Classic California Beach House on Catalina Island

Catalina Island known as the island of romance is the perfect choice for visitors looking to escape and experience the warmth of a small-town in a fun island destination. Catalina has a year-round Mediterranean climate with warm sunny days and cool evening breezes. Fun activities include scuba, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, golf, parasailing, shopping, or just relaxing on the beach.

Our Catalina home is a wonderfully warm and sunny cottage just 2 blocks from the beach, shops, boating, and other entertainment. It is located on “the flats” in the center of town for an easy walk to all destinations. It has 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and sleeps up to 4 people. The home is decorated with a cheerful Catalina/beach theme. The home is available for a two night quick get-away for an extended rejuvenation stay.

Dive into Avalon like a Local

Easy access to all Avalon has to offer. We walked to casino point to scuba dive from shore, walk to the pier to board the dive boat, and then to the marlin club for post dive cocktails.

Cute Catalina Cottage

This quirky and darling beach cottage is the perfect location. Close to the beach and near Von’s on Catalina Island. With fans on and windows open we were quite comfortable. We love this home and return to it year after year.

Cute beach cottage

It was a perfect size for our stay. It was great to have rooms, a kitchen & living room to hang out in after a day at the beach. Walking distance to just about everything not far from the beach or Grocery store at all.TV was not working for us we ended up renting movies from the library.

Great place to stay!

I can’t say enough about this place. It was such a great experience! We were just steps away from everything in Avalon. Steps away from the shops, restaurants, and harbor. I was actually shocked how easy it was to navigate around, and we had a fun time meeting some of the locals. With that being said, if you’re looking for a Ritz Carlton experience this is not the place for you. If you’re looking for an authentic experience in Catalina then I highly recommend this place. It is over 100 years old with a cozy cool beach cottage vibe. Don’t forget to read about the interesting history, which is on the wall of the entrance. It was a great trip, and I hope to come back again!

Cute, Funky (in a good way!) Beach Cabin

We loved our stay at Catalina Avenue. The house is just as we expected for an older beach cabin. The house was cozy but had plenty of room for us and the owner was very accommodating. The check in was super easy, with a lock box on the front door. They do need to replace the kitchen smoke alarm; it started beeping on the day we were to leave. Also, we could not get the microwave to work. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Birthday relaxation for mom

It is a cute house and the location was great. We are older women and not having air conditioning was a bit hard on us. Even with the open windows and fans it was not cool enough. However, had I been younger I do not think it would have been a big deal. It was nice to have two bathrooms. In the evenings after hiking and shopping around normally we like to watch TV but the house does not offer any streaming services. We could not really figure out how to make it work so that we can have a little bit of Netflix or similar. So we mostly watch regular TV channels. Overall we had a good time and certainly loved the location.

Decent place in town

Decent place, small but cozy. The floor in the middle section is slanted a bit strangely giving you an uneasy feeling. Downside is there is no AC. I stayed here during a September heatwave and had to open all the windows, blast the fans and put wet towels on myself to stay cool.

No venation in cabin, electrical outlets were not useful, need extension cord, many of the lights did not work., no bulbs or not plugged in. Nosey, sounded like people were walking on the roof, but they were next store. Good location. Clean, enough room for the three of us.

We ended up having an issue and being unable to stay here, but working with the owner to resolve it was wonderful. She made every effort to accommodate us and I enjoyed talking to her even under stressful circumstances.
