About this property

Fun Vibe in town Very CleanBestReviews1stBlock, Balconies, kayaks, SUP’s, chairs

If you want to be in the heart of town and walk anywhere this is it. It is on the first block, steps to the sand and steps to any restaurant or bar. Right next door to the Catalina Island Conservancy so easy if you want a tour or event. Two nice decks, you can have a drink and enjoy the views or people watch. All newly redone, nice everything. Nice new TV. It technically is a one bedroom but it is 1100 sq ft with two euroloungers that fold out and all bedding/towels included. This is a fun place to go and you will love it, we do.

NEW POLICY, NO REFUND DUE TO CANCELLATION. Sorry, it was getting to be a pain in the neck. VRBO does offer travel insurance.

Amazing time at the Yellow house! It was perfect location literally seconds from the beach and down town. Marty was quick and efficient with response time — made check in and check out very easy an accommodating. Tons of beach toys! Loved having the deck top and bottom! Felt like home away from home. Bed is super comfortable. We are going to make it our yearly place to stay! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Awesome place to stay in Avalon

Located so close to the beach in Avalon. It was a very clean place that comfortably sleeps 4. The owners were very responsive and informative over text to tell us about check in and check out information. Would stay there again!

Right in town

Close to everything. View of the cove from the balcony. Well equipped. We would stay there again. Can be a little noisy during the day but that is the price of being in town.

Perfect spot

First time to Catalina and the yellow house was the perfect place to stay. Walkable to all Avalon has to offer and two beautiful porches to relax and enjoy everything going on. Marty was a great host, we can't wait to come back!

Yellow House Haven

The yellow house is such a cute rental. I loved the Spanish tiles and all the little sea plane touches. We came for diving and the location was perfect - just a 10 minute (if that long) stroll along the coast live over looking the harbor. The everything you could need (food, shops, water sports, drug store, etc) is incredibly walkable. Marty, the property manager was incredible - he’s timely, responsive, and respectful. We can’t wait to vacation here again.

In the center of the action.

The property was a very short walk to the ferry. The toy storage room had everything you could ever want for the beach. All the windows in the bedroom had blackout curtains and double pained windows to block out all the noise from the gas powered golf carts. And the A/C was nice on hot days!

We fully enjoyed our stay at the Yellow House in Catalina! Marty was exceptionally accommodating and quick to respond to questions! The property was wonderful and so close to all the shops/restaurants/ferry. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Marty!

We'll be back!

This is such a great spot! We cooked in the well-stocked kitchen, slept great in the third story bedroom, and enjoyed all the thoughtful touches and homey comforts. Just wish we had stayed longer so we could enjoy the fully stocked "toy room" with loads of outdoor equipment for all kinds of fun. Marty was very communicative and helpful, and we really appreciated the outdoor locker storage so we didn't have to drag our luggage around town after check-out.

Best spot in Avalon

Whenever we travel to Catalina island we book Marty’s lovely yellow house. You can’t beat the location, the views, the toy shed and of course Marty himself is the nicest guy. There is a reason this property is 5/5 — it’s the best on the island. Enjoy!

Ideal location with lots of toys

The house is in the perfect location in Avalon and walking distance to everything. You have a view of both the harbor and the mountains from the balcony. The home is comfortable, and the "toy closet" is full of kayaks, bikes, SUPs, beach toys and much more to take full advantage of Avalon. Marty was easy to work with and very responsive. We look forward to staying here again.
