Avalon's Only Waterfront Beach House! Best Location! Best Views! Best Deck!

The GRISHAM HOUSE: AVALON'S ONLY WATERFRONT BEACH HOUSE!

You can throw a stone into the water from our spacious 65 FOOT WIDE wrap around deck with SPECTACULAR, sweeping views across the harbor, the town, the beach and the ocean. This is the ideal place for dining, drinks, entertaining, sunbathing, playing cards or simply watching the world go by. You'll never want to leave!

We are superbly located just steps away from the beaches, shopping, restaurants, bars and all the recreational activities like swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, parasailing, basketball, volleyball and the many great sightseeing tours which are available. We are also a very short, 2 minute level walk from the boat dock.

During the day, we are right in the middle of all the activity Avalon has to offer; full of hustle and bustle. And nearly everyone who takes the ferry walks right past our property, so if you enjoy people watching, you'll be in heaven. At night however, after the 'day trippers' go home and the businesses below us close, it is pretty calm and quiet.

Our beloved home is 110 years old, but it is well cared for, comfortable and cozy. It's a classic beach house where couples and families will make lasting memories. BUT if you need a "room service Mariott hotel type experience" then you should go look elsewhere.
Our superior location and wonderful and spectacular view decks is what attracts guests to us year after year. Several of our regulars have been coming for more than 20 years. THERE IS NO FINER SPOT FOR A FAMILY VACATION OR A COUPLES GETAWAY.

This unit is located on the middle floor of a 3 story property. THERE IS NO ELEVATOR. This unit is 14 steps up from the ground. On the ground floor are 2 clothing/gift shops, an electric bike rental, a snorkel rental, and a psychic.

This Middle Floor Unit sleeps 8. It consists of:
- Bedroom with Queen bed, small TV & private 3/4 bath
- Bedroom with Double (full) bed & private 3/4 bath
- Bedroom with Queen bed and great harbor view
- Bedroom with Queen bed & small TV
- There is a 3rd Full Bathroom off the living room & the living room also has a small TV.
- Wireless Internet Access
- Gas BBQ
- Fully stocked kitchen with electric stove, microwave and plates, cups, utensils, blender and basic coffee maker.
- Wall Furnace. The is no air conditioning.

As mentioned, our property is 110 years old and sound can travel between floors. Therefore, unless you have rented both units, we have a 'Quiet Time' policy after 10:00 PM and before 8:00 AM, where you must reduce the volume of your TV, music and conversations.

- NO SMOKING and NO PETS ALLOWED.

WHY STAY ANYWHERE ELSE? Our property offers you the BEST location; the BEST beachfront viewing decks in town; and the BEST vacation rental value for your money. We get repeat guests year after year; you'll see why! (Go online to VRBO or CIVR Catalina Island Vacation Rentals to compare our rates with other properties that don't even have views!).

This property is best suited for 2 families; 1 large extended family or 3-4 couples. . There is no air conditioning, although it's not needed very often at the beach. We do have portable fans. Lastly, we do NOT have a golf cart.

Sorry, but this is our family vacation home and it is not our policy to rent out to groups such as bachelor/bachlorette parties; fraternity/sorority parties, 21st birthdays, college spring break, etc. ALSO, if you are part of an even larger group or family reunion, we have restrictions on the number of visitors you are allowed. Minimum age limits apply and young adults renting on their own must be 25 years of age. 2 NIGHT MINIMUM at all times and 3 Night Minimum in High Summer Season. Higher rates apply around special events and major holidays.

**BOOKING IN ADVANCE** We have many regulars that come year after year and we always give them first opportunity to re-book for the following year. Therefore we do NOT book more than about 10 months in advance.**

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION (AND THAT DECK!)

The Grisham house made our whole weekend so much fun! The wrap around deck was EVERYTHING. Our group spent the majority of our time there people watching, playing games and just having a great time. Everything was exactly as listed. The location was amazing and we could walk to everything.

They property as expected is very close to the ferry terminal, on the way into Avalon, it can't be missed. It is literally a few yards from the Veteran's memorial and the basket ball courts near the park entrance. The courts get busy at night, but that ends around 10pm. There is a bit of heavy street traffic through out the day, but not offensive. We stayed in the middle section, the neighbors above us were very nice. Our misfortune was only the weather, which after the first couple days, the weather became cooler and drizzle grey overcast. However we aproached the host to extend our stay which he did so we ended up with bright sunny weather for that last couple days. All and all the property exceeded our expectations, and recommended it to anyone considering a stay there. A convenient bonus for us and young grandchildren is the establishment at the bottom of the stairs adjoining the property, Catalina Cones. A young couple as proprietors having the best asortment of ice cream we found on the island. I highly recommend stopping there.We were grateful that our host was able to let us extend our stay the extra day, as the weather really turned around the last two days which we should have departed according to our original reservation. It helped make for a nice ending for our visit to Catalina.

