Review of Trout HouseFive stars means it hits every thing on a list and was super stellar or perfect. We give this lovely house 4 stars. It was a wonderful quirky old house. Did some of the things need attention to be more than 4 stars, yes. Did it detract from our stay, no. The 2 issues we had were quickly and satisfactorily addressed. We loved hanging out on the covered deck. The limited view of the ocean was great. This old quirky house had an interesting layout. It's location gave us walking workouts up and down the steep streets to and from the house. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was useable. It had lots of windows and light coming in everywhere. Cloth grocery shopping bags provided. Would we come back for another stay? Yes indeed we would. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing weekend.

Trout House

We came to stay at the Trout House for a milestone birthday celebration on the Island. I picked the house because of the outside deck and view. We really enjoyed the house, the history, and our time on Catalina.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled that the house and its history added something special to your birthday trip.

Great Location, Loved the outdoor deck

We stayed the weekend for our friend's birthday and enjoyed the relaxing view and deck.Charming house and easy to get to from the main downtown area.The only thing I would change is the bathroom situation. It is a little odd that it is split up into to areas. other than that, we would definitely stay here again!!!
Response from VrboOwner on 26 February 2026
Thank you so much for the detailed review! We’re so glad the "split" bathroom layout worked well for your group—we agree it makes a big difference when traveling with another couple. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the charm of our "small upstairs home" and made good use of the covered patio. We’d love to have you back for another manageable and relaxing getaway soon!

Everything We Could Have Wanted And More!

We loved our stay! The house had everything we needed. It was so conveniently walkable to town. The biggest pleasant surprise was the front porch. We spent almost all our waking time out there. It had a view of the ocean and when it rained, was covered enough that we could still sit outside and not get wet. I would definitely stay there again!

Response from VrboOwner on 11 July 2025
Hi Rahul, thanks for sharing your thoughts. The oven was checked after your stay and is working well. This home doesn’t list a dishwasher or laundry, but we understand it’s something some guests look for. We’ll be swapping out any towels that need it and will double-check the home’s freshness for future guests. Thanks again for your feedback!

Great Summer Getaway!!

My family and I had a great stay at Trout House! Perfect location, close enough to everything but far enough away for a quiet stay. Beds were comfy, used the very functional kitchen. The place is rustic but everything works well, awesome water pressure and love the history of the house. Great deck for relaxing after a day of exploring. We would definitely stay again!

The Perfect Escape

I can't imagine a better place to enjoy some time on Catalina, especially for the price. It was everything we wanted, a block from the beach, with a sweet breezy deck with great views that I could have stayed on the whole visit. Such a fun little town, so easy to get to, but *worlds away* from LA. Will be back!

A great little place for our weekend getaway with 2 Adults and 2 teenagers. It's close to the main shopping and dining area and the Vons supermarket is also a short walk. It's an older house with character, a little cramped, but expected due to being built in the early 1900s! Overall, we had a fantastic stay.

Great place to stay by the beach

As the description says it's really a nice n cozy place just a block away from the beach. It has a good balcony with sea view and all those basic amenities you need. The place is good for 3 to max 4 people. The owner was really friendlyand made sure the whole process starting booking the house to we staying there was smooth. Best features about the house again was the small distance from beach, a balcony with sea view and a backyard bbq if you like to grill.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 April 2020
Just a note on this - not sure why it's designating 55+ as house is suited for anyone - kids to adults :) We are on a hill and there are stairs to the unit, so not suited for handicapped.
