Great house with perfect location
The layout of the house was perfect for a family of 5. It was spacious enough to enjoy and also perfect walking distance to the main strip and beach.

Winter delight
So well decorated, furnished and clean! A perfect cottage for a couple or a small family. The location is very convenient to the center of Avalon. The windows all have nice curtains, which we mostly kept closed because it’s not very private at front or back, and side view is not lovely. (Can’t be helped given the location.) Rental company is also very good.

Awesome house near the beach
Didn't take long to walk from the house to the main strip of shopping and food. Beach was the same distance, maybe a 5 minute walk to Vons. Great location, convenient as heck, and close enough we could walk to the house from the ferry.

20th Anniversary
Home location is centrally located. easy to get to the market, restaurants and shops. Beds were very comfortable and the house well appointed. Use the toaster oven not the toaster (it burns even at the lowest setting). TV flippers don't work very well but there is so much to see and do the digital wasn't missed. Fun time. Would come back to this house again.

Too Cute
This cottage was perfect for our small family of five. Love the vaulted ceilings in the living room and the decor. It was nice to be able to access the keys on site and not have to deal with lines at a rental office.

A Cute Bungalow Close To It All
We spent Labor Day weekend at this house in Avalon. We are a family of 5, and the stay was very comfortable. My kids all slept well on the bunk bed and the couch (my son’s choice over the sleeper sofa). The location is perfect. Only steps to the center of Avalon. Would gladly stay here again.

Close to the center of activity but far enough away to not be noisy. Lovely clean house. Great communication with the management team who got us in earlier that expected to the house.

Adorable Catalina cottage
This was a perfect wknd getaway cottage . Close to town (just a block from the water) walking distance to everything -no need for a cart unless you wanted to go up the hill to airport or Hamilton cove . Cottage had all the amenities needed. Has a small ice cooler & beach chairs and floats w pump for a beach day . Has ac but we just used the box fans /ceiling fans and the temperature was great w the windows open . House manager never responded but it wasn’t a dire need, but would have been nice to get a response. The only complaint was ant issues but a can of raid left under the kitchen sink solved that . Would totally rent again for a visit to the island . Suggest having a brush hanging outside by door to brush sand off feet.

Perfect Location
My family and I had a wonderful time staying in the cottage! The location was super easy and close to the best restaurants and shopping. The house stayed nice and breezy and only got warmer once temperatures were in the 90s, but the air conditioning units were new and ran quiet. My toddler loved the bunk beds and we found a pack n play in the closet that we were able to use for a nap one afternoon for him, which was great. He also loved the variety of television shows including Netflix. The unit was very clean and the shower was great! I also loved all the windows and skylights. The best part about our stay was that the property manager, Veronica, was easy to get in touch with and she provided great suggestions for things we needed. She was super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be staying here again!

Did not feel safe/very close loud neighbors
next door neighbor is just 4 over flowing garbage cans away ie 4 feet. I am not sure how many people live next door maybe 20 with the amount of noise and foot traffic. The photos of this place are misleading. would not stay her again or recommend it.
