Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

EV Charging: For safety reasons and to comply with insurance requirements, guests are prohibited from charging electric vehicles at any property that does not have a dedicated EV charging station.

If in doubt, ask our team for the closest EV charging station.

This deposit is refunded after the departure inspection, with any damage or loss deducted.

Great place!
True to what was advertised, Catalina was well located and a great house for a family stay. Kids had the run of the downstairs, whilst the living and kitchen, entertaining areas were upstairs with a beautiful view for the parents to retreat of an evening. Had all the mod cons you needed. My only suggestion would be to include wifi and perhaps make dog friendly as there was a secure yard. All in all a great place, we will definitely return!

We had a group of us staying in winter. The place is big, beautiful, and warm!! The floor heating works a treat. And the flooring itself is something else. There was lots of chat about the polished cement!

House was good, new, location and views great but NO air conditioning which detracted from everything else. Yes fan in upstairs bedroom but nothing downstairs which made for very uncomfortable nights for everyone.

Beautiful break by the beach
We had a wonderful time at this amazing house! Can’t speak highly enough about this property. You can’t ask for a better location, right on the beach. Beautiful view from the balcony over the beach, we could have sat there all day enjoying the view. The house was lovely and clean and very well thought out. We had everything we needed available to us. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you!!
