We were a group of 10 women ranging in age from 52-82 and managed to make it work well for us, even with only 2 bathrooms. The neighborhood was great, easy walking distance to everything. Plenty of space to relax in kitchen and living room. If you love Mermaids this is the place for you!

Great Family-Friendly Vacation Home
We came to Catalina with our family—8 grown ups, a kid and an infant. The house is very roomy, so that everyone felt comfortable. We were able to cook comfortably together, and spread out to play games. It really fit what we wanted and needed from a vacation house. We would definitely stay here again!

Great getaway for a group on Catalina island
This property provided ample space and a fabulous location for our group to visit Catalina for the weekend. The house is cute and has everything you’d need. We were able to check in early simply using the lock box which was perfect and very much appreciated. Communication with the front desk has been difficult as their response time, if they respond at all, is lacking. We were there during Hurricane Hilary and I asked about availability to stay there for an extra night on Friday and never heard back from them. Luckily we were able to catch our ferry out on Sunday so it wasn’t an issue. I’d recommend this house to a larger group who is looking for an island getaway!

Adorable, large home in a great location. Kitchen was well-supplied (sufficient pots and pans, etc.). Nice layout. But most importantly, the management company was great. They communicate both by phone and text and were very responsive. Contactless entry (key is in a lockbox) and they allowed us early check-in and late check-out. Would stay again!

The house was perfect for our group. There were plenty of beds, towels and blankets. Our only issues were the central heating did not work and we were not warned. Communication was not easy. Finally, after the first cold night we learned to turn on the space heaters and it was fine. A nice maintenance man came and told us it couldn't be fixed. Also, the TV did not work and took a lot of effort. We should have brought our Apple TV!

House was clean, great location, but central heat was broken
The house was clean and had plenty of space for 5 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, cups, plates, utensils, etc. Our visit was over Thanksgiving and it was pretty cold when we arrived at the home. It turns out the central heat was not working. Maintenance came a few times to try to fix it but ended up bringing 3 portable radiators and lots of space heaters to resolve the issue since electricians/HVAC are hard to come by at the island. The space heaters draw a lot of power and the house wiring was strange so we ended up tripping fuses. Maintenance had to come by and reset the fuse twice. It took a while for us and the maintenance folks to figure which outlets were ok to use with the house wiring. After that learning curve, we had no issues with the house. It was a bit annoying starting off our trip working with the housing agency and maintenance on heat. Outside of that experience, the house was in a great location and was in a quiet place. There was a charcoal grill with lighter fluid but no coals. We didn't end up using it. The living room TV with equipped with cable which was nice. They also provide board games in the kitchen.

Wonderful location and set up for a large group!!
First time to Catalina, and a large group of us of 10 for a family/friends vacation for 3 days. The property is superbly located within walking distance to the center, with a grocery store near by too. The noise factor of golf carts that others spoke of, was not an issue for us at all. We got a slightly earlier check in which was super helpful with great communication and a late check out. The kitchen was amazing with all provided and newer and spacious for gathering and meal prep one night for all of us. Games provided, and had a cozy vibe with plenty of seating, tables and chairs for everyone to space out. But, a few things was not crazy about. The bedding in a few rooms was not appearing sanitary. Other persons black hair on one bed, a blood stain on another in the day bed downstairs, that was quite frankly very unsettling. No changes of sheets were provided. We ended up working around that. The toiletries for the number of people booked very under provided. I sent commujcation on this, with no response. One bar of soap for downstairs bathroom for sink and shower and one tiny gel for upstairs bathroom sink and shower. For 10 people, more should have been provided or LET US KNOW IN ADVANCE of the what provisions we need to bring please. We would have loved a golf cart for the house. Just saying... Thanks so much!

Good spot for family/friends getaway
When our plans changed last minute, we were able to find this property in Avalon. It suited our large group perfectly. The downstairs bedroom was a perfect kid/teen room with several beds and each of the parent/couples had their own room upstairs with a shared bathroom in the hall. As we've been to the island many times and also saw on the reviews, it is important to know that the house sits right on a main road, so there is considerable golf cart & vehicle noise most of the day and into the night. If you're a light sleeper, it wouldn't hurt to bring ear plugs and you'll be fine. It is about 5-7 minute walk to the grocery store & beach. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next trip to Avalon.

Catalina get away
The house was great and was 100% comfortable for all 10 of us. We enjoyed every minute of being on the island. The road traffic took a few days to get used to......it is golf cart city there and this corner house is on a heavily traveled route, day and night! All in all we decided we still preferred it compared to other houses that are so close together and had no outside space or views! Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!

Catalina Celebration
We rented 2 homes for 2 nights. This home was an older home, felt like we were at grandma’s house. Did like the Knotty Pine walls, but many of us commented that it could have less “stuff” in it. House at top of third block on corner, so some road noise, but not bad. Some of the beds not comfortable. Did not have enough toilet paper and no hand soap. We mostly all stayed at the other house and used this house for some to sleep in. Plenty of room with all the beds.

Avalon Stay
We have stayed in many vrbo properties. This one was really nice - but had no soap or hand soap, one roll of paper towel and very little toilet paper. No dish towels. And the toilet was leaking upstairs the entire time we were there - and no one ever answered my texts. And there's a severe drought in Avalon! And we expected beach towels at a beach house.
