Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kathy Arman and Linda Hayes
Summer Love Cottage is the realization of a family dream to own a vacation home on Catalina Island. We all grew up coming here on family boats and even owned a mooring at one time but now are landlubbers! A mother-daughter team (Linda & Kathy) manage the home.
Why they chose this property
We loved the cottage look, the spacious front room for family gatherings and those big windows. They had been painted shut for decades and after much work, we were able to get them to slide open again!
What makes this property unique
Large, open living room with two tables so one can be used for playing games or doing a puzzle. Light and bright kitchen is fully stocked and has a commercial 6 burner range. The griddle makes perfect pancakes! The deck is a perfect place for an outdoor meal or just hanging out to enjoy the mountain views. The dining room table seats 6, the game table 4 and the deck table 8.
