Good location, could use updates

The house was able to accommodate us all fairly well. The location was about a mile walk to Descanso beach club, which wasn’t too bad considering the views on the walk. With that being said, the house could use some updates (shower, paint, curtain rods, etc.). Also, some cookware in the kitchen needs to be updated (mainly pots and pans). The outside of the house could also use some maintenance (cleaning out the shed, removing cob webs, etc.). Overall, my family enjoyed our stay on Catalina island.

Slanted and cramped

Did we have a wonderful time in Catalina and enjoy our stay? Yes! Would I stay at this property again? Absolutely not. There was no property manager to get a hold of and I had to reach out to get all the check-in information. I received a little communication from the Host. Broken air conditioner and cramped living quarters. I don’t know who built this house, but I think they might have been a little blind because so many things were off. Stained sheets and blankets available For bedding… Tried to not think about it. No comfort for anyone over the average human size. Luckily nobody in our party was plus size but if they were, they would not have been able to use any of the bathrooms. Impossible to sit on both toilets due to cramped walls. And the house is literally on a slant… Things were rolling all over the place. Great location, next to the grocery store was awesome. Adorable neighborhood and very quiet. Misleading on quality of home and availability of rooms… But it did the job. For the money we spent, I am not overly thrilled about what we got but oh well. We had a wonderful time in Catalina and would not stay here again.

Cottage Stay

The Cottage was a bit underwhelming for the nightly price. The place can use some updating that's for sure, especially in comparison to the other properties on the street. Bathroom Toilet Areas are a bit tight for anyone over the average size. Great location and street though! Good thing Catalina Island is a beautiful place, and we spent most of our time outside enjoying the Island.

Lovely, cozy place to stay

Our family of 5 had a lovely time in Avalon. The property was quaint and perfectly sized so we could spread out a little. It was the right distance from the grocery store & it helped save some money by being able to eat breakfast “at home”. It wasn’t too far away from all of the fun things to do & see.

This property looks and feels very old. It is dark, noisy, and kind of creepy. We didn’t think the sheets on the big bed were clean. The towels looked dirty but we found some new ones under the sink. The bathrooms are laughable. We’re tall people and you couldn’t sit on the toilet and close the door. Overpriced. All it has going for it is location.
This is the decoration in the living room. Who is this? Scared my grandson.

For the price it was very small.

the whole place is like a run down double wide trailer. in one bedroom there was a half curtain "hiding" a destroyed bathroom, tinfoil wrapped around shower handle to prevent leaking, plywood construction. Can't shut the bathroom doors while your sitting on the toilet. It's just very clear the owner puts zero money into upkeep of the property. For the same money you can do much better at one of the hotels

Noisy

They were jackhammering and laying the foundation for a new home 3 feet from our window from 8am to 5pm. The owner had to know this and should have disclosed it. At night the street turns into a frat house. No hand soap in the back bathroom.
