Gorgeous view but downsides on property
The stunning views help slightly ease the other glaring problems with this property. Very dated except the kitchen. Beds old and uncomfortable. One room in particular had garbage under the bed, stained and dirty sheets, human hair from the last occupants, and general lack of caring. Unfortunately after contacting Catalina Vacation rentals four times, they simply did NOT bother to return ANY of my calls to try and rectify the problems. Therefore as much as I loathe leaving a negative review I have to warn others. This is not a cheap rental by any stretch. So it would seem they have you hostage and “ too bad, so sad” is their policy. I have owned rental properties in the past and this was simply a disgraceful way to be treated. What a shame!

Curtains might be helpful to block the security lights from the outside at night. The overall experience was generally positive.

Pretty place in Avalon
Nice, spacious 4 BR, 2 level house. Great kitchen. Good bathrooms. The hill to the house is steep and you must go up an outside flight of stairs to enter. Otherwise no complaints. Several of us are in our 70s and did it okay.

Vacation Stay
Had a great vacation stay with plenty of room for whole family. The walk up the hill was worth the spacious room, balcony view and great kitchen facilities. It would help to advertise a child playpen is included in the amenities...it was nice to have but we rented one because it wasn't advertised. Great place to stay overall!

Catalina Stay in Late July
We stayed at 220W in late July 2024 - 3 nights. It was great! I will say that the house is located midway up a very steep hill and once you get to the house there is lots of stairs. I highly recommend using either Ride Circuit or hailing a cab when going to the house with luggage or those who struggle with walking up hills. Once you get in the house, they offer a garage code that is at street level. We found this useful to store things we didn't need up in the house like drag along wagons or water toys we brough along. The kitchen has an amazing gas oven/range and Subzero Fridge. I highly recommend parasailing and renting a cabana at Decantso Beach Club.

Perfect house for our group!
We loved this home. Very cozy, great kitchen (we cooked most of our meals) and the beds were comfortable. Overall, we highly recommend. Good communication with the property manager. We had a group of 6. It is a bit of a hike of the hill with luggage, but we managed!

Great location
We stayed 4 nights. The view from patio was the best. Kitchen is well stocked and top of the line appliances. Lots of space for families/couples. TV upstairs and downstairs is great for families with kids. Short walk to downtown area. Up hill walk home but definitely worth the view.

Perfect for two families with older children
Great meeting place for two families of four with school-aged kids (aged 9-11): we would definitely return. Worked great for us but wouldn’t necessarily recommend for younger kids due to glass table in living room, steep stairs to front door, etc. Overall clean and as-advertised. Short walking distance from everything, with the caveat that there is a steep a hill leading up to the property so best for the able-bodied. Enjoyed being part of a “locals” neighborhood as it gave the stay a more authentic and less touristy feel… we could escape the cruise shippers! Lovely balcony with a grill for outside meals and enjoying the sunshine. Very nice gas stove and range for cooking. Minimal toilet paper/paper towels provided so guests should be prepared to supply their own. Also, make sure to bring enough clothes as there is no washer dryer and you don’t want to spend your time at the laundromat!

The lighting at night in the upstairs living area was not very bright at night. Needs brighter bulbs. Could also have used some extra blankets (chilly weekend). Otherwise, nicely outfitted and comfortable.

Great Kitchen, Pretty Good Views
Lots of pots, pans, and utensils in the kitchen. Nice grill on the deck. Great for our group that likes to cook together. We had some issues with the hot water not being hot... but then it was hot again so who knows? House was not cleaned properly upon check-in, but management made it right in the end. I bring this up not to say this place is not clean (I expect the problem was a bit of bad luck on a busy week and is not the norm), but to highlight management's responsiveness: it's good. Would recommend!

Nice home on a very steep hill
Beautiful, clean home on a very steep hill with a nice view from the deck. Upside down floor plan. No laundry, stingy on towels.( Only one kitchen towel provided for a 5 day stay). No hot water in one bathroom. Called office, but they never delivered. Incorrect TV instructions, no batteries in a TV remote. Lots of beach accessories in garage was a nice surprise, chairs, umbrella, etc.

Perfect Weekend Retreat
Our family of 5 really enjoyed this home. It was so nice to sit outside on the deck & enjoy the beautiful view. The house was very clean & furnished with a really great beach/ocean decor. The beds were comfortable. Everyone had plenty of room & we were thrilled with the 3 bathrooms. We were all able to sit together at the dining room table for meals & the kitchen was stocked with anything you would need for cooking. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything we hoped for and more!
This was a women's trip and worked out perfectly. It was a great location and we worked up an appetite going up and down the hill and the stairs. The kitchen was fantastic, the bedrooms great and it was wonderfully well appointed. We especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony for happy hour and early morning coffee. We could tell sometime enjoyed decorating the home with beach themed touches. I would highly recommend and would stay here again anytime.
