The house was accurately described, with one exception ... there was no television service. For me, no big deal because I almost always have my extra Roku Express with me. The house is not fancy, but very adequate, with a full kitchen & comfortable beds & also a stackable washer/ dryer. With no a/c (we knew that), it was pretty warm the 1st 2 days, but luckily it cooled off. Deborah is a great host & we never had a problem with communication. Thank you, Deborah!

Great location near the main part of Avalon. The house is an older, “shotgun” style home but was clean and comfortable.

Comfy cottage

This was definitely a comfortable place for us to stay. The walkability to Casino Point was pretty easy even when transporting a lot of scuba gear.

Cute Catalina Cottage

This quirky and darling beach cottage is the perfect location. Close to the beach and near Von’s on Catalina Island. With fans on and windows open we were quite comfortable. We love this home and return to it year after year.

Dive into Avalon like a Local

Easy access to all Avalon has to offer. We walked to casino point to scuba dive from shore, walk to the pier to board the dive boat, and then to the marlin club for post dive cocktails.

Bed was very comfortable. Host is fantastic. Very family friendly. Close to dog park and shops. Perfect location. We had problems with the Internet and TV coming and going but I think the problem was happening across the island and possibly due to the big Internet outage that was a result of Amazon AWS issues and outages.
