Wonderful

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!
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 views
Nice place. Light and airy. Couple of forgivable issues but no deal-breakers.
We loved the views and natural light. The location was great too. Just a block from Vons and the main strip. Plus it was clean. Would definitely rent again!

Roomie, but could use some upgrade
Catalina is such a lovely island and has so many charming homes. Starting with the positives...this home has incredible views! Which was a big selling point for us and was perfect for the chillier mornings to enjoy the beautiful scenery while staying warm inside. The location is nice right near the grocery store and a short 10 min walk from the downtown area. It is large and roomy and easy to spread out in. However, for the price charged, I really believe the home could use some upgrades. For example, the coffee maker is very old and has brown stains on the white plastic coffee basket and lid, the toaster handle was broken, the shower curtain had some staining, and the bedding had holes in it and was a bit worn. It was fine for our short stay, but I would honestly not return to this specific location in the future unless the owner/renter makes some simple updates. As another user noted, there is a steep hill to get up the the apartment and several flights of stairs. So if that is not appealing to you, I would avoid this rental.
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
Nice place ! Great location , close to vons and a short walk to Main Street… enjoyed it and beautiful view from the kitchen.

rental was great, but…
All the tvs were out of wack, all controls were in disarray. The one in living room is over inaccessible steps going to downstairs unit, in fact it is unplugged.
Property was very clean.
We stay at many rentals and we’re very surprised that there was not even a salt shaker there…no coffee or tea…things that are left by previous renters, fridge was polished CLEAN; very unusual and a waste of money when a small quantity is needed.
Small improvements to consider:
Beds could use mattress upgrade
Shower doesn’t work well, the entire bathtub should be eliminated and something more useful and safe be placed…no handlebars is dangerous.
Shape of tub is for sitting in it, not to stand for a shower, it makes one feel unstable with nothing to hold on to… its an accident waiting to happen…
Paint job is fabulous, great attention to detail. Loved the colors.

Well laid out top floor of 3 story property. Comfortable with views of hillside and harbor. Main bedroom has only full size bed, be prepared. Updated kitchen but a new shower curtain would help.
