one of the main streets. We stayed in the downstairs unit so people also stay in the upstairs units which can be very noisy. Also the unit was not very well stocked with laundry detergent and dish soap. A nice unit for families!

Very nice bottom floor condo. Less than a 5 minute walk to the waterfront and to the Vons market. House had all the items needed. Beach towels, cooking utensils and some small food items, like sugar coffee, spices, etc. Even had a washer and dryer which came in handy. Very happy with the property.

Catalina is fun!
An island experience in la county that is pretty cool, however this house is in dire need of some tlc. A good scrub at the very least, paint and a remodel would be best. The appliances are broken, the lamp in the last review is still sparking! There is no door on the big bedroom, the furniture is filthy., the house is cluttered. There was a horrible fish smell that we couldn’t get rid of. The upstairs unit is very loud, we could hear it all. Construction started early one morning. There are no views, no natural light, and on a busy, noisy street. Pretty bad. On the positive side, the beds were clean, the manager was very sweet and brought disinfectant and febreeze, she also loaned us a golf cart. The location is superb, the island charming. We will return to Catalina but we won’t stay here again.

Good location but had some kinks to work out
We all liked that shops and restaurants were walking distance from the house, on a flat road was a bonus. The social area was large with comfortable furniture. Beds were also comfortable. We did run into several kinks that need to be addressed. - Half of the lights in the dining room chandelier are burnt out so we pulled a lamp from one of the bedrooms to give more light to the dining room. -Lamps behind couch weren't plugged in. Access to them was difficult as the large sectional is up against a built-in shelf. - In the bathroom off the kitchen the shower handle falls off while trying to open/close the door and the toilet handle must be shook to turn off - Had to call property manager because we couldn't figure out how to work the TV remove. An instruction notebook on this along with trash/recycling and WiFi information would have been nice. - We didn't cook any meals there but one night wanted to have appetizers and needed a can opener - none to be found. Had to use rusty pliers. Cooking options are limited. Guests should take stock before grocery shopping so they know they can fix it. - One bedroom only has two small drawers in closet for storage - Have to hold knob on dryer for it to work - On/off dial on lamp between twin beds started smoking when turned on - Hooks needed in bathroom off dining area I highly recommend owner or property manager spend a few days living there before it gets listed again so they can see first hand these issues and possibly more. Once they get addressed, I'd recommend the unit but not until then.
