Great beach house feel, love the great room area with kitchen, living and dining space all together, plus a cute closed balcony room adjacent. Short walk to waterfront and restaurants, grocery store, golf course, etc.

Avalon Paradise
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this updated townhome. It’s in a great location, very comfortable and tastefully furnished. The manager, Veronica, is very responsive and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Wonderful home, loved the open floor plan and you can’t beat the location. Can walk to Vons easily and literally anywhere else as it’s very centrally located to shops and restaurants. We easily cooked meals since the kitchen was so well stocked. Would reserve again.
Our visit to Avalon to attend the Catalina Island Conservancy Ball was a great success due to our stay here. Great location, easy walk everywhere. Good communications, property worked well for our purposes, will stay here again if available.

Catalina House
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Catalina and we loved the house! So cozy and nice and everything worked fine.
Very nice place minutes from the ferry and a block from the grocery store. Much more modern than a lot of the old cottages on the island. Had a great time & would definitely return.
We loved this property. We were travelling with our three adult children and their spouses and it was a great place for all of us. Fantastic location, not too far from the ferry and close to the shops. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable.
We had a wonderful thanksgiving holiday!
My 91 year grandmother and a few family members enjoyed the holiday on Catalina. The location was easy to find and so close to all that we needed. The staff were wonderful to work with. We all can’t wait to go back again.
We loved staying here! The only issue we had was a water leak due to rain, but otherwise had a great stay! Beautiful great room, kitchen, and dining table. One bedroom with en suite bathroom, 2 secondary bedrooms share a separate bathroom. Our 3yo loved the bunk bed!
Very nice and walkable to everything in Avalon - clean, bright and even a view of the ocean from the sunroom. Beautifully remodeled and very comfortable. Only drawback was noise from the lower unit well past quiet time of 10 pm on two of the nights.
Beautiful updated home with all the amenities. Stayed for three days with family. Loved that it was located so close to town. We were able to walk everywhere, no need for a golf cart. Only issue was getting a hold of the actual host. Had to go through a few steps to get that info, but once we did, it was smooth sailing from there. Will definitely be booking again!

Property is in Disrepair - We Felt a Bit Ripped Off
It was a drag that we couldn't open the place up and enjoy the fresh air. The hardware on every door, including the front door does not work properly. The front sunroom doors and windows cannot be opened due to missing or broken hardware. If you try to open a window, it could fall out. All other windows do not function. The rear door is held closed with fishing wire and balcony is a mess. Many items broken throughout the place. Stair Railing falling off the wall. Floors were not clean.

Rat Problem
I gave this property a low rating because of the rat problem. There was a lot of moving around above our heads while in the bedrooms. This forced 2 people in our party to sleep in the living room for 2 nights. I called the manager and reported the problem and she did send someone out to take care of the situation. It was obvious to us this is an ongoing problem in this property because there were traps already set in the rafters overhead in the living room.
You can imagine how we all felt knowing that!
Another negative was the lock on the front door - easy to lock from inside but very difficult to lock when leaving for the day, so we left it unlocked.
Also, there should be a covering on the window in the master bathroom and the door in that bathroom that leads to the outside patio does not close/lock.
All of that being said, the unit was clean and very conveniently located.

Girls weekend
The weather did not cooperate for our trip, due to unusual California rain. The proximity to restaurants, groceries, shopping & the Ferry was very much appreciated! Easy walk to the golf cart rental too. We appreciated the cozy open floor plan with a gas fireplace! Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the designer touches, really pretty place. The large sectional and dining table had plenty of room for our group. Host was very responsive throughout the trip when we had questions. Loved Avalon, would love to come back when the sun is shining!

Great Place
This is an ideal location in town. The place is very nice with a large open central area to enjoy with family. The rooms are small, but that is not a problem since the central area has so much room and places to hang out. The place was recently renovated and still needs some work. The water pressure is not that great and the kitchen sink was a cold dribble at best. The appliances are new and work great if you are planning on cooking while there. I would stay there again.
