Nice upper level property in a good location near supermarket and within blocks of Avalon shops and restaurants. Many windows to take advantage of views. We'll equipped kitchen. My only complaint is the lack of upper cabinets and the awkward placement of glasses and plates in lower cabinets.

Loved the location, unbeatable views from every window, close to all the activities but far from the madding crowds. Very convenient Vons around the corner to cook and grill. Perfect for small families looking to relax, unwind and feel the island vibe!

The location was incredible, had a beautiful view of the ocean. The place wasn’t very clean, blankets and pillows smelled dirty, furniture had old spots of food.BUT the worst thing about this place is the unbearable constantly smell of cigarette smoke from the neighbors on both sides of the house!!!!!!! This people smoke all day! I don’t think I’ll ever going to stay there again

Wow! Beautiful views!

Beautiful views in every direction! We loved being so close to shops, restaurants, the new Vons grocery was a block away, and still able to walk just a mile or two and be up in the mountains!

Loved this property! We did think there was 3 bedrooms & there was only two with a pullout bed in the living room. Other than that though we loved the location & the place itself!

Metropole, above the rest - of Avalon

We had a wonderful stay. Above the clatter of the town, but within walking distance of food, the beaches , the Casino, snorkeling, boating, hiking, golf - everything we wanted. The unit was clean, had all of the household basics to help us cook and relax. No complaints from the participants and the management was easy to get ahold of and pro-active for any problems.

Great time!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. It wasn't far from the main shopping area. The house had a great view and was comfortable. The only complaint I would have is that the water pressure isn't strong and the shower head is short, so I had to bend over to wash my hair.

Excellent stay!

The views were wonderful from this third story location. It was very clean and stocked with all our needs. The only suggestion I would recommend, offer a golf cart as an option. Catalina Vacation Rentals was very professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend. Thank you for a fun vacation on such a beautiful island.

Great spot for us

Came for a few days to dive amd this house worked well for our needs. Comfy beds, fans, cool breeze, and a great veiw. Needs a couple kitchen updates. Skillets, grill cleaning tools, and microwave not workimg but pretty understandable for a high use place. The hard floors need a good cleaning too but other then that it works very well. The Murphy bed is a huge plus. About a block foRom groceries and easy to walk to every part of Avalon. Overall it was a great stay.

Our daily walks climbing the hill and stairway to our unit was all worth it for the tremendous views from this little apartment. We rented this unit for the view and we’re not disappointed. We woke early enough to see the sunrise, and bought breakfast food at the nearby grocer to take advantage of leisurely mornings while Catalina came to life. The proximity to restaurants, and the village was exceptional. Nothing is fancy, but we had everything we needed for a great stay. I would definitely come back.

Super clean and bright

Property exactly as advertised- clean, very open and bright which we loved - lots of dishes and cooking pans and appliances. If walking, just know the hill is pretty steep so would be difficult if you are not in shape. Next door neighbor has young and noisy kids.

The stay was okay, but the pictures were absolutely misleading. The house was not as clean as I would have liked it to be; the kitchen, the dining room table, couches, and extra folding bed in the living room were old and dirty. The bathroom sink is tiny, though the bathroom is big enough for a larger sink. I was overall disappointed with this property.

Beautiful views, bright lights.

Just like the pictures online, the apartment had wonderful views and was quite clean, (except for dust underneath the beds). The bedrooms should have blackout curtains added because the neighbor next door kept very bright patio lights on all night. We didn’t mind the walk up the short hill, or the stairs. Some people might not be able to walk up 3 flights. I loved the large balcony and being away from the loud tourists who were closer to the waterfront.

Stayed for six nights as a family of five with three young kids. We loved this space! Beds for all of us (littlest slept on the murphy pull down bed in the living room), and woke up each morning with the sun. Views cannot be beat and windows everywhere give you a view of the whole town. We enjoyed watching boats come into the harbor each morning while we sipped our coffee. We had everything we needed to make simple meals, but some of the kitchen knives and pots and pans could use updating. Didn't mess anything up for us, just those things you notice when prepping dinner. Location was close to the grocery store and a block from the Catalina Museum. We brought a collapsible wagon which was a gamechanger for hauling bags and beach things each day with kids. Overall, unit was clean, friendly, great to come back to a hot shower after the beach and have a place to cook family meals and get a good rest for the next day. Would absolutely recommend.

Overall, I enjoyed the 360 degree views of the harbor and the mountains. I woke up early just to take in the views, the small hike up the hill is worth the views. The thing I disliked about the property is that there was dog hairs EVERYWHERE. The room with the queen bed towards the road at the entrance, the window leaked throughout the rainstorms. The room with the double twin beds, had no blinds, so NO privacy. In the living/kitchen area, there needs to be a child proofing gate or some sort of gate so that children don't wonder down those stairs and get hurt. The bathroom, I suggest adding a step for folks with bad knees, so that the tub doesn't act as knee knocker. Overall, it was a great stay. The house was stocked with essentials and the location was accessible to the VONS grocery store 5 min walk and to the main shopping area.
