Girls birthday weekend!

We loved this house - super cute and cheery. We do not consider this to be a 2 bedroom. There is a master bedroom, bunk beds in the hallway upstairs, and a murphy bed that pulls out of the wall in the laundry room. Close quarters for 6 people. But served its purpose! You will not get a response sending a message through VRBO to the property manager - you have to call to ask questions. They were super helpful and let us check in early! Also be prepared to climb a hill to get to this house! But once you are there it is a cute place!

Great location as long as you don’t mind brief hike up steep hill. Beautiful views and outdoor lounging areas. Cleanliness was marginal and kitchen needing some spiffing.

Great Property

We have stayed in many different places in Avalon. This was by far the best. A cute house close to everything. The backyard space was great for hosting a dinner party and porches in front were great for breakfast and afternoon relaxing.

Had to do laundry during vacation!

Upon arrival the property looked liked it had not been cleaned. There were unmade beds, which means they did not wash or change the linens. In the bathrooms, the sinks were dirty and dirty towels were hanging. There were not enough clean towels for me and my guest. This meant I had to do laundry! It was obvious it was not cleaned after the last guest. Lastly, I tried to reach out informing them about the issue and there was no response. Will not be returning.

Catalina Getaway

My family and I stayed the weekend following Thanksgiving. Weather was perfect, location of home was a short walk to Avalon and all it has to offer. House was as pictures depicted so no surprises, which is good. Definitely would have been better if golf cart was included, they really are a must on the island. Communication wasn’t as good as I would have liked but overall a great place, great stay!

Diving Vacation

A beautiful place to stay with extremely easy access to town and lots of beds and space for adults to eat outside, sit together, and all have quiet corners to sleep in. Note that Whittley runs uphill so it can be a haul if you want to walk luggage or gear to and from the house, but it was a really perfect and lovely spot for a relaxing dive vacation. I can't wait to go back!

Weekend get away

Home was lovely, updated and new, however, no toliet paper in upstairs bathroom, patio gas was empty, the managment did respond quickly and get it re filled. The golf cart shown in the pictures DOES NOT COME WITH THE PROPERTY- this was very disappointing, why even show it? the next door neighbors were very nice and the back yard is beautiful!

Nice property

The property was very nice! We were very pleased! Well appointed kitchen. The only comment I have is that I had asked out a late checkout and was told that was not available. There was not another guest booked for that night, it would have been nice with a baby to have had a later check out.

great house but needed towels

The house was perfect for our group. The only thing was that were only 2 towels for a group of 6. I went to the office on Friday but as of our leave date on Sunday, we still never received enough towels. We had to buy some to take showers.

It was perfect! Honestly, the pictures could never capture the true emotion we felt while there.

The house is perfectly perfect! Neighbors were most welcoming and informative. We travelled from Maryland and Virginia and are already planning the next time we can return! We have never enjoyed ourselves more!
