About this property

Classic California Beach House on Catalina Island

Catalina Island known as the island of romance is the perfect choice for visitors looking to escape and experience the warmth of a small-town in a fun island destination. Catalina has a year-round Mediterranean climate with warm sunny days and cool evening breezes. Fun activities include scuba, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, golf, parasailing, shopping, or just relaxing on the beach.

Our Catalina home is a wonderfully warm and sunny cottage just 2 blocks from the beach, shops, boating, and other entertainment. It is located on “the flats” in the center of town for an easy walk to all destinations. It has 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and sleeps up to 4 people. The home is decorated with a cheerful Catalina/beach theme. The home is available for a two night quick get-away for an extended rejuvenation stay.

Bed was very comfortable. Host is fantastic. Very family friendly. Close to dog park and shops. Perfect location. We had problems with the Internet and TV coming and going but I think the problem was happening across the island and possibly due to the big Internet outage that was a result of Amazon AWS issues and outages.

Dive into Avalon like a Local

Easy access to all Avalon has to offer. We walked to casino point to scuba dive from shore, walk to the pier to board the dive boat, and then to the marlin club for post dive cocktails.

Cute Catalina Cottage

This quirky and darling beach cottage is the perfect location. Close to the beach and near Von’s on Catalina Island. With fans on and windows open we were quite comfortable. We love this home and return to it year after year.

Cute beach cottage

It was a perfect size for our stay. It was great to have rooms, a kitchen & living room to hang out in after a day at the beach. Walking distance to just about everything not far from the beach or Grocery store at all.TV was not working for us we ended up renting movies from the library.

Darling Cottage that always delivers

Check in was very simple, and there are no complicated checking out requirements. The cottage's owner is instantly responsive to any and all needs, and the house is perfectly situated close to the beach and Von's. We stay here year after year, and are always enchanted with the charm and historical background of the cottage. It is not for the fancy traveler, but it is perfect for someone who wants clean, comfortable and charming housing close to the action but still in the convenient flats of Avalon. The kitchen has all major appliances, and there is laundry.

House is nice. The back bedroom has a mattress that is as hard as concrete. I mentioned this 2 years ago when we stayed at home and was told mattresses were new. Miscommunication somehow but made for 4 nights of rough sleep. It’s a shame because other than it being warm with no A/C it’s the perfect house for our annual trip
