This house was amazing! The location cannot be any better! It was quick walking distance from the ferry. We were allowed to check in early as they had finished cleaning which was super nice since we had bikes, fishing poles, etc… communication was so easy! The house is roomy and well maintained. They had an umbrella, cooler for our use. The kitchen is well stocked with enough pots, pans, silverware, etc…. I would not hesitate for even a second to rent this house again. Thank you for a memorable stay in Catalina! We will be back for sure!!!!

Lovely House in Perfect Location

I stayed here for a long weekend with 4 friends and can't recommend it enough. The house is lovely and had everything we needed, and the location could not be more ideal. Highly recommend for families or groups of friends.

We loved our stay in Catalina. The Big Blue House was a great location near the main shops of Avalon and they had plenty of beds to accommodate the group that we had there. Glad we decided to stay there and I’m sure we will again in the future.
