We stayed at Bahia Vista C53 with our family, including young children. Unfortunately, we experienced a very serious safety issue with the unit’s entry door and lock.The electronic lock first malfunctioned and prevented us from getting into the unit. Then, after we were inside and had locked the deadbolt normally for the night, we woke up the next morning and could not get the deadbolt to open from the inside.We were trapped inside the third-floor unit for more than an hour with no usable way to exit. My husband tried to remove the deadbolt himself with the limited items we had available, but could not get it open.We called the emergency property manager, and I do want to give credit to the staff who responded. They acted quickly and were very responsive once we called. However, they were also unable to get the lock open and ultimately had to kick the door in to get us out.A temporary lock was installed afterward, but we stayed the remainder of our trip with a damaged entry door. There was visible daylight around the area of the temporary repair, which left us concerned about the security of the unit as well.This was not simply an inconvenience or routine maintenance issue. Being physically unable to exit a third-floor rental with small children is a serious fire and life-safety concern. Had there been a fire or medical emergency during that hour, we would not have been able to leave the unit.I contacted Catalina Island Vacation Rentals directly after our stay and
