Great Summer Getaway!!

My family and I had a great stay at Trout House! Perfect location, close enough to everything but far enough away for a quiet stay. Beds were comfy, used the very functional kitchen. The place is rustic but everything works well, awesome water pressure and love the history of the house. Great deck for relaxing after a day of exploring. We would definitely stay again!

The Perfect Escape

I can't imagine a better place to enjoy some time on Catalina, especially for the price. It was everything we wanted, a block from the beach, with a sweet breezy deck with great views that I could have stayed on the whole visit. Such a fun little town, so easy to get to, but *worlds away* from LA. Will be back!

Enjoyed this Property

My sisters and I enjoyed staying in the Trout House. It was full of history of the island. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. It was in a super safe area. The porch overlooking the Avalon Cove was wonderful!!! The only reason I rated it four stars was that it needs some updating which I spoke to the property manager about.

Weekend Getaway

This little Gem of a house has a lot of character and showed historical charm of what felt like staying in a ship. Its snuggled up a hillside by a short walk off the main road. The outdoor front patio had a small peek of the ocean which was a nice way to relax and feel the breeze off the water. We made some nice memories here. The kitchen had enough supplies to make breakfast every morning. We spent our nights in town. The bedrooms were small being tight quarters but only there to sleep.

Property description needs to accurately note there are two half bathrooms, not two full bathrooms one bathroom enclosure has a toilet, the other has the shower so in effect there is really one bathroom but it is divided by a wall. Few small items like no Kleenex anywhere, plate of half eaten food was left on the kitchen counter, a large hairball was on the carpet, and no curtains on Windows and second bedroom so that late sleeping is nearly impossible. Otherwise unit was relatively clean and neat. The patio balcony in front is the nicest feature and makes it very comfortable.

Review of Trout HouseFive stars means it hits every thing on a list and was super stellar or perfect. We give this lovely house 4 stars. It was a wonderful quirky old house. Did some of the things need attention to be more than 4 stars, yes. Did it detract from our stay, no. The 2 issues we had were quickly and satisfactorily addressed. We loved hanging out on the covered deck. The limited view of the ocean was great. This old quirky house had an interesting layout. It's location gave us walking workouts up and down the steep streets to and from the house. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was useable. It had lots of windows and light coming in everywhere. Cloth grocery shopping bags provided. Would we come back for another stay? Yes indeed we would. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing weekend.

Trout House

We came to stay at the Trout House for a milestone birthday celebration on the Island. I picked the house because of the outside deck and view. We really enjoyed the house, the history, and our time on Catalina.

Great Location, Loved the outdoor deck

We stayed the weekend for our friend's birthday and enjoyed the relaxing view and deck.Charming house and easy to get to from the main downtown area.The only thing I would change is the bathroom situation. It is a little odd that it is split up into to areas. other than that, we would definitely stay here again!!!

Everything We Could Have Wanted And More!

We loved our stay! The house had everything we needed. It was so conveniently walkable to town. The biggest pleasant surprise was the front porch. We spent almost all our waking time out there. It had a view of the ocean and when it rained, was covered enough that we could still sit outside and not get wet. I would definitely stay there again!

A great little place for our weekend getaway with 2 Adults and 2 teenagers. It's close to the main shopping and dining area and the Vons supermarket is also a short walk. It's an older house with character, a little cramped, but expected due to being built in the early 1900s! Overall, we had a fantastic stay.
