Great stay

Overall, we had a great stay! The house is on a quiet street but is still close to town. Everything worked well in the apartment except for the sliding door to the deck (it doesn’t lock). The main bed was really comfortable but the sofa bed wasn’t. We still really enjoyed the stay and would love to go back!

Prime location good comfort cute decor

Location is central, but not on a busy street. House is cute and interesting. The furniture was not the most comfortable. I wouldn't want to watch a whole movie from the couch. The fans in the house were broken, the shower door had been repaired in a way that prevented it from closing entirely. I think

Decent place, good location that could use some improvements

An overall nice place in a good location. Things were a little run down: the patio door would not lock and we were not able to use the oven because it would set off the smoke alarm. Otherwise, a comfortable place to stay for the weekend.

Lovely little retreat.

This place was perfect for my little getaway. My family reunion was taking place on the island and I needed a little spot to retreat to for privacy and relaxation. It was very cute and had everything I needed.It even came with a friendly kitty who must live nearby. He was very sweet and made my whole trip. I will come back for sure!

Tiny, cute, close to everything

Property could use a deep cleaning. It is obvious that it gets the basics done regularly but really could use a deep cleaning. The layout is very "cozy". The listing leads you to believe there is a sofa bed but in fact the sofa just extends to a full size futon. I asked the manager if beach towels are provided and was told "yes" only to arrive and no beach towels are provided. I also asked the manage about storing luggage after checking out and was directed to the docks where you can pay a small fee to check your bags in for the day. This was very handy as we had a full day of activities planned prior to heading back to the mainland. The balcony is a great place to hang out and enjoy the ocean breezes. I recommend this unit if you are just there for a few days and don't plan to spend much time inside. The next time I visit I will rent a unit with a golf cart.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I'll be honest, the location of the house is good, everything is close, but we had some disappointments since when we arrived the property has two "studios" we arrived without realizing which one it was and we opened the first apartment. , and we went up to the other studio and opened it with the same code that was opened in the one below, so we got worried and dialed and told them what was happening and they told us that it was a lie that they were not there. Even though we were able to open it, they denied everything. Another thing is that the sheets in the room were very dirty as well as the blankets. I don't recommend this place.

Dirty and loud

We booked for 3 nights. First off the manager seemed to be someone that just confirmed your arrival and let you know when the unit was available, nothing more. When we arrived the we were extremely disappointed. The place was dirty and not even close to CoVID mandatory regulations. Spiderwebs, oily knobs, dirty microwave, etc. Also, partying was going on down stairs and at the houses next door, definitely great if you are there to party. I immediately called the manager, no answer. Called the management company and the did offer to send someone to clean, however by this time we just wanted to go home. I filed a verbal complaint with them. They ended up refunding two nights but charged me for the day and owners fee.

Clean, comfortable, and cozy apartment

My husband and I enjoyed a comfortable stay at this cozy little apartment. The apartment is just a short walk to main shopping and dining area so it was convenient. The apartment itself is on the older side and there is no air conditioner (not abnormal for Catalina Island) but there was plenty of fans you can use. The shower door needs to be fixed as it doesn’t close properly and water can leak out. Some of the blinds needs to be fixed as well as they did not retract properly or stay open. Lastly the notes on the cabinets should probably be removed as they tell the renter they will be charged for any missing plates, cups, silverware and knives. It is tacky in my opinion to tell your renter this. When I asked the property host she told me not to pay attention to those signs. I would remove them if I was the host. The host was responsive and brought us soap when we asked for it. Overall we would stay here again.

Decent

The space was decent. The floors were dirty and the toilet was severely clogged the majority of our stay (we were only there for a weekend). We messaged the liaison about the clogged toilet the night we arrived and had to message again the next morning. In between these times, the toilet overflowed 3 times, no matter how much we plunged, and my poor partner had to clean up some really nasty messes. It was eventually fixed for the last 6-12 hours of our stay. Other than that nasty mess and the dirty floors, the stay was great

NYE in Catalina

My girlfriend and I loved staying here! It was the perfect size for 2 people. We loved having the grocery store less than a block away and being so centrally located. We spent 4 days here. A couple things to improve on would be that the shower door doesn’t close, the pillows and linens aren’t comfortable (they felt old), most of the coffee cups are chipped, and the TV doesn’t have Netflix or similar apps. It could use some updates. Other than that, everything else was a breeze. A special Thank you to our host Veronica who let us check out an hour later, so we didn’t have to lug our bags around town.
