The location of this unit affords fabulous views of the harbor and Crescent Street! The only detractor to the location is the very steep hill you must walk up to get to the steps to the unit. I don’t recall reading about that in the listing, and it could be a challenge for some folks. Otherwise, the unit, though compact, is comfortable and the management company was very responsive to messages.

This location is amazing, and the views from the deck may be in the top 10 in Avalon. Really short walk to Avalon, the beach, lovers cove, the Ferry docks. The indoor space is small, really small. One bed in a room with no storage space, two pull out couches, so plan on having your luggage in the living room. Really important to keep in mind the Catalina Co.'s quite hours 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. everyone is supposed to be off their decks. So the greatest part of this place cannot be fully utilized 10 hours/day. All that being said, I'd stay there again, for sure.

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect, boasting a million-dollar view from the outside patio deck. It was incredibly convenient not having to walk far after getting off the boat, especially since we had our luggage with us. The place was spotless and comfortable, and everything was fully stocked and in working order. I would definitely stay here again.
You cannot find a property with a better view or proximity to everything!

The location is excellent but the 10 am check out time is an insult. Most rentals are 11 am or 12 pm. For the price they charge per night, the check out time is a huge disappointment.

Best property on the island. Second time here. Won't be the last. Does not get any better for views or location to everything on the island.
The house has an outstanding view of Avalon Bay. Restaurants shopping everything is very close by.

Best Location in Catalina!
A friend told us about this magnificent unit and what an awesome patio and view. It had not to mention the most Premier location to the harbor! Well, I have to say it exceeded my expectations by a longshot as the location is simply amazing and the outdoor patio and deck are exceptional. Jerry & Joy
We had a marvelous stay. This place is absolutely ideal for a couple or two. So close to everything and there is not a better view in Avalon. We will be back

This is a perfect location for any couple that wants to get away, relax on the patio that oversees the entire city, do a little shopping or find a good place to eat. Best of all, everything is in short walking distance including the ferry. The people that run the place are exceptional and are easily accessible. I highly recommend staying here!

Lovely Postcard views
Beautiful view! My family enjoyed it very much. Adorable art accents to enhance the ocean theme. The patio is relaxing and the kitchen spacious. Great for athletic people who can walk uphill and climb stairs carrying luggage. I wanted my sister to enjoy her 1st visit to Catalina and she definitely did! My daughter loved it as well! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Friends weekend get away
Amazing location for a forever view. limited to zero contact to get help with issues - No TV all weekend (*really just wanted a music channel for sound - no connection) Once arrived we found out we were given a "Starter kit" Be sure that you go shopping for toiletries. one would think paying over $1000. a night you would be provided with the essentials. sheets were filthy and one pull-out bed was loaded with crumbs. lots of stairs to get to the front door - but was a good exercise for us ladies!

Best view of Avalon
Easily accessible, very close to the ferry and main attractions. The deck and views from the living room were absolutely beautiful. However the yelling and screaming from the public basketball court directly under the property was echoing up to the house. Went on until midnight 1st night and 10:30pm the 2nd night.
