About this villa rental
If you want to be in the heart of town and walk anywhere this is it. It is on the first block, steps to the sand and steps to any restaurant or bar. Right next door to the Catalina Island Conservancy so easy if you want a tour or event. Two nice decks, you can have a drink and enjoy the views or people watch. All newly redone, nice everything. Nice new TV. It technically is a one bedroom but it is 1100 sq ft with two euroloungers that fold out and all bedding/towels included. This is a fun place to go and you will love it, we do.

We loved our stay at the yellow house in Avalon!
It’s located less than a full block from the beach and the beginning of the main strip of shops and restaurants.
The interior is spacious and nicely decorated and we appreciated having two bathrooms as well as separate euro-lounger pull-out beds for our children; one in the bedroom loft upstairs and one sharing the space with the kitchen.
The toy room is well equipped with two paddle boards, two single person kayaks, adult sized bikes and more. Luggage storage for early arrival/late departure is awesome so you can enjoy the day without lugging all your stuff around.

This was our second trip to Avalon, we stayed in a hotel the first time. This time was sooooo much better, this place was perfect! It’s so close to everything, we loved the balconies. The kitchen has everything needed including some spices and sauces in the fridge! We would definitely stay here again!

The Yellow House is a great place to stay in Avalon and Marty is a great host. It’s convenient to everything and we loved sitting out on the porch watching the golf carts go by. We took out the kayaks and SUP and had a great weekend overall.

This little house is right in the heart of town, walking distance to everything. It might be the cleanest home rental I have stayed in from the white linens to the spotless floor. If you plan to do activities on the island, this is the place. The bed is comfortable; there is a large television; and it has a full kitchen. The host is wonderful and even sent me a text that I could check in early because the cleaners were finished. There is also a place to store your luggage before or after your stay. My only suggestion would be to change out the chairs on the dining room table so that they are better sized to the table height, which would provide both a better dining experience and also a workspace. Other than that, it is perfect. High recommend!

Really nice and clean casita. The best location. 5 minute walk from the ferry. The toy room had everything. Bikes, canoes, SUP boards, golf clubs. Well organized. Marty was cool. Checked on us, and everything worked out. I would recommend a stay here for a couple or a small family of 4 or less.
5.0
This property is centrally located to the ferry, beach and shopping. If you like hiking/trail running/biking the trails are a short distance away.
The owner is detail oriented and responds quickly when contacted.
We liked having a balcony on each level. We enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again should we come back to Santa Catalina Island.

Marty is a great host, the place was clean and comfortable, location was close to everything, and the toy room was clean, organized, and has everything you need to have a good time in Avalon. We worked remotely all week and the internet was strong. We will be back!

We absolutely loved our stay here in the "yellow house". Not only is it lovely but the location is perfect... just up from and walking distance to everything in the main part of town. It had everything we needed from kitchen supplies to a first aid kit. The balconies overlooking the street and with a glimpse of the water were amazing to sit on with coffee. The communication with the owners was seamless. I almost don't want to give this great a review so we don't have competition when we come back... and we will for certain. We can't wait to stay here again!

My daughter and I had a wonderful, cool birthday weekend for her at the Yellow House. We were unable to use the toys but never the less enjoyed our weekend. We still did lots of activities. Thanks

The yellow house in Avalon was about as close to perfect for our needs. We went on a family vacation and brought my son's best friend with us (both 15). The access to the beach and to bikes made the trip even better than we expected. Communication was great overall and I hope we're lucky enough to go back and stay at this yellow house in the future!!!

Marty and the Catalina Yellow House are the absolute best - we love this place so much we’ve returned multiple times over the past few years. Walking in the door feels like our own personal vacation home away from home - clean comfortable easy breezy and close to everything! Check in is always simple, Marty is very communicative and proactive with helpful info (we’ve even lucked out a few times with early arrival/late check out). Can’t beat the 2 ocean view decks and bonus full “toy box” with all sorts of fun ways to enjoy Catalina!

I treated my sister to a mini vacation on Santa Catalina Island. The little yellow house was perfect, excellent location, Marty was outstanding as a host. Everything was as described in the listing. We could ask for no more. The house was exceptionally clean, excellent views from the front deck. We cannot wait to return.!

My friend and I went over (she had never been there). The house was right by the beach, the store, restaurants, and the pier, and within walking distance to everything. The house is super cute, and very clean, and will stay there again. Make sure you have your coffee on the third floor watch the water and relax. Thank you again for everything :)

My son and his wife stayed here on their honeymoon. They reported to me that the owner was communicative and helpful. They loved the location, the cleanliness and convenience of the unit and would definitely go back again.

Absolutely love Marty’s home. I’m always raving about it to my friends and even showing them so they can rent it in the future.
Location, location, location!!!! It can’t get any better than the yellow house. Right next to the beach and just doors down from Mi Casita, NDMK, and the donut shop. All my friends were jelly that we didn’t have to walk very far from the Catalina express or from the race finish line.
Very comfy accommodations for our family of 4. My teen stayed on the futon on the 1st floor and my 10 yo had the futon upstairs with the king bed.
Loved how we could watch the boats come in from our balcony. I had fun texting my friends welcome to the island.
Already booked this lovely home again for my upcoming races. Marty is such a wonderful host and makes the check in / out process a breeze.
Highly recommend this gem

Second time staying at this property. Both times this property has been perfect. Will only book this property in the future. It's that good!

Marty was extremely helpful and made the process of checking in and out very smooth. He was prompting answer any questions we had via text. The property is a short walk from the ferry, which was perfect for traveling with an infant. We didn’t even need to rent a golf cart our entire trip, as the grocery store and shops were all walking distance as well.

Beautiful place in a beautiful spot. 10/10 would recommend to stay at this gorgeous yellow home.

If I could give Marty, the host 10 stars I would! Very responsive and friendly! Gave us several restaurant recommendations with the check in instructions. Lobster Trap was outstanding for price and quality of food. The property was exactly as pictured, very clean and so convenient to downtown. Yes, a bit noisy during the day because of the golf carts but only if the windows/doors were open. In the evening there was no problem. As stated a great place to sit and watch people. Very comfortable, we would definitely stay there again! Thanks Marty.

Marty was super communicative, so no confusion with anything.Very fun location and super convenient to all of the tourists adventures. NDMK on the same street had amazing fish and chips...Marty gave wonderful restaurant suggestions in his information sheet. Avalon is a funky beach town and Marty's Little Yellow House has a funky feel, so it fits right in. Definitely recommend!!!

This property was perfect! Before arriving Marty sent super helpful instructions. The property was super clean and well kept. This stay was perfect for a couple because there was one large comfy bed! We loved having 2 floors and 2 balconies. We would 100% stay again!
