351D: Beautiful Restored Home, 2.5 Blocks from Downtown

Great little place that easily accommodated 4 of us. It’s also walking distance to Vons and the beach area so that was a plus.

Always fabulous time on the island

Beautiful home in a great location. Clean, well equipped and comfortable! We will definitely be back! Thank you for your hospitality!

It was very easy to get to everything and anything on Catalina. It was a very clean house and worked well for my wife and my elderly parents.

We had a nice weekend here. House was clean but it was a little extra walk into town.

We have had a great time here. Beds are very comfortable, kitchens are well equipped. Very clean. Great location.

We loved this little house! So updated and great for our family of 5! Loved the location and we were able to walk everywhere! Grocery, beach, golf, and town were so easy to get to! The house had almost everything you could need! We did buy soap for the bathrooms and kitchen but honestly it had everything else! Thank you for a great stay! Can’t wait to come back!

The property was the perfect size for the 3 of us and an easy walk to all locations in Avalon and to Descanso Beach, even with luggage and shopping bags. Management communicated with us very well and made the check in and check out process easy. We loved our stay with the the many activities available (kayaking, zip lining and tour of interior) and options to dine. Our only negative: coffee mugs, glasses and some dishes were not clean but overall cleanliness of the property was definitely acceptable. Thank you.

The property is as described. It is a pleasant cottage with a fully stocked kitchen (though a few sharp knives would be helpful). It is very conveniently located in relation to restaurants and the Vons supermarket. Everything was clean with the exception of the kitchen cabinets, which needed to be wiped down (there was some food residue on them). the beds were comfy, and there were some fun games and jigsaw puzzles. WiFi worked well. My complaint is not with the cottage, but with Avalon itself. The town has some charm, but it is overrun with noisy, smelly gas-motor golf carts. The noise and fumes become really unpleasant after a while. The cottage is right on the street (no setback), so you hear EVERYTHING, including the neighbors' (loud) music. I can't figure out why the local political leadership doesn't try to do something about the golf cart situation. I guess because lots of people keep showing up, so why change it? If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful vacation, I would not recommend Avalon. Maybe you can find something in the surrounding hillsides that is quieter. Maybe it's better in the winter. I'm not sure. With all this said, we had some lovely hikes--the mountain trails are beautiful (though watch out for tourist-filled humvees charging up the fire roads).

We loved the proximity to town for shopping, dining, and renting a golf cart. The property was clean and perfect for card playing, relaxing, nice, quiet neighborhood. Towels and most immenties were provided, included a coffee maker, but no coffee, so we left the rest of the bag we purchased for the next guests. We got in late and didn't have coffee in the morning, and the towels were on top of the shampoo and soap, so we bought some at Von's before we discovered it, so picking up the towels that were not on the rack but on the counter in the master bath is a good idea for future guests.
