Loved the location and the price was reasonable. Appreciated it being dog friendly. Electronics could use an upgrade. Satellite tv or streaming services would add a lot. Also need to upgrade blinds. All of them are cheap and broken. The single bed in the upstairs bed room is not suitable for an adult. More than 1 ice tray would be nice.

Great house for our family. We will be back !

House looks cute and is in a great location - 5 minute walk to everywhere. That said, I've rented a lot of VRBOs over the years, and the condition of this one is definitely one of the worst. Place really needs updating, especially in the furniture and the bathrooms. The couch in the main room is dirty and needs replacing. The downstairs bathroom has one of the worst grout jobs I've ever seen. I've never grouted in a pre-fab shower, but I think I could have done a better job. Also there are cracked tiles in the surround, the tub has a lot of stains, and the sink spritzes needle-like streams that splash everywhere while washing your hands. If you are 6 feet tall or taller, you probably don't want this place as you will be scraping your head on the ceiling. I think the ceiling in the entry way and main room is right at 6 feet. I'm 5'7", and I could place my palm on the ceiling without standing on my toes. Very claustrophobic. The upstairs is even worse from this standpoint. The kitchen supplies (silverware, pots & pans, etc.) are kind of gross - we didn't cook anything during our stay, and I'm glad we didn't. The mattress in the master bedroom feels broken up - we were sinking into it pretty good. And don't even think about opening the closets - there is so much rust in the tracks that they are unusable. The supplies were pathetic: no beach towels, a couple of very small half-dollar sized rounds of soap in the bathrooms, and the shampoo supplied is one of those tear-open single use packs about the size of a pack of ketchup at a fast food restaurant. So if you decide to stay here, bring your own or purchase it on the island. Finally, the rental company is very rigid and inflexible: you must pick up your keys between 3-5pm and you must check out by 10am. Don't know why they can't activate the combination lock like most VRBOs so you can check in after 5. Also don't know why they make you check out so early - the cleaning job they do is not very good. The floors were so dirty that my feet turned black just walking around barefoot for a few minutes. If the cleaning job is going to be that weak, why do you need 5 hours to do it before the next guest arrives? They probably spent 30 minutes cleaning this place before we got there. The location is awesome: 5 minute walk to the docks, 2 minute walk to the main part of town, good restaurants very close. So if you want a great location, that is ALL this place has going for it.

Great place to stay! Very close to beach and restaurants. We would definitely stay again. Upstairs patio made a great social time. We loved it!!

We have been coming to Catalina for over 13 years for thanksgiving. This house was the “Worst” house that we ever rented. Everything about this house was just wrong. The couch in the living room belongs in the dump. Only one channel worked on the tv. We could play a dvd but had no sound. We were unable to watch any of the thanksgiving day football games in the living room. The only tv’s that worked were in the bedrooms. The upstairs bathroom is a joke. It’s only good if you’re under 5’ tall. They tried to make a single story house into a two story house. Big fat fail. Whoever did the remodel needs to find another line of work. Nothing in this house is built to code. It’s a joke. I’m going to be more careful next time we rent a home here again. We know the homes here are all a bit different, but this house should be condemned. The only redeeming feature of this house was the master bedroom bed it was very comfortable. We would have been better off in a hotel room.

If you are young and want to have a party and do not care about cleanliness, this is the house for you. It was not for us. We took our 3 Grandchildren here. Not clean and not even enough dishes for us to eat with. The good thing is location...that is about it.

The house was great and we had a very nice time. The rental managers were not very flexible with accommodating even a 10-15 minute late check-in (past 5:00 p.m.) and very firmly said that we MUST check-out by 10 am. The lack of flexibility was VERY disappointing.

This house is very convenient to downtown and wharf. Nicely laid out . Upstairs bathroom great for kids or small adults but not for a 6'4" son. All the basics were there. We had some minor maintenance issues which were addressed immediatelly
