I will start off with the few positives about our stay.. great location and the host did let us check in early. Other than the two positives, I would not recommend staying at this property. The communication from the host was awful from the beginning—they mixed up our reservation dates, which caused a lot of confusion and stress. Once we arrived, things only got worse. The place was infested with ants; they were everywhere, including in our food and even got inside our luggage. To make matters worse, there was no air conditioning, making the stay uncomfortable, especially during the hot days. We anticipated Wi-Fi ( as everywhere I have ever stayed accommodated this) and then was told they do not provide it, and all the TVs in each room did not work. To top it all off, the host had the nerve to charge us extra for getting WHITE towels dirty—something that happens naturally when you're staying somewhere! The location was the only redeeming quality, but that wasn't enough to make up for the poor experience overall. Stay somewhere else if you can.

We enjoyed our stay. Communication was great. Great location and the home fit our needs.

Wonderful location; easy walk to most activities. It has the basics, but nothing to make you feel welcome/at home. We would have appreciated a book with local recommendations as well as instructions for using the grill, fans, tv, etc. It’s the little things that help make us feel welcome or not: such as kitchen was not stocked for actual meal preparation (no cutting board, only one knife besides the table knives, minimal storage or serving bowls, etc.). The kitchen sponges were nasty looking; new individually wrapped ones would go a long way….or at least having a dish cloth. The auto start on the BBQ grill is not working and requires matches or a lighter which are not provided. The manager told us to purchase some if we wanted to use it; we left our lighter for the next guests. Some blankets to use while resting on the couches would be inviting us to curl up and relax. And it was very HOT; there is no a/c so it would have been nice to have the windows open and the fans running in anticipation of our arrival. Luggage storage is crazy expensive at the dock; despite what some reviewers noted, we were told that we could not use the patio to store our bags either before official check in or after check out. The remote did not work for one of the lights/fans so we kept having to switch the working battery into the remote we needed. And there were crumbs/hair in the upstairs drawers. Despite these “little things” with realistic expectations, we would stay again.

Location was great. Unit was a good match for our needs. Comfortable furniture. Very clean. However, there was no face cloths,paper towels,tissues,toilet paper,washing soap and bath mats. There were two cracked wine glasses. No end tables in downstairs bedroom or next to couch in living room. The caretaker Eric was good. And the owner did respond with a delivery of missing linen. Overall had a good time and enjoyed this condo after we purchased needed items.

The house was spacious but was lacking a few things to make me be able to rate it higher. For a property that sleeps 8, the kitchen was not well stocked for utensils, cookware, tableware etc. There was no cutting board and the kitchen counters were tile. If you don’t plan on using the kitchen much it would have been fine

Everything about this property was perfect and we hope to stay again and get the front unit as well for the rest of our family. We loved the location and not having to climb up the hill from town which we’ve done in the past (Metropole, Whittley) and it’s so close to Vons. It was super clean and spacious with comfortable beds and lots of towels and extra linens. The manager was incredibly accommodating allowing us to check in early and Eric, the caretaker was so friendly and kind! I messaged him to ask if we could leave our luggage at the property for a few hours on the day we were leaving and he called me to say it was okay and gave me great restaurant recommendations and tips for future travel to Catalina. Only downside to this property was the lack of internet wifi but not a deal breaker.

Plenty of room for everyone, easy walking distance to pretty much anything in town. Clean

The house was nice and big . We had a great stay. There was a few things that we were not a fan of. Usually there are napkins or paper towels but we had to go buy some. There was no soap at all in the showers just hand soap, so we had to go buy all that stuff. The master bed was very uncomfortable and you would just sink in when you would sit on it. Also was very loud getting on and off. We were not a fan of having to wash our own dishes and put away because we are just relying on the people before to wash the dishes and I don’t think that’s very sanitary.
