The house was very spacious for my family of 8. Everything is in walking distance, I know you're probably tired of hearing that but its very true. I'm excited to book again in the future. Thank you so much for everything.

A nice place in a wonderful location. Very prompt in responding to any potential issues and problem.

Me, my wife, and friends stayed here for the Catalina Marathon. It was an ideal location with everything literally in walking distance. We would stay here again, for sure.

Catalina Marathon weekend

The place was just as nice as advertised, and perfect for our group of 6 that were running that weekend. The location was perfect and in proximity to everything in Avalon, especially the start and finish.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Aug 2025
From the Owner: "We’re sorry to hear that our home did not meet your expectations. We strive to maintain the charm of our 100-year-old home while keeping it updated and comfortable for guests. The living room and all bedrooms still feature the original hardwood floors, which were recently refinished, and the rest of the home has tile flooring. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, and all of this is accurately reflected in the listing photos.All bedding was replaced last fall, and the hair dryer, located in the large bathroom vanity drawers, is in working order. Regarding your comment about the floors, the entire house is swept and mopped before every arrival. It’s possible the natural patina of the dark hardwood floors was mistaken for dirt.Many guests have shared how much they appreciate the unique ambiance of the home, and we’re proud to offer a space that reflects its historic character while providing modern comforts."

This home has everything you need. Close to town. Very walkable and far enough away to be quiet at night. We walked everywhere, to and from even from the passenger ferry. I would suggest taking an extension cord. Outlets are not in convenient locations (100 yr old house). Also not all doors close/lock. Not an issue for us, but could be for some. Overall we (5 adults) enjoyed our stay very much.

A Birthday in Avalon

We chose this place because of the fireplace. We were disappointed when we got there and realized the fireplace didn’t work. In the photos it showed a working fireplace. The beds were not very comfortable. The carpet didn’t look like it had been cleaned in quite a while. The location was fabulous and the check-in was very simple. One big plus was a very well-stocked kitchen. Having two bathrooms was also an asset.

Location was great, home was comfortable and clean. The only 2 issues on the listing is that there was no mention of the fireplace not working as pilot light was not lit and that you would have had to buy wood and starter to warm the place up. The other issue was there was nothing on the listing that said the barbecue was not propane and one would have to buy briquettes and starter fluid.Veronica the contact was very responsive to my texts if we had questions.

Most allowed us to check in earlyWhich was nice. My only complaint is that the door knobs kept coming loose especially the one to the restroom. I was locked in there and couldn’t get out until my husband came with some tools to try and fix the doorknob to let me out. The room door knobs had the same issue. The property said it was water friendly to preserve water but the toilet kept running non stop. One of the showers was hard to use because when you turn the knobs no water came out. Location is decent and close to town.

From the owner: "We’re glad this guest appreciated the early check-in and convenient location. We were not aware of the issues mentioned during their stay, but we have a maintenance team available to resolve problems promptly once reported. The toilet has since been serviced, and we continue to keep the home well-maintained so guests can enjoy a comfortable experience."
