Having no air conditioning in the house made it a very uncomfortable stay despite paying a premium amount for three nights. No golf cart facility, dated furniture, old TVs which did not work. Definitely felt overcharged and would not recommend.

Absolutely loved this house. Spacious layout with older couches that were low but pretty comfy. Loved the pictures throughout the house with Catalina Island spots. Great breeze throughout the house and bedrooms were good in size. Would definitely book this place again.

Cute place with lots of charm. The rental company that handled the booking was very nice and made check in very simple. Had a great time. The place was bigger than we expected with lots of room to accommodate our large group. Super convenient location close to the beach, easy to walk to everything but far enough away from the noise. Would definitely stay again.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, location
The property was well situated and every place of interest was nearby in walking distance. The beds were comfortable, good towels and the place was clean. Good water pressure and hot water. The house is older, maybe 1940s and does not have AC, only old ceiling fans in some of the rooms, and portable fans, so it does get warm and muggy. It rain and we had a leak into the living room. The company sent someone immediately to "fix it", but the technician could not do anything since there was a crack on the upstairs deck. The furnishings and appliances are maybe from the 1990s. No TV channels available, the TVs are bulky style with VCR and DVD attached. The downstairs bathroom's old hair blower was broken. The kitchen is sparsely equipped with mismatched dishes, cups and old pans. I would not plan on substantially cooking here. It took many messages and a call to VRBO to get check in instructions, which did not come in until about 3 hours before check in time. This was unsettling since we had to travel far to get to LA for the ferry, and we were not sure about being able to get into the property until we were almost there. Overall OK stay because of location, but it is overpriced for what you get.

Comfortable Little Cottage

Enjoyed The location of the home to grocery store, restaurants, local activities. Don’t worry about prior post regarding the TVs….. If you’re in Catalina Island, there’s no need to be watching TV as there is a lot of outdoor activities to do.

Pleasant stay!

Nice cottage with good location. Got warm with just the fans but better at night. Cottage is outdated, downstairs shower had some problem with water switching to hot/cold on its own. Upstairs shower is dark. Beds were comfortable.

1983

Furniture, TV's, everything was from Mexico 1983. Way too primitive for this price point. Neighbors were local housekeepers... not that friendly to visitors.

Great location but…

This cute house was a nice place to stay. Everything was the way it was advertised except none of the TVs would work. No problem I say, I’ll just let the property manager know. I sent two messages but all I heard were crickets. It’s like the manager went on vacation or to the hospital. I suggest a phone number for future guests to call.

Good value for money

Very clean and comfortable, walking distance to beach and attractions. First let me say that I would recommend, so please don't think this is a negative review. It would have been 5 stars on all criteria, but the ones that were 4 stars instead are: Overall- 1 star reduced because the downstairs shower and kitchen sink hot water is spotty, it kind of gets warm and cold. I could never get the kitchen sink water to be hot, it would get fairly warm but that was it. The shower was the same, however the upstairs shower was great. Neighborhood-- the only neighborhood location in Catalina I give 5 stars is houses on Eucalyptus Street, where cart traffic is blocked. Until the day comes that Avalon can support a 100% electric fleet of golf carts, all other locations will have noise and air pollution. This is not this property's fault, but an overall Catalina experience. Maybe I'm a grumpy old man that doesn't like noise and fumes, but the kids didn't care :-). Overall, thanks for the stay, we enjoyed it!

Cozy, clean, just right

It was our first time staying on Catalina and I think this home felt like the island. Everything was within walking distance, including the ferry, groceries, restaurants, etc. As a party of four with young kids (3 and 5), the home was perfect as it was in a quiet neighborhood and was plenty comfortable with lots of space. I enjoyed napping with the balcony door open pulling in the cool ocean breeze. My kids liked the board games and puzzles. My wife enjoyed the great water pressure in the shower. We had a great weekend here.

Lovely place for a long weekend getaway with family. 6 people stayed comfortably. The alcove is great for kids to have their own place to hang out. Very convenient location--close to beach and Vons. The balcony was nice for a quiet breakfast in the morning sun.

Well located, and enjoyed our stay

Located just a few blocks from the main retail / restaurant frontage street in Avalon and in a relatively quite area. Sleeps 4 comfortably in 2 rooms. The sofa bed was very old, in bad shape, and needs replacement. The management company responded promptly and brought over a self-inflating air mattress that took care of our needs. Everything else was as advertised. The golf cart pictured in the ad does not come with the rental.

Love, love, LOVE this home!

I am a frequent visitor to Avalon and have stayed in many of the hotels and rentals around town... The BEAUTIFULLY spacious & clean home at 309 Clemente Avenue is now my absolute favorite!!! JUST far away enough to have quiet from the noise of hourly taxis to-and-from the mole, the necessary but noisy daily trash collections at the town center, and the tour buses. The home has a beutiful kitchen and sumptuous top floor master bedroom. I am already planning my next stay here!
