Charming Catalina Cottage, Pet Friendly, Large Porch, 2.5 Blocks to Beach

My wife and I regularly lease larger homes in Avalon for extended family summer stays but decided to rent this smaller unit for our personal use this spring. We were delighted to stay in this traditional bungalow style home, so typical of the island. However, unlike many of other homes on the island this one was meticulously clean and fresh and well-maintained, with everything we needed to be self-sufficient. Good audio/visual equipment, a stock of movies and excellent wifi. The front porch is a real treat in Avalon, because half the fun is people-watching. This a much better than average rental unit. We recommend it highly.

This is a darling,comfy, homey and clean place to stay. No negatives, really. I would say that the 2nd bdrm is really for kids. Also, Sumner seems to be a busier street with lots of Golfcart noise. I thought the price was fair. And the Catalina Island Office was great. We had a good time.

Great porch! Just a few blocks away from shops and the beach. Fun fitness park for kids just a few blocks away. We loved our stay at this house.

We loved our stay in the cottage and on Catalina Island. The cottage itself is very charming and cozy, and well maintained. We were surprised how noisy the area is though given that there are few cars on the island. The golf carts come flying down the street!

What a perfect vacation house. It had everything we needed. The decor was so beachy and fun. The kitchen had everything we needed. We used the wagon provided to get groceries. The location is perfect. We had one repair issue, the shower curtain rod, and it was remedied quickly. The showers had lots of hot water.

We spent a lot of our time at the house on the wonderful front porch. There's also a back patio with a table and Weber grill.

We'll be coming back!
