Stroll to Beach, Relax in Comfort! Jacuzzi Tub, Jet Shower, BBQ - Top Rated!
About this condo rental
Nestled in Avalon, this charming condo for $437 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Our La Casa Sirena (The Mermaid House) at Bahia Vista in Avalon on beautiful Santa Catalina Island offers affordable luxury just three blocks from the beach. We provide you with FREE WIFI, Netflix, Roku, BBQ and propane on a private patio, pool and spa. (Note: During the pandemic, the association has opted to do repairs to the pool and spa, which will not be available for use until sometime in 2023.) We regret the inconvenience!) We fully remodeled, including wood floors throughout. The property features tasteful Catalina and mermaid-themed décor, fun for the whole family! We have two spacious bedrooms upstairs plus a downstairs cove and can comfortably sleep six. In the Master, enjoy a king bed, walk-in double-head shower, double-vanity in a lush, terracotta setting. The second bedroom features comfortable twin beds in a nautical theme. The guest bath includes a Jacuzzi tub set amidst rich marble tile. A comfortable daybed/trundle downstairs with pull-out completes the accommodations. And as the name suggests, there are plenty of mermaids to be found! Most units at Bahia Vista are available for rent, making the complex perfect for family reunions or multiple families who wish to vacation together but have separate accommodations. For occasional extra-warm weather we include both ceiling and floor fans. (Note: Local rules are in flux. Some areas of the grounds, including the pool, may be closed or have limited access during the pandemic.) VALUE GUARANTEE - Why is La Casa Sirena such a great value? Unlike some big companies, we are proud to charge only what our cleaning company charges us with nothing tacked on, and no "administrative fee," no "processing fee," no "mandatory damage waver" or any other fees from us! (The service fee you'll see is charged by VRBO.) For our longer-term guests: We apply a 5% discount to a stay of 7 consecutive nights, and a 10% discount for a month's stay (28 consecutive nights). We look forward to welcoming you to our Catalina getaway. 😊😊 Most sincerely yours, Mel and Leslie

It was fine, however, the cleaner was not as thorough, and the neighbor above was a bit loud with their music.

Me and my 2 lifelong friends spent a long weekend here. It was adorable and spacious. We could easily walk to anywhere! We would be thrilled to visit again!

The townhome was clean and comfortable. Easy location.
The pool area has been out of commission for a long time so not sure what that is about.

Check-in time for this property was 3:00 pm. When we arrived at 3:45, the property had not been cleaned since the last check-out. Called the property manager who was apologetic and sent out a cleaning crew, but we started our stay by sitting outside for over an hour while waiting for the place to be cleaned. Aside from the rough start, the place was comfortable and was plenty of room for our party of 4

We were happy with the digs. Spacious rooms and not too far into town. The beds were comfortable and the place was very well prepared and cleaned. We could not figure out the TV so instructions should be added.

Great kitchen & dining room! We really appreciate the late check out of 2PM you gave us!

My family stayed for 2 nights over Memorial Day weekend. It was very comfortable for my wife and I and our 3 kids. The location is a short walk from the harbor, but it’s further back where it’s quieter. Great location and we’d stay again.

The unit was spacious. We had problems with the toilets and we heard a screeching sound from one of the bathrooms that continued through the night. This noise was so loud we weren't able to sleep. The property manager was gracious and came to our unit around 9 PM and fixed one of the toilets. We also had to purchase bath gel for the shower and soap for hand washing.

The pool has been out of service for over 6 months and does not appear to be anywhere near ready for use, but the property description still shows there is a pool available. Be aware there is no pool. There were a few missing odds and ends in the kitchen, otherwise we had a very pleasant stay.

Booked this cute condo for the half marathon/10K weekend. Loved the proximity to the starting line of the race! Was able to walk down just a few minutes before the start. Very clean and spacious unit and nice quiet complex. The unit was nicely equipped with dishes, coffee, and a few basics should you need. The pool/spa were under construction, but we knew they would not be available during our visit. The proximity to town was excellent. Did not communicate at all with property management so I cannot adequately review that. I put 3 stars for that category but really it was an N/A. Everything else 5 start for sure. Would definitely recommend a stay in this lovely unit. The walkability factor is really a huge plus.

