Time capsule to Catalina’s Past

The location was ideal being in walking distance to most of Catalina’s attractions. The house was not as clean as we expected and we did not have a working fridge initially however property management did respond offering a mini replacement and when alerted about cleanliness promised they would address with cleaners for future visits. It was a quaint cottage-like home that I would recommend once the above items are resolved.

Catalina October vacation

The house we stayed in was wonderful. Excellent location. We could walk to everything. Even though it's on a very trafficed street, it wasn't noisy. The property was clean, cared for, and the property managers were available and easy to deal with.

Great Location!

We loved our family stay in this home. Great time away before our Senior graduates. Close to town, beach, and shops. Description just like listed. Our only problem was the washing machine wasn't working (we usually like to do laundry on our vacations) but other than that no issues at all.

Great location, if a bit tired

I can’t imagine a better location for a rental stay in Avalon., In the flat streets, near the boardwalk and ferry terminal. The property is a bit tired, but served our needs. The stairs leading upstairs are not to current code in several aspects (pitch, run, railing) so be careful. The most unpleasant aspect was the pool of stagnant water with mosquito larvae. That I see as a property management issue, so hopefully our pointing it out to them will address that issue. All said, we might stay there again if that was addresses. It so hard to find a place so close to town center.

Great stay

Previous reviews were very helpful. Overall this was a great place to stay, close to town, great location. The washing machine didn't work, neither did the cable. The sliding closet door in the downstairs bedroom is broken and could be dangerous for young kids. Super cute spot but could use a little TLC/deep clean, and also not perfect for very tall people. We had a great time though, it was perfect for my 82 year old mom and my 18 year old son...location was a big sell.

Avalon vacation

We Just stayed for three nights. Flooring is very uneven throughout the home - I worry about the safety of the foundation of this house. Lots of noise outside on the street with golf carts coming and going at all hours. I prefer something quieter.

This house was ok. For the price we were expecting a little more. We have stayed at many hotels and str’sThe kitchen was ok but expected to have some way to store leftovers, wrap or rubber ware, coffee was not supplied. It really was the little things that added up. The bikes had flat tires, one portable heater didn’t work (house is cold so it is needed)and the blinds on front door need replacing. The office staff were very friendly and even offered us to be able to stay a little later. The location was perfect for our needs. The place just needs a littleold.

Thanksgiving Family Adventure

The house is well located. The kitchen has lacking needed items for cooking a meal. Absolutely no knives or cooking sheets. Bathroom clean and functional. Overall flooring was very dirty. Walking across the floor on bare feet would leave them black. Light bulbs or light fixtures not working. We have rented several homes on the island. This one will not be in our rotation.

Catalina is lovely

The town of Avalon is so cute and definitely worth the trip. The VRBO is adequate but I’m not sure I’d stay here again. The location was amazing but the house seems more like your grandmas house that hasn’t been updated in at least 20 years. We spent most of our time hanging out and watching tv in the bedroom because the living room couch cushions have seen better days. It took a couple of days before we found the washer/dryer mentioned in the listing, because it’s outside! It was requested for us to was and out away dishes before leaving, which we did but there’s no dishwasher and there’s no dish rack. The bedroom tv remote only had one battery in it, but no extra batteries could be found — so now the living room remote only has one battery.

Slightly disappointed

When we first arrived there was a broken window that had not been replaced which was extremely dangerous for my family to be around. The floors are filthy and broken in places. The king bed is extremely uncomfortable and the pillows are probably 15 years old nasty and need replacing immediately along with the awful sheets. The tvs were impossible to use so that really ruined our downtime. The washing machines are in a puddle of water outside which makes them very difficult to use. this house needs serious cleaning and repair to be an acceptable rental especially for non seasoned Catalina visitors. Btw I’ve been coming for 30 years and have never felt the need to write a review like this

Disappointing

The upstairs is for people around 5’ to 5’5”. The TV upstairs didn’t have sound? The floors were filthy, our feet were black. Noisy location do to it being on probably the busiest street. Dangerous stairs from the 2nd floor. Probably better for college kids.

Substandard and basic

We had limited lodging choices in Avalon since we were expecting to bring along a dog. This was probably the best option available among few options. We ended up not bringing the dog so we wish we would have known that - would have had many more options. Avalon is a bit of a crap-shoot when it comes to lodging and this place confirms that - it's someone's basic cash cow Avalon rental, with minimal effort to make it nice. Very rustic and funky place, characterized by not clean, leaking toilet, low ceilings, and dirty towels. Location's good (100 ft from beach) but Clarissa is among the noisiest streets in a pretty noisy town (gas golf cart heaven). Master bed was comfy. Book this place if your options are limited and you don't plan on spending much time in the house.

Fantastic location and dog- friendly. Could use some upgrades.

Loved the location and the price was reasonable. Appreciated it being dog friendly. Electronics could use an upgrade. Satellite tv or streaming services would add a lot. Also need to upgrade blinds. All of them are cheap and broken. The single bed in the upstairs bed room is not suitable for an adult. More than 1 ice tray would be nice.
