Great Location

We had a fabulous time and loved how centrally located the house was. A few concerns were the golf cart breaks, the downstairs bathtub didn’t work and the overall cleanliness of the house. Everything else was great.

Great Multi Family Vacation Spot

We had an amazing weekend celebrating my dad's 80th and Mother's Day. We rented both units and really enjoyed being able to have the 4 families all together. The kids loved the bunk room! As far as I could tell, this property has the best patio on the island. So big! We were able to BBQ and enjoy the beautiful weather. We will definitely be back!

353 Eucalyptus

We had originally booked the house on Claressa, but due to the Harbor Clean update changing we ended in 353 Eucalyptus. The house served our purpose as an annual family get together. It is very close to Von's and not far from town. The house is old and needs alot of repairs (sloping floor) but is clean and functional. We would use it again.

Catalina on Claressa

Excellent location and plenty of room for the family. It needs some updating, especially the bathroom and mattress in the upstairs bedroom. The mattress has two dips ( for each side) and only one of the TVs worked. The front patio is big and wonderful and the golf cart was fun. Beach towels/chairs would be helpful. Kitchen was updated and huge. Fireplace doesn’t work. We did have a great time!

2/10 Terrible

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Unfortunately this home was terrible. I would never recommend this to anyone. There was one large pot and one large pan for cooking in a home that slept 10! The towels were stained and we had to use our beach towels to shower. The WiFi hardly worked although I understand that it’s an island. Poor and rundown furnishings. Key details about the property — including the master bedroom being a loft and the condition of the master bed itself — were not clearly disclosed prior to booking and significantly affected comfort and usability.Overall Habitability: With multiple heating failures, unusable sleeping arrangements, and incomplete disclosures, the property did not meet the standard that was represented or reasonably expected for a paid stay.

Good, but a few issues

Overall good stay, great patio. Few broken items when we arrived. Coffee machine missing filter strainer and host did not provide a replacement on request. Unit has second unit above it which was not in description. People in unit above were stomping around until 12am for 2 of the nights. Overall decent and good location but too expensive for what u get.

Awesome location!

Absolutely wonderful location! One block from ALL the action. Great house and more than enough room for all 6 of us. Had an issue with the golf cart the first day, but we had it for the second day. My father is disabled so it was hard at first, but the owner worked all day to get it resolved as soon as possible. Overall, extremely happy with this property.

Problematic

Although the location was great, the floor was filthy and the walls look as if they are never cleaned, we had to have maintenance come twice to fix 2 different tvs, the stove ignition didn't work and neither did the fan and the instructions for anything but the tvs did not exist. Maybe other people know how to operate golf carts but we did not and had to figure it out by trial and error. Disappointing how little any one who manages this house cares about the renters!

We always love the house and patio area....kitchen is a great gathering place as well. We were a bit disappointed with the cleanliness this year--bathroom towels were stained and we had to wash the bathroom carpets as they were disgustingly dirty. Clutter in the closets could be removed as well.

Wonderful house with plenty of room and great location

Perfect spot for a big group. We had three families on this trip and the spaciousness of the house and patio were perfect for our crew. The location is also a great perk; only 1 block from the beach and the main promenade was really convenient throughout our 4 day stay. Nice big kitchen made cooking while socializing very fun. We highly recommend this house as a vacation rental.

Catalina 3bedroom, 3bath home.

The house was very nice. The pictures actually did not do it justice. The location was amazing. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. The golf cart was a great addition. A great way to see the island. I thought checkout time of 10am was too early, 11am would have been more acceptable. My criticism would be that there was no dish soap or fresh sponges in the kitchen or hand soap in the bathrooms. The unit above can be easily heard in the bedrooms.
