123UT Lower: 3B Spacious House, Harbor/Ocean Views, Golf cart

Excellent view.

The host was friendly and check in was easy. A breaker blew during our stay, and the host took care of it quickly with good communication. The VIEW is phenomenal and the unit was clean, comfortable and easy to relax in. We could hear the upstairs occupants talking and walking, but fortunately they were on the same sleep/wake schedule so it wasn't an issue. The king bed in the main room was hilariously squeaky. Maybe some WD-40 could help.Thankfully we had the golf cart because hiking up and down the road would have been challenging. It's about 15-20 minutes into town. That being said, Wild Bill's was a trusty little cart. Instructions on how to fill the tank and best fuel to use would have been helpful. Overall a great stay and our group enjoyed it very much.

The quintessential Catalina view from every room made the trip. The huge deck was just as the pictures show. Having a 4 passenger rain proofed golf cart was fabulous for easy trips down the hill. The place had all the basics. It was not modern or new which made it reasonable for a family of 6 to experience the location. The sheets smelled clean, we had plenty of toilet paper and we didn’t encounter any bugs over new years week. Note: If you’re bougie this isn’t the place for you. Summary: Basic accommodations with sensational views and convenient golf cart.

The property has a great view and our family enjoyed the stay.

Great view

For the people who like a brief summary- many bugs and there might be structural issues with the property.As for the more detailed version, we arrived for a week. We came in, admired the view and left to go grocery shopping. We woke up to ants eating our food, which had to be thrown away. We had to clean that. We informed the property mgmt company and they responded promptly. They gave us bug spray. We sprayed and that DID NOT resolve the issue. There are just way too many and they have been there for a LONG TIME. They were everywhere from the kitchen to the laundry room. In fact, I grabbed a pan to cook with, placed it on the stove and walked away. When I returned about a minute later, there were all these ants...apparently, I did not see the ants on the black pan and I burned them. It was disgusting! But that was not the only issue, when we were there a contractor from the neighboring property stopped by and indicated that the property was leaking water and the city inspector was called. If this property is leaking water and its located on a hill, then that is a problem. I am not an engineer, but common sense tells me wood and water do not mix after years of not being maintained. Thus, it would explain the millipedes inside the unit. The millipedes eat the rotten wood. While they are very unsightly, they are not poisonous. I called and never received a call back from the manager. There were other issues, but these were the most concerning!

Ants throughout the house and in the beds and furniture. Poorly maintained and not clean at all. Bed sheets didnt look washed. Dishware in the kitchen looked unwashed and disgusting.

We booked this house for the view and were very impressed with that. The golf cart was a big plus as well. However for the price we paid this house left a lot to be desired. -the floors were dirty -deck furniture was stained and dirty-living room and dining room furniture is worn and dirty-living room TV wasn't working (not sure if broken or no power supply)-the kitchen drain smelled like rotting food-the upstairs bathroom is small and dated, with no fan. The shower/bathtub is very slow to drain, so you'll be standing in high water during your shower. Also the shower knob is broken and barely functional-the upstairs bed is very tall and extremely squeaky, the pillows are flat-the door to this unit is at the bottom of a steep set of stairs on the side of the house. It is not accessible and there is no stairway lighting at night-the location is very quiet but is not easy to walk to - it's a 15 minute walk from town up a steep street

Some minor glitches but overall great vacay. Included cart was not available but owner said he would reimburse us for two taxis per day.

The view was absolutely stunning! There was a lot of room as well. Simple check in and check out. No issues with property managers. Issue with the golf cart so they reimbursed for taxis which was amazing! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the views and location of this house. While it was a bit of a hike getting up there the ambiance could not be beat. The host was communicative and responsive. We can’t wait to return!

We loved the location! The house is very roomy. Two bedrooms are downstairs with one bedroom upstairs. The views from all of the bedrooms and living room were amazing. A washer/dryer were a very nice bonus. My only disappointment is that the golf cart was not available due to insurance issues. We chose this particular place as we thought we would have access to our own cart. We were notified a few days before our arrival that it would not be available to us. However, we were reimbursed for two taxi rides per day which meant a ride into town and back. There were times when we went into town more than twice.

We very much enjoyed our stay, however the golf cart that was advertised became not available about 2 days before our trip and instead were reimbursed for 2 cab rides a day. The location of the property, the golf cart makes things easier and convenient. We were able to make it work without the use of the house golf cart, but it would have made the trip easier. We came across issues with the WiFi and some mouse droppings in one cabinet, but the management company was very responsive and immediately sent a maintenance crew to clean and set a trap. The view is amazing and we enjoyed our stay. Just a few hiccups along the way.

The house was absolutely beautiful and the view. Was stunning! Check in and check out were easy and having the golf cart was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed in the lower unit with one other couple. While there are steep stairs to enter the unit, this was clearly communicated to us and wasn't a problem. The view is stunning and the patio is perfect. We did have an issue with one of the showers, but called the number provided and a person showed up to help within an hour. We would stay here again.

Everything about this rental was great. The view of the waterfront from the balcony was spectacular. There was plenty of space in the home and access to the golf cart made this vacation complete. Even though we were there during Christmas week, most of the restaurants and shops were open. Would stay her again.

The condo is very comfortable and has an amazing view overlooking the village and harbor below. I would have been content just to sit on the deck all day. But there was a lot of biking and hiking and eating to keep us busy. Avalon is a beautiful place!

Felt a bit like going home. Kind of quirky and could use some updating, but a nice setting and good value. I'd stay here again.

The stay was fine. No communication about the construction next door was not told to us. So as we were hoping for a peaceful conversation there was none. The construction workers were working from 8:30 to 8:00 at night. There was no soap for the washer so we purchased some BUT the main concern was the Dryer. The lint container on the dryer was NEVER cleaned. We had to pull hard on the dryer vent to remove the lint. Such a fire hazard. Also there was only a partial roll of toilet paper in the bathrooms. We had to call to get extra rolls which we shouldn’t have too. No soap in the bathroom shower.

This house had a great view. Only downside was a little hard for us to find, but once we found it, it was a great unit!
