A nice place in a wonderful location. Very prompt in responding to any potential issues and problem.

Me, my wife, and friends stayed here for the Catalina Marathon. It was an ideal location with everything literally in walking distance. We would stay here again, for sure.

Catalina Marathon weekend

The place was just as nice as advertised, and perfect for our group of 6 that were running that weekend. The location was perfect and in proximity to everything in Avalon, especially the start and finish.

Location was great, home was comfortable and clean. The only 2 issues on the listing is that there was no mention of the fireplace not working as pilot light was not lit and that you would have had to buy wood and starter to warm the place up. The other issue was there was nothing on the listing that said the barbecue was not propane and one would have to buy briquettes and starter fluid.Veronica the contact was very responsive to my texts if we had questions.

Adequate for our family

Photos were accurate. BBQ grill was not usable. No beach chairs, except for rusty ones outside. TV hard to figure out. It met our basic needs. Location good.

A Birthday in Avalon

We chose this place because of the fireplace. We were disappointed when we got there and realized the fireplace didn’t work. In the photos it showed a working fireplace. The beds were not very comfortable. The carpet didn’t look like it had been cleaned in quite a while. The location was fabulous and the check-in was very simple. One big plus was a very well-stocked kitchen. Having two bathrooms was also an asset.

Great property, great location and great value

House was perfect! Cozy and quaint, 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms made this the perfect fit for 3 adult couples. Didn’t need to bring a single kitchen item as this house is fully stocked. Great location and close to the grocery store for any items. Close proximity to everything fun. Highly recommend this house.

Short stay at this place

All was well except the carpet in living room and beds. Carpet in the livingroom is very dirty that my baby’s outfit got so dirty while playing in livingroom. My baby even got sick. Even we adults walking in there without shoes n socks our feet got so dirty. Carpet needs to be replaced. Livingroom is not as big as shown in picture on the site. Beds were small and not cozy. Besides, everything was nice.

Great house with everything you need.

This is a nice size house with a full kitchen and room to read, eat and share good times. It is two1/2 blocks from the Vons market and easy to get anywhere from the ferry to the restaurants to the avalon ballroom on foot. For us (allover 60) the beds were a bit soft and the carpets in the living room and bedroom could be nicer but the kitchen made up for it all. The evolve team were great, easy instructions good wifi!!! We will probably return.!

Very nice

Very nice house. Had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Could have used more beach towels. Only big disappointment was the contact for the property. She did not “know” the property and couldn’t tell us if beach towels were provided when we emailed prior to our stay. And she did not respond to our emails so we called (said she doesn’t look at her email)! Said she would check about beach towels and get back to us but never did. She also said there were no beach chairs but there were 3. The amenities online listed beach chairs but didn’t mention beach towels. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
