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.

Cute beach cottage

It was a perfect size for our stay. It was great to have rooms, a kitchen & living room to hang out in after a day at the beach. Walking distance to just about everything not far from the beach or Grocery store at all.TV was not working for us we ended up renting movies from the library.

Birthday relaxation for mom

It is a cute house and the location was great. We are older women and not having air conditioning was a bit hard on us. Even with the open windows and fans it was not cool enough. However, had I been younger I do not think it would have been a big deal. It was nice to have two bathrooms. In the evenings after hiking and shopping around normally we like to watch TV but the house does not offer any streaming services. We could not really figure out how to make it work so that we can have a little bit of Netflix or similar. So we mostly watch regular TV channels. Overall we had a good time and certainly loved the location.

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.

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.

Darling Cottage that always delivers

Check in was very simple, and there are no complicated checking out requirements. The cottage's owner is instantly responsive to any and all needs, and the house is perfectly situated close to the beach and Von's. We stay here year after year, and are always enchanted with the charm and historical background of the cottage. It is not for the fancy traveler, but it is perfect for someone who wants clean, comfortable and charming housing close to the action but still in the convenient flats of Avalon. The kitchen has all major appliances, and there is laundry.
