House was quirky and fun with lots of rooms for kiddos to explore! Great kitchen for cooking at home and a deck with a view you cannot beat! Highly recommended!

Even though the weather wasn’t great, we were able to enjoy the large house and incredible view of the harbor and casino. I highly recommend this house for a large group. We come to Avalon every year and we definitely want to rent this house again.

First of all, the view is fantastic. It's even prettier in person. We liked the layout of the house (except we didn't like the room with the bunk beds because it was dank and unwelcoming). The decks are spacious and probably the best feature. We took a taxi from the shore but walked to town for the rest of the stay by using the stairs. The stairs are up the hill a few houses away (with the metal handrail next to a hydrant if you are interested). The house is well furnished. However, the mattresses in the top bedroom were hard and of poor quality. The guests in the other rooms with the full beds had no complaints. What did surprise us was the home was not well stocked. For example, there was a partial roll of paper towels and no replacement. There were two dish towels for a week long stay. There were small soaps in the bathroom and shampoo that was smaller than travel size. Sample size at best. The home sleeps 10 and we had six. It's a good thing we all brought our own shampoo and conditioner and soap. It was just unexpected given the cost and the number of people who can stay not to have basic shampoo and soap that would last more than a day. Other than that, it is quiet, serene and beautiful.

Great view! And fully equipped kitchen. Steps down to bedrooms were no problem. Will be back!

This was our second year at this property and it’s very nice. We are a group of senior professional and retired ladies and this house works well for us.

The balcony views were great - unfortunately that was the only expectation met. This older house has not been updated or upkept very well. Good luck getting hot water to the bottom level and the beds are exceptionally bad. Would definitely go for something newer or closer to town.

This is the second summer that I rented this property. Since I was a young girl in the early 50’s my parents brought my brother and I for a week in Avalon. We loved everything about it. From the big ship SS Catalina, speedboats coming out to great the ship and the big circle of people welcoming us with Duke leading the fun. My husband and I brought our children each summer for a week and now that I have grandchildren I bring them and their parents. I just turned 80 and hope there are some more memories to be made.

The house was beautiful with beautiful views from the balcony, except the way to get up to the house was a a-lot of challenges, need a ride to and from, costly. However if we were told about an easier way to and from a short cut down from the left side through the stairs from the neighbors would be very nice. But we didn’t find out until the last day. The beds were cheap and uncomfortable could be updated for the price cost per night. For us ladies, we need a hair blow dryer, which there were none in the house. It was very inconvenience for us. We had a good time stayed in the island.

Easiest process to rent, our 1st experience and it was a breeze.

This view will change your life! The outdoor deck is the perfect place to take in the beauty of Catalina. Conveniently located stairs that will take you right to center of town in less than 5 minutes. The place is immaculate! Perfect size for 10 people. The house has basically everything that you could need. The beds and bedding were all very comfy. The staff was quick to respond to any query we had. The feel is of an elevated grammas beach house. Truly loved this spot and will be retuning asap! Only critiques would be the following: No sponge provided for dishes The outside trash was overflowing onto the street and made it impossible for us to fully take our trash out. Very minor issues. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a blast with 10 people...moms, childhood friends, daughters and friends. The house was perfect and the views gorgeous!!

Everything was good love the location the only thing it needs is a gulf cart to go places it is up in the hill so you will need Transportatio to get around and when I asked the office they said there is no gulf cart available for this house , so that’s the only thing I wish it was available, other wise you have to call for a taxi . Love the house

Sensational view, great location and plenty of room for all

Views are beautiful, and the house is old-fashioned and charming. Kitchen was well-supplied, and everything was clean. We were there during an exceptionally chilly week, so appreciated the extra blankets. Thank you!

Easy and wonderful getaway, we are grateful for the comfort of the space to gather and be in joy.

We loved the large deck with amazing views of the harbor and island. The basement with all the rooms is a bit dated, but kitchen was removed. Plenty of room for 8 adults.

This house had a spectacular view! It was very clean and we all had comfortable beds. Stringlu recommend this place!

Great time. Loved all the stairs. Got a great work out!!

We enjoyed our stay, although we were fairly handicapped without a golf cart. We had several family members who were unable to make the walk up or down and had to use taxis ALOT... The accomodations were great, although a bit outdated! The view was AMAZING as we watched storms roll in and out!

The pluses are plenty... the balcony is probably the stand out here. Great spot for breakfast, cocktail hour, dinner, and just hanging out. It does get hot in the afternoon. Plenty of room for blended family of 9. Great location with an outstanding view. Kitchen has very nice upgraded appliances, however the rest is just so-so. I would say... if the house had air-conditioning and came with a golf cart, we would rent again.

We rented this home to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with our immediate family. While at the house, we spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the stunning view. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds and bathrooms were plentiful. A long staircase just down the street led directly into town, where we all found various activities to enjoy. A wonderful memory we'll all savor for a long time to come!

Was super excited for this stay with some girlfriends to get away, relax and enjoy some time together. I put a lot of time and effort into finding a home and planning this weekend. After the first night of staying there I was getting dressed and noticed something funky on the blanket - the side I was sleeping on in the main bedroom. I looked closer, blood. (with I could post photos, convenient there is nowhere to post) It most likely was from the people that stayed before us because it didn't look like it had been there too long. I went on to look more and there was blood on the pillow case, on the pillow, that I put my face on that night. Disturbing. I kept looking, there was more blood and snot like looking residue on many of the pillows and comforter. I notified the management later that afternoon, they weren't even really that concerned. He actually asked why it took me so long to tell them - I had reservations, expensive ones at the Beach Club - so wasn't able to swing by earlier. Either which way. I asked if they could replace the sheets/comforter, later we received a knock at the door someone just dropped off sheets - that's it and no comforter. I asked for a refund. I spent WAY TOO MUCH money to have an experience like that. I spoke with Alan, I followed up the next day when I got back (Monday) - he responded Tuesday, saying he would get back to me within 48 hours. I have sent several follow up emails - no response. I have called the management number - no response. I called Alan's direct number - disconnected. I am a fair person, I actually wasn't even going to write this review if they got back to me and agreed it was probably best for me to receive a refund for such a bad experience. But it's taking pretty dang long. I still have hope they will make it right. Place had a stellar view, inside is really outdated.

Good for large family. Great views. Kitchen/living room area nice. Bedrooms need upgrading.

We had a great trip and really enjoyed sitting on the deck enjoying the view
