Ok

My husband booked a Catalina getaway for my birthday… the location was awesome however upon entering the place we noticed everything looked very rundown but seeing there were new trash bags in the trash can I was glad at least that there was housekeeping there. The couch was so dilapidated to such an extent that it was impossible to relax for the entirety of our trip and we developed hip pain. The tv in the bedroom did not work so there was nowhere else we could watch tv. The bed was horribly noisy and the other bed had broken pieces that could’ve been at least glued. The shower head was broken so you had to hold the wand in your hand while taking a shower. Then on the morning of checkout we get an email that we should take the trash out, replace the trash bags and wash our own dishes! I was mortified when there was no dish soap and I realized we had used dishes that other people also “just rinsed”. The wine glass had a crust at the bottom that I was unable to scrape off and that the housekeeping evidence of clean trash bags were by the last occupants NOT housekeeping. At any price per night the least they could do is put a decent enough couch and working tv so that the guests could relax and enjoy themselves and hire housekeepers and not require guest to do housekeeping. Save your money, it’s better to spend a little more or stay at a hotel cause it’s definitely not getting your money’s worth! It’s insulting!

I grew up sailing over to Catalina ever year with my grandfather and we got the family to all get together again. The house was a perfect layout for my family, the only thing is the properties could use a little vamping. But it’s all the houses pretty much. All in all we enjoyed our stay

Very clean and great location. All amenities were in good working order. Other than property being dated it’s a great little place

Very cute little house. Could do with some updates - several items were broken (heater, kitchen shelves).

We loved our stay. Walking distance to everything. Furniture in living room can use some updating but other than that, everything was great!

We didn’t spend much time in place but had all we needed while we were there with the exception of Couldn’t find to beach towels and instructions for multiple remotes. I had two teens with me who can figure all that out but I would have been lost.

We came when the weather was on the hotter side. Sure wish it had some sort of ac unit to use in bedroom at least while sleeping. It was very uncomfortable hot even at night. Left windows open which then you hear crying babies, yelling, people partying wake you up in the place directly across from our window. Another issue that happened when we left to enjoy beach and it being so Hot we left windows open in cottage , unfortunately someone decide to break in and rummage thru all of our luggage! Thankfully we had all our money with us and didn’t bring in valuable jewelry. The sliding glass door was left wide open when they left and all our items were everywhere. Very concerning didn’t report it because nothing was stolen. Wasn’t to sure who to contact either. Kinda left us a little uncomfortable sleeping at night also with windows open due to it being so Hot! Any other time we left we locked every window in the house. Which then left the cottage to feel like a 500 degree oven when we returned! It was horrible! We also didn’t have a golf cart included in cottage like some others did. Thankfully I brought a foldable wagon to lug items. The couch also is very uncomfortable to sit on. I know We won’t be back sadly to this rental. The sleeping arrangements are a little awkward to - maybe purchase a nicer couch with a better pull out bed that’s comfortable. With how much we paid nightly I wished for better.
