The place was just as nice as advertised, and perfect for our group of 6 that were running that weekend. The location was perfect and in proximity to everything in Avalon, especially the start and finish.

Me, my wife, and friends stayed here for the Catalina Marathon. It was an ideal location with everything literally in walking distance. We would stay here again, for sure.
4.0 / 5.0
We chose this place because of the fireplace. We were disappointed when we got there and realized the fireplace didn’t work. In the photos it showed a working fireplace. The beds were not very comfortable. The carpet didn’t look like it had been cleaned in quite a while. The location was fabulous and the check-in was very simple. One big plus was a very well-stocked kitchen. Having two bathrooms was also an asset.
5.0 / 5.0
House was perfect! Cozy and quaint, 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms made this the perfect fit for 3 adult couples. Didn’t need to bring a single kitchen item as this house is fully stocked. Great location and close to the grocery store for any items. Close proximity to everything fun. Highly recommend this house.

All was well except the carpet in living room and beds.
Carpet in the livingroom is very dirty that my baby’s outfit got so dirty while playing in livingroom. My baby even got sick. Even we adults walking in there without shoes n socks our feet got so dirty. Carpet needs to be replaced.
Livingroom is not as big as shown in picture on the site.
Beds were small and not cozy.
Besides, everything was nice.

Great little place
Small quaint cottage centrally located. Clean with everything we needed for a family of 4 kids. We bought our bikes from the mainland which was fun and allowed us to get around easily. All in all a great stay.

The property was very quaint but blends right in the community. The hosts were pretty responsive to our needs. The modem did not have a power adaptor and they fixed it right away.

Great place. Would stay again. Only downside is SUPER spotty and slow internet, otherwise PERFECT!
Short proximity to Vons and pier. Clean and convenient.
5.0 / 5.0
Great house with everything you need.
This is a nice size house with a full kitchen and room to read, eat and share good times. It is two1/2 blocks from the Vons market and easy to get anywhere from the ferry to the restaurants to the avalon ballroom on foot.
For us (allover 60) the beds were a bit soft and the carpets in the living room and bedroom could be nicer but the kitchen made up for it all.
The evolve team were great, easy instructions good wifi!!!
We will probably return.!

Very nice
Very nice house. Had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Could have used more beach towels. Only big disappointment was the contact for the property. She did not “know” the property and couldn’t tell us if beach towels were provided when we emailed prior to our stay. And she did not respond to our emails so we called (said she doesn’t look at her email)! Said she would check about beach towels and get back to us but never did. She also said there were no beach chairs but there were 3. The amenities online listed beach chairs but didn’t mention beach towels.
We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great house. Great location
Enjoyed this historical house. It was clean, very well equipped and in a good location. Could use a little handyman’s attention and newer bed linens. Really enjoyed our stay.

4th of July week in Avalon
The house is as pictured, quaint. I might call it "grandma's beach house". The neighborhood is quiet. The living room still has it's original features from when the home was built for Wrigley's bookkeeper in 1929. The Kitchen and bathrooms have been updated. We loved the large, eat in kitchen. There were plenty (too many) of pots and pans, utensils, bakeware. There were many kitchen appliances, toaster, coffee maker, hand mixer, but no air fryer or instant pot. No crock pot either. The problem with all of the above was the disorganization. Mixer was not with the beaters. Some appliances did not have lids (or I just did not find them). The fridge worked well. The dishwasher was fine. The washer and dryer worked well too and it was nice to have them. The stove needed to be adjusted; the flames were so high it was making the pot bottoms black. The 2 back beds were comfortable. The biggest problem we encountered was the double bed in the bedroom across from the kitchen The 4 poster is a 3 poster only, broken off maybe years ago? The headboard is not attached to the frame and bangs every time you roll over. The whole thing is just falling apart. It sure could use a new queen bed/headboard/frame in there. Beware the lack of air conditioning on hot summer days. We found if we just left all the windows open, it was better. It is comfortable and homey and I would stay there again. It worked well for our 3 generation family of 8. Word to the owner: I would be happy to go organize the kitchen and bring a crock pot over for a free night's stay!

Cute, Clean and Affordable House
This was a very cute and cozy house. The kitchen was spacious and easy to use. The only complaints were, the beds were VERY soft (my aunt LOVED it) and noisy when you moved and a bedroom door handle kept falling off as well as a bathroom shower handle. I wouldn't let that stop you from renting this place, I just always appreciate honest reviews when I'm renting. Not a far walk to town. A good place to rent overall.

Great location!
This historic house was built in 1927 and maintains its quaint charm. The kitchen is updated and open, and the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms provided ample room for our group of 6. We appreciated the fans in each bedroom, too. Super easy walk to town and Descanso Beach!

Lovely Place to Stay
We enjoyed our time here so much! We had a comfortable stay with everything we needed. The location was an easy walk to browse the shopping and restaurants. We went to get some snorkeling equipment and walked to Lover's Cove for a fantastic first time snorkeling experience! We cooked in the house and walked just around the corner to the grocery store to get our supplies. It was a very quiet neighborhood. We loved our time here and made some special memories with our family being together.
5.0 / 5.0
What a lovely place! It provided all the amenities we needed, and provided a comfortable stay for relaxing and a place to cook together. It was an easy walk to all the things we wanted to see and do, but it was also a quiet neighborhood. It provided a wonderful spot for making some family memories.

Fun week, perfect house!
This house is very old, and has that visiting Grandma feel to some extent, but it is beautifully updated. Clean and has all the amenities we needed. There was plenty of room for the eight of us with the sofa bed in the living room. Smoke alarms were maybe a bit sensitive and went off when we cooked a frozen pizza but we had a wonderful family vacation and enjoyed Catalina island.
