About this property

Classic California Beach House on Catalina Island

Catalina Island known as the island of romance is the perfect choice for visitors looking to escape and experience the warmth of a small-town in a fun island destination. Catalina has a year-round Mediterranean climate with warm sunny days and cool evening breezes. Fun activities include scuba, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, golf, parasailing, shopping, or just relaxing on the beach.

Our Catalina home is a wonderfully warm and sunny cottage just 2 blocks from the beach, shops, boating, and other entertainment. It is located on “the flats” in the center of town for an easy walk to all destinations. It has 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and sleeps up to 4 people. The home is decorated with a cheerful Catalina/beach theme. The home is available for a two night quick get-away for an extended rejuvenation stay.

Bed was very comfortable. Host is fantastic. Very family friendly. Close to dog park and shops. Perfect location. We had problems with the Internet and TV coming and going but I think the problem was happening across the island and possibly due to the big Internet outage that was a result of Amazon AWS issues and outages.

This quirky and darling beach cottage is the perfect location. Close to the beach and near Von’s on Catalina Island. With fans on and windows open we were quite comfortable. We love this home and return to it year after year.

Dive into Avalon like a Local

Easy access to all Avalon has to offer. We walked to casino point to scuba dive from shore, walk to the pier to board the dive boat, and then to the marlin club for post dive cocktails.

Cute beach cottage

It was a perfect size for our stay. It was great to have rooms, a kitchen & living room to hang out in after a day at the beach. Walking distance to just about everything not far from the beach or Grocery store at all.TV was not working for us we ended up renting movies from the library.
