Having the golf cart was also key especially since we had to drive up and down the hill each day for a lacrosse tournament at Joe Machado field. The location is right around the corner from Vons and walking to all the waterfront shops and restaurants - great donut place just down the street with huge donuts too! I would come back and stay here again, my only suggestion would be to add some kitchen shears to the kitchen please, that would have come in handy. We were in communciation with Cruz before and during our stay. He was helpful and accomodating. I am very grateful for everything he did for us to help accomodate our schedule that weekend!

This year we rented a condo that was $1,000 per night and had so many ants, spiders and spiderwebs. kitchen cabinets couldn't even close properly and futon "couch" in family room was so uncomfortable and smelled musty.

Highly recommend staying here because it is close to the beach and walking distance to the Vons, restaurants, & bars. The air bnb itself was very clean, had plenty of shower towels as well as beach towels. Also was equipped with AC!

She got Covid on the Sunday before they were supposed to arrive on Friday. She called the minute she got a positive test to try and reschedule to a different time.

He said he was done with Covid, couldn't save the place for them. She said she didn't want to come with Covid but she had a $950 deposit that she was going to loose! He hung up on her!

The views are stunning as you can see from my photos. When we initially arrived the door was not open as we had been told. It took 30 minutes of calls to get the property manager (Rita I believe) to come let us in. Apparently it was a miscommunication between the owner and the manager on site. It wasn't a very pleasant wait because we were pretty tired from a 4 hour cruise to the island. Additionally, the room had not been cleaned from the prior renters. However, the manager immediately got 2 maids on the job and they were very quick to do a great cleaning job. My review would definitely be 5 stars for this property if this hadn't happened. It wasn't the end of the world but it was an inconvenience that is pretty inexcusable for the rate we were paying. The condo itself was a 2 bedroom. It was modern and clean. Wireless internet. Flat screen TV and comfortable furniture. Full kitchen with everything you need. Oddly enough it didn't have air conditioning but on Catalina it's probably not necessary very often. Really enjoyable place to stay. Right down the hill was a very small beach area for swimming. There were also boats moored near shore so if you boat here you can secure your things nearby. The property has a security guard who screens who can enter it, which was nice. The guards we talked to were extremely friendly. Our room came with a golf cart and I'd definitely recommend that you secure one as well. It's not far to the main district, but it's not really walkable either. I'd highly suggest staying here. Just make sure to triple check that your room keys will be waiting!

After removing the bedding, we discovered what appeared to be a large blood stain on the mattress that had clearly been covered up rather than properly addressed or the mattress replaced. This was not a small spot or minor issue -- this was human contamination hidden beneath the sheets where guests were expected to sleep. While the hotel did refund our entire stay, there truly was no other acceptable resolution given the severity of the situation. Refunding us does not erase how disturbing and unsanitary this experience was. As hospitality professionals ourselves, we know the standards that should be followed regarding guest safety, cleanliness, and biohazard protocols, which is exactly why this was so shocking to us. This was not simply an oversight in housekeeping -- it reflects a serious failure in hotel sanitation and management procedures. Guests should never have to question whether their sleeping environment has been properly cleaned and sanitized. We left extremely disappointed and honestly horrified that this condition was knowingly left for incoming guests.
