What a delight!

Avalon was a wonderful experience and our home away from home was perfect. we had four adults and one granddaughter (8) and me (84), grand mom staying. we all loved our beautiful home. The flower bower front and side was a lovely plus, we could sit and read and watch the passing scene from the side patio surrounded by golden yellow hibiscus! .We had lots of dining space, the kitchen VERY well appointed with every imaginable cooking tool,and spices galore, beds very comfy, baths very modern and attractive, I could go on...but in short an ideal spot to spend a week in and enjoy its convenient location, walking distance to Vons a great grocery...just like home and all the local attractions and there are so many things to see and do on the island!!!

Great for Families

This house was perfect for our family. Our two sons and their families joined us for a milestone celebration. We had six adults and four children. As most places in Catalina, it is an older home and the entire structure is somewhat rickety. We were able to make breakfast and dinner with a relatively large kitchen - with all he kitchen tools you would need. Best of all, the patio table and indoor table fit all of us. For the price, it's an excellent choice.

Great house!

This house is in a great location. It’s on the flat ground, no walking uphill from the port and is close to Vons grocery store. The description of the house setting & amenities are as described. We have 8 people in our group & the house is big enough and we feel comfortable to share our space. The kitchen is fully stock. One evening we got to use the BBQ grill & had dinner on the patio. We consider to stay here again when we visit Avalon.

Island Cottage

Lots of space with 6 beds, more than enough for 6 adults. Decor was homey and comfortable. Gas fireplace was a plus!! Having a golf cart would have made it ideal, but the walk to town was easy. Vons supermarket at the end of the block was also great.

Such a great house and picturesque. Everything we needed and all of the features we wanted. Liked the house, tvs and of course the fully equipped kitchen. Super close to Vons and more quiet than being close to the beach, even though it’s still close…Don’t think about it. Just book it! Catalina is awesome. Btw, loved all the decorations and pictures inside the house. Such a rich history!

Nice family vacation house

Overall nice stay, only one shower was a challenge the downstairs bathroom has a tub. Also be sure to buy a couple of bars of soap if you stay more than 1 day because the micro-soap provided only lasts a day. Buy toilet paper too because you only get the roll on the holder in each bathroom, same with paper towel, 1 roll so if you stay for a few days and have kids, better stick up too on that. Upstairs very hot if the weather is over 75 during the day outside.. fans only do so much. Very noisy from very busy street corner, trash truck, street sweeper, golf carts and fire trucks/ambulances all pass by (so close to firehouse and city yard). Our family is easy going so all this was overlooked when we just enjoy each other on vacation.

Charming Family Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Johnson Family cottage on Catalina. There is a lot of history in this house that we appreciated and tried to respect. Reading the binder about the cottage and it’s occupants really made us feel as if we became apart of its history. We especially liked the outside shower attached to the downstairs bathroom, ample sleeping quarters, and the proximity to the grocery store and other Avalon businesses. If you are a light sleeper, you might want to choose one of bedrooms in the back of the house to avoid the noise of golf cart traffic. I would definitely stay here again.

Loved staying here

We had a great experience here. We arrived early on Friday and was told the house was ready and we could go in now. Wonderful news for us with all our luggage. The house is really cute with lots of family photos all over and sits on the end of the street so there is a patio to sit outside and watch all the carts of people passing by. A little loud but very nice to sit outside. It’s an old house so some of the dresser drawers were broken and we had an issue with the garbage disposal but over all a great place to stay. Checkout morning we were all running behind and was able to get a later check out. Again awesome news!!! We didn’t have to carry all of our stuff around all day and some were able to sleep in. We had 7 adults and 2 children and had plenty of room for all.

Spacious and Charming-Highly recommend

We rented 2 houses for 14 people for the weekend…we had plenty of room to bbq and play card games at the huge dining table and patio area. The location was perfect- close to everything it not so close that we couldn’t have some quiet time too. The house has so much history and was so cozy…we enjoyed figuring out from the book they have and all the pictures that a beautiful captain and his family must have lived there. It felt like we got to stay at our grandparents family home. Kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we ever have rented and the heater and fireplace worked great There we’re plenty of clean towels, blankets, games, movie and music cd’s. We’ve rented many house over the years in Catalina and this was by far the best house yet. We definitely will be renting this house again when we have a large party because the house was very spacious and accommodating for our group and our 2 handicapped veterans as well.

We absolutely loved this property! The location was perfect, walking distance from everything we wanted to do. The house has soooo much history and we loved the extra booklet that the family provided so we could read up on the history of the island, the house and the family history of property owners. We will definitely rent this house again!!
