Jun 22, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Services below any standard, first-night nightmare, horrible host We arrive at the property on 06/19/2024 evening. We discovered that there were only 4 pillows at the property and 3 blankets for 6 people. One of the legs of a murphy bed was broken. As soon as we discovered issues, we contacted the management company and the host. No response until next morning. My friend had to use two cans of paint found at the property to put under the broken bed to be able to sleep the first night, and we had to use pillows from a sofa to sleep that night. The next morning somebody showed up, assessed the issues, assured us that they will send somebody to fix the bed, provide 2 pillows, but said that only 3 blankets are standard for this property, one for each bed. On a question how people from different families should sleep under one blanket, there was no response. They dare to decide how we should sleep! The issue with the bed was fixed, they provided two pillows and one blanket eventually, so the 2nd and the 3rd nights were ok. I demanded refund for the first night from the host, but the host refused to take any responsibilities for the first night and to give a partial refund motivating it by the fact the everything was fixed the next day. BTW, the host did not contacted us right after the booking as many other hosts do, introducing themselves and the property, wishing a pleasant stay. The host contacted me only after my demand to issues a partial refund. Stay away from this property and this host. ##### Sona O. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Candy W.

I have bad asthma so I had an asthma attack the same night I stayed and daily until I left on Sunday. They communicate quickly but the mold issue is so bad. Family that was staying at a hotel also mentioned the strong mildew smell upon stepping in the property to see our view. If they took care of the mold issue we would stay again due to the views and space! ##### Nightingale Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ivy N. Oct 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot 1st time to Catalina Had an overall great experience... the rental was clean and spacious.. beautiful views from the main windows all day long. With two bathrooms there was pleanty of space in the smaller one which catered to the men and larger one accommodated the women perfectly. The ceiling fan in the back room wasnt working and maintenance immediately came and put a window fan in to aid in our comfortabilty as it was hot that weekend. The property was quiet and serene. The roof top deck was a great feature for cooling off in the evening and watching the sun set.. just a short up hill walk (which should not be taken lightly was something to get use to and provided some much needed cardio) from the main street with nice restaurants on both corners. Im very satisfied with my choices to stay at this location and will be glad to stay here again in the future . ##### Ivy N. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sean k. May 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet with a beautiful view. Very affordable property, comes with two full bathrooms and two bedrooms along with a Murphy bed in the living room and a full size couch. I went with a group of five men so two of them had to snuggle. A lot of vacation rentals in Catalina have golf carts. This one did not which would have been a very nice bonus. The location is excellent. It's close enough to the waterfront to have great views from both inside the unit and the rooftop patio but far enough that it's quiet and you don't get a lot of noise and foot traffic from the tourists. Highly recommend ##### sean k. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris D. Apr 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay, rooftop deck is the highlight The unit is 50 yards or so above the main thoroughfare, so it's very close to everything. The walk is uphill, and another 20+ steps are required to reach the actual front door. If mobility is an issue, this may not the place for you. It has a full kitchen with full-sized refrigerator, and is appointed with plenty of utensils, plates/bowls, Mr. Coffee machine (not Keurig), coffee filters, spices, and so on. The furniture is fairly basic and a little dated, but met our needs. Some of the blinds do not work, and neither did any of the ceiling fans. The owners immediately provided brand new box fans, but they weren't quite as effective. We opened the windows to let in adequate breezes, so we were fine. Many of the window blinds were broken. You might want to check if the ceiling fans are working if that's important. The highlight was the rooftop deck, where we spent most of our time when we were at the house. Many of the chairs were already broken when we arrived, but we made do with the 2 or 3 that were usable. The owners really need to remove and replace the old, broken ones. The view of the beach, boardwalk, and cruise ships was fantastic, and it was a perfect place to eat breakfast, watch the sunset AND sunrise, and drink a cup of coffee. It was also a private deck, intended only for our use, though we heard people moving chairs on the roof and talking loudly late on our first night. It only happened that first night. Overall, I would definitely consider this place again, but reconsider if you have mobility issues. It would be near perfect if they would fix the minor items I mentioned. ##### Chris D. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kristen B., San Diego, USA Mar 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Biggest Perks are the Location and Roof Deck with Oceanview This condo suited our needs and our main requirements of being walkable to downtown Avalon, having an outdoor space with ocean view, clean, and being spacious enough for our family of five. We did appreciate the management company let us know we could check in early. The condo itself is like a 2-star hotel. Furnishings are shabby and the chairs on the roof deck look like they'll give way to the next person to sit down. Toiletries were sparse so bring your own, including soap. At other rentals, I've found a welcome binder of recommended sites and restaurants as well as key contacts - like taxis helpful. This property did not have this. The rental booking was also more time consuming than I've experience because the management company requires signing more contracts and providing copy of your license and credit card (either over unsecure email or at their office). Next time, I think we'll look for a different spot on Catalina. ##### Kristen B. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff F. Aug 5, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing view Amazing view! The property is dated, furniture is old and a hodge podge of random things. There are newer appliances in the kitchen. The location is good but there is a hill to walk up and stairs to access the property. It was fine for our family, but if you are pushing a stroller or have any kind of physical limits/struggles it might be difficult. The 180 degree views are what made this property enjoyable. Our favorite times spent onsite were on the rooftop enjoying the view. ##### Jeff F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vitaliy G.

Other than that it was old amenities and door knobs that were semi falling off the door. No trash bags to clean nor any soap when cleaning is required. Overall professionalism when checking in is far below par. We were told that we could check in early and when we went to check in we were told we need to wait 4 hours. Customer service was just not there. I will definitely not be using this company again. ##### Garrett I.

We did just that and decided on a trip to Catalina and a stay at this property. Mother nature had other plans. When we arrived at the CIVR office to pick up the keys on Saturday afternoon, we were told that our property had major leaks from the rain storm that came through on Friday and so it was not rent-able. CIVR did what they thought best and moved us to a property directly across the street from the one we had chosen. This review is not for 216 C Whittley but for 211 Whittley - To say we were disappointed does not really cover it. The property we were switched to was fine, it just wasn't what we had envisioned for our special weekend. The property was on two levels. Both levels had a nice view but the bottom level (master bedroom) is on the street so you couldn't keep the blinds open and have any privacy. The bottom level bathroom is a Jack/Jill set-up shared with a second bedroom. The bathroom door from the master bedroom side opens directly into (hitting) the commode. The shower head in this bath needs replacing. When we checked out, the office was informed of this. The upper floor is nicely laid-out and has a nice view. The balcony that looks like a good size in the photo is quite small. It has a bbq and a table with 4 chairs. There really is no room for 1 person to bbq and more than 1 person to sit at the opposite side of the table. It should be replaced with a much smaller bbq and a bistro type table and 2 chairs. The house is advertised to accommodate 6 people but there is no-way the balcony can hold more than 2 people with it's current set-up. The thing that was most difficult was going up and down to the bedroom. It was just awkward. Also, besides the weekend being overcast and rainy (which was fun), the temp was cooler. This made us turn the heat on. I guess it had been a while because a lot of dust bunnies came flying out of the vents. Yuk! Not only did it make a mess but we were breathing this in. I would suggest that CIVR ask their maintenance/cleaning staff to turn on the heat to assure the vents are clear. We understand that this was an act of nature and CIVR did the best they could but we did not receive a phone call giving us a heads-up or any options. A coupon for something would have been a nice gesture. We did love Catalina and will use CIVR again and hope that mother nature cooperates. ##### Maria M.
