A magical stay in Avalon!

We loved staying at The Old Turner Inn! The hosts were fantastic, the kitchen was very well stocked (and my family are big cooks!), the location is great and super central to everything. It seemed like the house had been recently remodeled, and very nicely. Everything was comfortable and tasteful. We hope to stay again sometime!

Extended family vacation

We came to celebrate our Great Grandma's 80th birthday. Asheley and Dennis went above and beyond to make everything perfect for her and for us. They are truly next level. And the house was perfection itself!!

40th Anniversary Trip 2024!

Our family of 11 stayed for 3 days at the Old Turner Inn and it was beautiful! With 5 bedrooms (each having their own bathroom) a large kitchen and enclosed patio areas for eating and playing games- the Old Turner Inn did not disappoint. The owners were wonderful and the location is a great location- close to the beach, active areas, shopping and parks for the littles. If you have a large group or a small group but you want room to spread out- this is the place to book in Catalina. It will not be our last stay...

Our Memorable Avalon Experience

I have been taking my family to Avalon for almost a decade now, and it’s a very special place. Due to our kids' schedules over the years, it’s been tough to maintain consistent dates, so we’ve lost access to certain places where we made a lot of memories. In this case, it was a godsend. The place was exceptional. Every detail was perfect, and each room had its own charm. The place was immaculate, and the location was ideal—close to the beach and centrally located enough to walk to the grocery store in just a few minutes. We were truly blessed to have found 232 Catalina. Lastly, but most importantly, Dennis and Asheley were incredibly welcoming, supportive, and easy to work with. They went out of their way for us and genuinely cared about ensuring we had a great experience. We are immensely grateful for their hospitality and kindness.

Great Experience!

Property was well-located 2 blocks off the Avalon pier behind Vons. Easy walk to everything…. Home was clean, recently removated and in great working order with great interior design and furnishings. Our family of 11 was quite comfortable. The hosts were very thorough and responsive. I would highly recommend this property!

What a great house

What a fabulous property. The cleanliness was outstanding. Location is great, close to town and just across the street from Vons. The Hosts were very accommodating and communicated far more than anyone would expect. We will definitely be back!

HIGHLY recommend staying here because of the PERFECT LOCATION: walking distance to downtown, Vons is literally across the street and you can see the ocean from some rooms! Thank you for this special place and now memory!

About the host

Hosted by Asheley

We fell in love with Avalon decades ago and know that you will, too! We love to "take a break" and in a little over an hour by boat (or 15 minutes by helicopter!) breathe a sigh of relief to be back on Catalina Island. The feeling is very much like being transported to a little gem of a European harbor but without the long plane ride!

Why they chose this property

Location is everything! Our property is in the heart of Avalon on one of the most historic streets first known as "Canvas Cottage City" in the late 1800s. Within 2 blocks, you can walk to the beach, Von's grocery store, miniature golf course, island tour buses, a dozen restaurants, golf cart rentals, fishing off of the Green Pleasure Pier, parasailing, and shopping. Walking distance to the beautiful gem of a museum and the famed landmark known as the "Casino" is only 15 minutes where you will experience one of the most gorgeous examples of architecture in the Art Deco period. Daily walk-up tours are available with movies being shown in the theater on weekends. Concerts and events in the upper ballroom happen year-round. Walk a little past the Casino to Descanso beach to enjoy outdoor dining, ziplining, or rent a cabana for the day. From our house you can head west and play a round of golf, a game of tennis or pickle ball at the Country Club, and catch the hiking trails at the Wrigley Memorial ti experience the island's unique and diverse wildlife and abundant nature. Or, you can do nothing at all but listen to the wind through the majestic, old eucalyptus trees across the street and read a book to rejuvenate your soul.

What makes this property unique

Very few properties in Avalon exist to accommodate a family group of 12 - we know, because we are a large family, too! Undergoing a complete restoration in 2023, The Old Turner Inn was made new in all the right ways: new surfaces, furnishings, appliances, modern a/c systems, furniture and decor where it matters while keeping the beautiful antique elements that have made it unique for nearly 100 years.
