2 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath, Townhouse Style Condo, Common Pool and Jacuzzi

My family spent 3 nights during the summer. The property was very clean and there appeared to be recent upgrades, most notably the flooring and living room furniture. We had plenty of room to relax and be comfortable. The main issue that keeps me from giving 5 stars is the outside noise. This property faces the outside street, and the sound from golf carts, both the late night crowd and the early morning people, kept waking us up. We did have the upstairs windows/slider open since it was warm summer weather, so the noise may not be as much of an issue in cooler weather with windows closed.

Apart from the property, I was disappointed that my booking through VRBO wasn't with an individual owner, but with Catalina Island Vacation Rentals. I ended up paying a fee to VRBO when I could have booked direct. Also, dealing with Catalina Island Vacation Rentals was a much more impersonal and inflexible experience than when I've dealt with individual owners. On the day of departure, when our breakfast restaurant wait was running longer than expected, we called to ask for a half hour extension. We were told we would be charged extra, so we rushed through breakfast to hurry back and check out. I was disappointed with their unwillingness to help their clients. I guess they have enough business that they don't have to . Next time I will specifically look for rentals by individual owners.
