Guys trip, golf and hanging

The pictures don’t do the property justice. It very nice, and the view from the patio is great. Beach stuff is provided in the garage. Short walk to the restaurants and bars. The golf course is about a 15 minute walk away. One thing I’d like to mention for people who may have a little trouble walking or maybe a little older; the property is about 20 minutes from the ferry with the last 5 minutes being all up hill. Pulling bags up the hill was a little bit of work but not bad. Otherwise great trip!

Fantastic place to stay

Would be 5 stars if the beds and pillows were a little nicer (not bad, just could be better) and if the golf cart that is in the garage were able to be used by the guests. Those are the only 2 little, nit-picky things I can think of. Overall, fantastic place to stay, awesome views, killer kitchen and area to hang out with plenty of seating. Without the golf cart you can still walk into the "downtown" no problem, however you'd need to rent something to do any real exploring. We walked up to the botanical gardens and that was a decent hike but overall was worth it. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous view but downsides on property

The stunning views help slightly ease the other glaring problems with this property. Very dated except the kitchen. Beds old and uncomfortable. One room in particular had garbage under the bed, stained and dirty sheets, human hair from the last occupants, and general lack of caring. Unfortunately after contacting Catalina Vacation rentals four times, they simply did NOT bother to return ANY of my calls to try and rectify the problems. Therefore as much as I loathe leaving a negative review I have to warn others. This is not a cheap rental by any stretch. So it would seem they have you hostage and “ too bad, so sad” is their policy. I have owned rental properties in the past and this was simply a disgraceful way to be treated. What a shame!

Family friendly facility - access stairway is a bit of a test for seniors over 80 years old

Curtains might be helpful to block the security lights from the outside at night. The overall experience was generally positive.

Pretty place in Avalon

Nice, spacious 4 BR, 2 level house. Great kitchen. Good bathrooms. The hill to the house is steep and you must go up an outside flight of stairs to enter. Otherwise no complaints. Several of us are in our 70s and did it okay.

Vacation Stay

Had a great vacation stay with plenty of room for whole family. The walk up the hill was worth the spacious room, balcony view and great kitchen facilities. It would help to advertise a child playpen is included in the amenities...it was nice to have but we rented one because it wasn't advertised. Great place to stay overall!

Catalina Stay in Late July

We stayed at 220W in late July 2024 - 3 nights. It was great! I will say that the house is located midway up a very steep hill and once you get to the house there is lots of stairs. I highly recommend using either Ride Circuit or hailing a cab when going to the house with luggage or those who struggle with walking up hills. Once you get in the house, they offer a garage code that is at street level. We found this useful to store things we didn't need up in the house like drag along wagons or water toys we brough along. The kitchen has an amazing gas oven/range and Subzero Fridge. I highly recommend parasailing and renting a cabana at Decantso Beach Club.

Perfect house for our group!

We loved this home. Very cozy, great kitchen (we cooked most of our meals) and the beds were comfortable. Overall, we highly recommend. Good communication with the property manager. We had a group of 6. It is a bit of a hike of the hill with luggage, but we managed!

Perfect for two families with older children

Great meeting place for two families of four with school-aged kids (aged 9-11): we would definitely return. Worked great for us but wouldn’t necessarily recommend for younger kids due to glass table in living room, steep stairs to front door, etc. Overall clean and as-advertised. Short walking distance from everything, with the caveat that there is a steep a hill leading up to the property so best for the able-bodied. Enjoyed being part of a “locals” neighborhood as it gave the stay a more authentic and less touristy feel… we could escape the cruise shippers! Lovely balcony with a grill for outside meals and enjoying the sunshine. Very nice gas stove and range for cooking. Minimal toilet paper/paper towels provided so guests should be prepared to supply their own. Also, make sure to bring enough clothes as there is no washer dryer and you don’t want to spend your time at the laundromat!

Great Kitchen, Pretty Good Views

Lots of pots, pans, and utensils in the kitchen. Nice grill on the deck. Great for our group that likes to cook together. We had some issues with the hot water not being hot... but then it was hot again so who knows? House was not cleaned properly upon check-in, but management made it right in the end. I bring this up not to say this place is not clean (I expect the problem was a bit of bad luck on a busy week and is not the norm), but to highlight management's responsiveness: it's good. Would recommend!
