The apartment was gross/disgusting, whatever word you want to use here, they're both fairly accurate to me. My wife and I wish we would have spent an extra 200-300/night for a nicer place, it would have been worth it. There was an ant infestation on our bed at night which was pretty gross (we didn't have food in the room), but they were everywhere making it hard to sleep. The furniture has to be 50 years old. Just gross. Blue fabric couches were stained brown. I cannot emphasize how gross this place was. Spare yourself the headache and spend a few extra bucks.

The apartment was clean and talking to staff was easy, plus they were very helpful. I felt the apartment needed some updating and maintenance. It felt tired, with some wallpaper peeled away or needing repair (bathroom). The wifi/tv was intermittent and overlooking the trash cans wasn’t the nicest of views- tho I’m not sure where else they could go. That said, the location is great and ir suited our needs.

This property is just basic. They gave us 1 toilet paper roll For a 3 day stay. We were not told about this so we had to go buy TP. Also to get to property you must walk up a STEEP hill over half a mile. This was very hard with an infant and stroller/car seat. It would probably work for a young couple no kids or one person.

The property had some cute features, but needs some upgrading with the electric. The hair dryer in the bathroom is unusable and rusty, it needs to be removed and replaced, I emailed the property asking for a loaner and got no response. The bed was comfortable. Not a good property for those who are challenged by walking uphill and stairs up to the house.

Needs repair and cleaning

Would not stay again. Comforters and shams were filthy. Silverware was missing. Mold in the kitchen window sills. Rust and water stains everywhere. Very few staples for cooking and the walls are paper thin so you can hear all the neighbors. Overall, gross.

Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Great value! We had a good stay and enjoyed the space.The location was perfect, slightly uphill, which gave us a nice ocean breeze and a pretty view.The place was clean, the queen bed was comfy, and we appreciated the full kitchen. Linens and towels were good quality too. We were a little disappointed that there wasn’t a daybed like the one shown in the pictures. Instead, there was a small trundle-style couch that wasn’t very comfortable. We also noticed quite a bit of noise from the unit upstairs; people walking around and what sounded like furniture being moved late into the night. It also would have been nice to have nightstands and bedside lights with on/off switches for more convenience.

Dirty place, Tv did not work, Phone did not work.

The house was a nice little house. The mattress cover had a big urine stain. Is it that hard to get a new mattress cover on a twin bed? The email they sent me had the wrong address to the Rental place so when you are walking on an island with a lot of luggage it would be nice to know the location. When I got there they told me the email must have not went out and no sorry. The address to there place is on the contract they send out. The TV did not work and there was no cell reception. So when I picked up the phone to call to have it fixed the phone did not work either. They did come the next day and fix the TV though since I had to email.

Great Location But A Few Ants

This property was in a fantastic location and had everything we wanted. It also had a few extra things: there were some ants (we figured out where they were coming in and plugged the entry) - it is an island so ants can be expected. The property was clean but a little worn. It may need some new paint and such but still was good to make meals, sleep and hang out at night. And again, the location was fantastic. Would very much recommend and property manager was very responsive (and we didn’t mention the ants as we plugged the entry).

Enjoyed the deck and view

We stayed here Monday-Friday and while we had no neighbors (as we had hoped), there was construction on the property, including a cement mixer and noisy hammering and saws. We contacted the property manager who said she would send someone to check it out and call us back, but we never heard from anyone.

This was advertised as sleeping 4 people. The main bed was ok, the day bed was unusable. It squeaked so much we had to take the mattress off & sleep on the floor. It was also very cold. The outside temperature was in the 50s and there was no heat in the unit. I sent them messages asking how to get heat but never got a response. We had to wear coats anytime we were there.

Great little place for a family to stay in Avalon

This little apartment was a comfortable place and perfect for our family of four to experience Catalina. I especially enjoyed having breakfast in in the large kitchen with its bank of west-facing windows. The management company does a great job providing all the necessary items, plus a great little library plus a puzzle collection which was a big hit. The WiFi was good.

Cute, Basic but all the necessities, great view

Didn't know what to expect, as we booked last minute on what was a very busy weekend --major nurses' event and a few weddings -- at Avalon. Ideal distance from main water-fronting street - short walk but far enough for tranquility. Avalon food better than expected, people way friendly, short walk to great scuba park by Casino. Two nights felt like a vay-kay. Only an hour from the dock at LB and you could (with super-power optics) see our house in LA, but islands have island magic.

Bad customer service

The property management company (Catalina Properties/ Oranj Palm) gave us the wrong address for key pick up. We came to the address they gave us with all our luggage and we had a baby with us. The place was locked up, nobody was there and nobody knew anything about them. I had to call corporate office to find out their new location ( at which they’ve been for the past 3 months). So we had to log all our stuff to a different location. At the new location we got a bunch of “ sorties” , but no actual amends were made. The rental is up a steep hill, so you’ll definitely get your steps in. Despite its small size, it comfortably accommodated all of us ( 3 adults and 1 baby). However, the place is dirty ( hair stuck to shower walls/ ceiling), sticky linoleum floors. Basic necessities like dish soap, sponge , trash bags were not there. I had to call the office for these things. So, it was definitely a hassle. The owners/ management does absolute bare minimum here.

Great location, cute and quaint!

This really is a very cute place. It's a one bedroom but can sleep 4. We only had two in the unit, 4 would be cozy but certainly do-able. It's just a sweet little place. It's really quiet when the other vacationers are considerate of their neighbors. We had some that weren't and it got super noisy, but management addressed it when they received a complaint. It had everything we needed for a three-night stay. It was clean and well stocked with the necessities. The TV channel selections were the only disappointment - we wanted to be able to watch baseball playoffs but they don't get even TBS. So we had to go to a bar (ok so not bad, I guess!). But I would stay there again.

The place was nice and a short walk to the beach.

There is a storage cabinet outside with many beach items to borrow. We enjoyed using them at the beach. A couple things were in disrepair. The kitchen table fell apart when trying to unfold it. The top fell off and almost landed on my foot. It had come apart and someone had staged it as if it was ok. The mirrored closet door was cracked and taped together and the cable box didn't work. The good thing was we called the phone # and they sent out a really nice guy named Ozzy. He fixed the cable and it took a long time to figure out. He was so nice and friendly. We appreciate him and he should be recognized for his dedication 😃.

Great Location

3 minute walk to the center of town where you'll find great shops, restaurants and beach access. Spacious apartment for my 2 friends, myself and our needs. Great that the unit had two doors to allow the earlier risers to leave undisturbing the late risers. Outdoor shower was great to wash all my scuba gear. Front porch with view of the ocean was nice to wake up to. Overall nice place for the price. Would stay again.