Fabulous Site for a Generational Family Vacation

Incredibly gracious family owner and manager and an equally wonderful property. Our three generations of family had the perfect extended weekend stay. For elderly family, this property is located about a 100yds from the ferry boat terminal - super convenient. Has everything you’d need from kitchen supplies to extra blankets and pillows. You can tell this property has established a loyal following of repeat customers, of which we’re pleased and grateful to now be a part of.

The best location in Avalon

I was very surprised that this place was available. We have been visiting Avalon for 10 years now and this house is by far the best we have experienced. The house is well maintained and the best part is the beautiful deck with comfortable furniture and a brand new bbq. I will be booking this one again for sure, you can’t beat the location which is right on the strip with easy access to all restaurants and shops.

The best location

The magnificent wrap around deck allowed seven women to enjoy our morning coffee in very comfortable outdoor seats and lunch and/or dinner at the large table with eight chairs and a new cover. As it overlooked the main street we were able to watch the people coming into town from the ferry or cruise ships. We walked to shops, coffee house, grocery store, and shopping with ease. The location absolutely could not have been better. Inside the kitchen was very well stocked with anything you needed. There was a large table for eating or playing games at night. Two couches provided comfortable seating. We all slept well in the beds. Closet and drawer space was plentiful. With seven women, having three bathrooms, two of which were en-suite, was extremely helpful. The listing doesn’t mention it, but there is a twin bed in one bedroom, making five beds total. We all agreed we would rent this again and would recommend it to friends and family as the perfect place to stay on the island.

Celebrating my 60th with my 5 daughters

We have stayed at two other VRBO's this year which is a change from always staying at hotels or resorts. Our first experience in Alabama came with serious challenges with regard to cleanliness and overall upkeep. The second was amazing, however the property was in the process of being 'reapproved' by the city (New Orleans) leading to constant inspection and maintenance interruptions. This stay was flawless!!!! The property is perfectly located right in the heart of Avalon. Restaurants, beach, ferry port (less than 5 min walk), shops, activities, and lots of people watching. You literally can walk 3 minutes for coffee each morning, faster than you can brew your own. By the way, this property has it all. It is so well stocked with everything you would need to enjoy and have fun. Including; puzzles, games, dishes to prepare a meal, a snack, or a cocktail. There are so many leftover spices, coffee filters, coffee, creamer, the list goes on. I would highly recommend checking out the supplies before heading to the store. Beds were very comfy, atmosphere awesome, extremely clean and cared for, and the decor so incredibly homey. You don't feel like you're anywhere but home. Now for the wrap around deck. It's so spacious with ample furniture to sit and enjoy the view. We sat outside a great deal, reading, chatting, playing games and did I mention people watching :-) ! Thank you to the Grisham's for allowing us to experience their property. It's absolutely beautiful.

10/10 Stay: Perfect Avalon Getaway at the Grisham HouseWe absolutely loved our stay at the Grisham House! The location is unbeatable, just minutes from the Catalina Express dock, steps from the beach, and walking distance to Vons, restaurants, shops, and everything Avalon has to offer.The home itself is over 100 years old, full of historic charm, but still incredibly comfortable and clean. The listing was 100% accurate, and everything exceeded expectations. We ended up cooking breakfast one morning and were pleasantly surprised to find the kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed. Cleanup was easy and the trash location (right below the stairs) was super convenient.Randy was an amazing host, communicative, organized, and made sure we had all the info we needed for a smooth and memorable stay. We were a group of seven and had more than enough space.Highly recommend the Grisham House for anyone looking to enjoy Avalon without any stress. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Location with a great deck

We enjoyed our visit to Catalina to celebrate our marriage on the Island 21 years ago. First time at this location. Great 4 bedroom setup made this easy. Weird that the front door enters into one of the bedrooms. Keep that in mind if you have someone who sleeps early and others who come in late, or want to leave early in the morning while folks are sleeping. We put the deep sleeper 17 year old in that room because nothing wakes them up. Those are quirks of the island I guess. The hallway bathroom’s shower was clogged so we had no access to that shower. With 2 other showers we were ok. You cannot use both showers at the same time, so that is something to note. There isn’t enough water pressure to have both showers running at the same time nor enough hot water. We had to hunt around for heaters because it was freezing in winter at night. The beds did not have warm enough blankets and there were no extra blankets that we could find. Hosts would do well with supplying some extra blankets for each room in the winter. ( We came through New Year’s). We put the space heaters on we were ok. But, the first night some of us froze as we couldn’t find out where all the space heaters were stored. Otherwise, kitchen was stocked. It was clean and we had a great stay.
