Spectacular View

We love staying at this house, we spent the majority of our time on the deck enjoying the view. This house is perfect for family and friends, especially if you just want to hang out on the deck and enjoy the view. It would be even better if you had a golf cart since town is a bit far and there are a ton of stairs.

Getting Away

This weekend laughing, playing and loving was exactly what was missing for us, our two sons and their families. We lived on the balcony with its magical view while having our coffee and meals. This home was comfortable, relaxing and met our needs perfectly. Everyone wants to come back :).

Beautiful view in unique home

We had a blast staying in this home which is definitely old and hasn't been updated. However, it is like stepping into the past which was SO COOL and inspired us to visit the casino and the museum to learn more about the history of the island. The only important thing to note is that the home is accessible by stairs and has lots of stairs inside, so make sure everyone staying here is comfortable with stair climbing!

View was amazing! However, the property smelled musty and the carpet on the bottom 2 floors was dirty. It seems like there may have been previous water damage that needs to be fixed by either the owner or property management company. House was a bit out dated. Needs some TLC.

Great for a large family or group

This property is great for a large group. It's an old house with lots of character. Kitchen is updated enough to cook with ease. The view is by far one of the best on the island. Dinner on the deck is a must during your stay. The ONLY drawback for some will be the location. You need a golf cart if you are not inclined to take the public staircase. If you're a group who exercises, your stairclimb is worked into your day, of not, get a golfcart for your stay. The view and comfort for our large family was worth every step!

Catalina Marathon Weekend

Even though the weather wasn’t great, we were able to enjoy the large house and incredible view of the harbor and casino. I highly recommend this house for a large group. We come to Avalon every year and we definitely want to rent this house again.

A very special property

We rented this home to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with our immediate family. While at the house, we spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the stunning view. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds and bathrooms were plentiful. A long staircase just down the street led directly into town, where we all found various activities to enjoy. A wonderful memory we'll all savor for a long time to come!

Good for large family

The place should have been aired out first before checking in. The damp, moldy smell was hard to deal with. If it is only a rental, removing the carpet would help. Also the bathroom amenities where insufficient. No shampoo/conditioner.

Million-dollar view, but…….

If you are willing to pay high dollar for a beautiful view of Catalina, this is your place; otherwise, way overpriced, kitchen is way under stocked with decent cooking utensils. Listed as a 4 bathroom, but never located the fourth bathroom. 29 steps down to master bedroom and very tiny master bathroom. I realize the house is 100 years old, very quaint and well-kept, but can be made a whole lot better with some upgrades, e,g, new mattresses, kitchen pots and pans, essentials like paper towels, foil, baggies, things that are usually staples in other VRBOs that we have rented. The view is amazing, yes, but that is exactly what you are paying for

Amazing view

First of all, the view is fantastic. It's even prettier in person. We liked the layout of the house (except we didn't like the room with the bunk beds because it was dank and unwelcoming). The decks are spacious and probably the best feature. We took a taxi from the shore but walked to town for the rest of the stay by using the stairs. The stairs are up the hill a few houses away (with the metal handrail next to a hydrant if you are interested). The house is well furnished. However, the mattresses in the top bedroom were hard and of poor quality. The guests in the other rooms with the full beds had no complaints. What did surprise us was the home was not well stocked. For example, there was a partial roll of paper towels and no replacement. There were two dish towels for a week long stay. There were small soaps in the bathroom and shampoo that was smaller than travel size. Sample size at best. The home sleeps 10 and we had six. It's a good thing we all brought our own shampoo and conditioner and soap. It was just unexpected given the cost and the number of people who can stay not to have basic shampoo and soap that would last more than a day. Other than that, it is quiet, serene and beautiful.

Beautiful Views

You are paying for the views when you stay at this property. I think that is evident from the photos. It is about a mile uphill to walk from the ferry. Once there we located the approximately 160 steps that lead down to the city park. This made getting in and out of town easier. If you are coming from the ferry, go to the city park located next to the gulf cart rental and begin walking up those steps. At the top of the park steps, look to the right and you will see a staircase that leads up the hill. At the top of the stairs go right and walk a few houses down to 172. When we arrived, the house smelled very musty. Keep in mind the house is 100. The top deck is in direct sun in the late afternoon through dinner time and it as well as the top floor are extremely hot during this time even with windows (that don’t have screens) open. There is no a/c. The wall to wall carpets in the house are old and dirty and should be replaced (preferably with wood or tile to make it easier to keep clean) or deep cleaned. The bathrooms are dated but functional and definitely large enough. The bedrooms are good size. The bunk bed bedroom is not truly a bedroom. It has no outside windows or closet and is more musty than the rest of the house. My kids woke up with puffy eyes and headaches from sleeping in that room. All of the bedrooms could use a refresh in terms of mattresses and bedding. The bedding appeared to be older. The kitchen is large, fully functional & well stocked. We had a nice stay.