It’s a great unit to stay! We have stayed in a few units at Bahia Vista. Our only suggestions would be screens on balcony doors to keep bugs out and there were no frying and spatulas. Other than that, a great place

We had a blast visiting Avalon! It was a real blessing to have a centrally located VRBO. The taxi service was amazing and we throughly enjoyed our time in the island!

Nice space and a good location. Comfortable sleeping conditions. Best for a family not 4-6 adults. Needs some TLC - many things need some up keep/repair. Ice maker, Door knob, Toilet, sink. No Pool was a disappointment after a long day in town. Wish it was not listed on amenities.
5.0
A great condo for a family. Loved having space and not feeling like we’re on top of each other. We’ve stayed in many Catalina Cottages and all of them are cramped and small. This was fantastic. We didn’t have soap for the dishwasher and sent a text to the property manager to see if that was something we needed to provide, not only did she respond within minutes, she brought over dishwashing stuff right away. Fantastic staff.
Only downside was that the property was not ready at 4pm and we were waiting for the staff to finish cleaning. Thankfully, the condo has great shaded seating areas and we were able to relax for a bit while they finished. Understandable with everyone in the world being understaffed so not a big deal. Happy to stay here for the week and will definitely be back!

We appreciate the renters sharing their property with us but unfortunately it was not as clean as it should have been.
Upon arrival the cleaning lady had just arrived and said she would be finished in "45 min". It was not left very clean. Crumbs in the bedroom next to the beds, trash left by other renters, windows were dirty, the upstairs and downstairs balcony were filthy (not inviting to sit in) with dust, spider webs, dirty floors, and dirty chairs.
No hand soap in the bathrooms, watered-down soap bottle in kitchen. Cleanliness is key when we are traveling with our 7 year old and elderly parents. This made us feel unsafe! With the current pandemic situation the owners and management company should make this a number one priority.
We are disappointed to have received this kind of welcoming Especially when the rental rates are so high.

We had a total blast. The weather was perfect and the distance to town was easily walkable.
My only feedback would be that their were still a former renters clothes in the drawers of one room upon arrival - one park of kids underwear and another drawer w some womens clothes. Also one of the phone numbers on the instructions was wrong and so I had to call chela instead of the property manager Ipon checkout to make sure it was clear we left on time. But that’s truly minor compared to the great (super easy) communication and instructions we had w the owners prior to arrival. Still a five star experience.

Ehhh…. (Deep sigh)
To be honest with you I was extremely disappointed that the pool and jacuzzi wasn’t available to use. I booked this rental based on that! I had other properties I was looking at and the only reason why I chose this one was because it was advertised that a pool and jacuzzi was available to us. When we arrived we soon realized that both were empty. I would have liked to have know this in advance so that way I could have canceled booking for another property on island. Dealing with a teenager who is special needs and not having what he was told was available for him to use wasn’t fun at all!!
Pretty much started our weekend off on a bad foot and I’m still continuing to explain why the pool wasn’t available to use after he was told it was.
Over all I was pleased with the home itself but the ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ Is because of the pool and jacuzzi and lack of communication on that not being available to us.

We had a great time. I’m not sure what the deal is with an empty pool and jacuzzi. The men,that rented the condo next to us .were very loud and kept everyone up Saturday night. Should get beach towels and pot holders for the condo.

The walk to the Wrigley memorial is just around the corner. We also had to learn that the ER is very close as well. Since we had many more hours in the unit than planned, it really helped that we were so comfortable there.

The condo was nice, clean and met our needs. It is as advertised in the photos. I was disappointed by the common area of the condo property. The pool/spa was closed for COVID and the landscape/grounds were a little un-kept. It was pretty loud at times, as the balcony out front is right on the street where the golf cart rentals drive by all day long.

Super convenient to EVERYTHING. Walked literally everywhere. Nice unit that was pretty quiet, as it a little tucked away and not on a major street. The unit is well kept. The main bathroom is especially awesome. The shower rocks having 2 showe heads. What luxury! The only thing I would suggest is getting a Keurig machine for morning coffee. I brought my favorite coffee pods hoping there would be one. Found 2 coffee makers, and did not bring (nor did I want to go buy) coffee grounds, especially for me as a solo mon with 2 young sons who do not drink coffee. The owners were very responsive and helpful. I would definitely return to this property.
