Check in was simple and the host was available to answer questions as needed. Easy walk to town and did not require a golf cart like my previous stays elsewhere.
Everything about this stay was perfection. Check-in process was hassle free, house was big, clean, well maintained, and in a great location with easy access to DBC and local restaurants. 10/10 recommend for a fun weekend stay.
Good sized house in the center of Avalon. We enjoyed our stay immensely Walking distance from the beach and from a large supermarket. Good restaurants nearby.
I stayed here for a long weekend with 4 friends and can't recommend it enough. The house is lovely and had everything we needed, and the location could not be more ideal. Highly recommend for families or groups of friends.
We loved our stay in Catalina. The Big Blue House was a great location near the main shops of Avalon and they had plenty of beds to accommodate the group that we had there. Glad we decided to stay there and I’m sure we will again in the future.
We are repeat visitors of this house. We absolutely loved our stay and the house was great! I highly recommend it and plan to return. The house had everything we needed and was in a perfect location.
This place was in an excellent location and perfect for our family. It was very clean upon arrival. Host was easy to communicate with and very helpful. We had a lovely stay.

The Big Blue House was fun and great!
Might be a good idea to update the pictures, there's a lot of modern accommodations that aren't shown on the listing.
Lovely house with the beach just a short walk away. It was awesome. The full kitchen allowed us to enjoy a home-cooked meal together one night, which was really special. Would definitely come again!

We had an amazing time staying in the big blue house over labor day weekend. The proximity to the restaurants, shops, and activities is amazing. The host was very communicative. We loved hanging out in the front porch room with the window open on warm days. The kitchen is well stocked with dishwear and amenities. Very close to Vons to walk and get groceries.

About the host
Hosted by Allison ( island manager) Debra Markey (owners)
My wife Debbi and I are property managers and we both own & manage 4 other San Diego vacation beach rentals along with other rental properties both commercial and residential. We both love to travel trying different place's around the world. We take great pride in all our properties and love to get reviews and feedback from all our guest to enable us to improve.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. Built in1929 and still retains much of it's old charm and is just a great house to bring family and friends, plenty room and great for kids. Traditionally we spend Thanksgiving with family and now grandchildren. We both love going to Catalina to relax and enjoy all the things the Island has to offer and because of it's great location, we can walk everywhere.
What makes this property unique
'Location!', It's only a block from the town and walking distance to any and all you want to see and do. The house was built in 1929 and is cozy with new and old features that gives it the feel of Old Catalina. One really unique feature that everyone loves is the big sliding window in the sun room. It's a great place to relax as the sun sets and have your favorite drink of choice.
