Catalina Island Duplex - Steps to Beach & Pier!

The property looks just like the photos and the location is very convenient, with easy walking access to the beach and Vons.That said, it may not be the best fit for families or anyone looking for a quiet getaway. The unit is surrounded by long-term residents, so there was quite a bit of everyday noise from neighbors, trash pickup, and traffic on the truck route. The street can be busy with golf carts and tour buses, and on our dates there were cruise ship crowds, which made the area feel hectic.There is no air conditioning, and during our stay the weather was very hot and humid. Because the windows open onto an alley with trash bins below, we didn’t feel comfortable leaving them open at night, which made sleeping difficult. We also found the beach area extremely crowded, with people reserving most of the space early in the day.Overall, the location is convenient and matches the listing, but for our family it wasn’t the relaxing first-time Catalina experience we were hoping for.

Everything was perfect for a family of 5 we will definitely be back

House was clean and kitchen well appointed. Convenient walk to most attractions, Street was unfortunately very well traveled by commercial vehicles so noise was an issue. . Bathrooms were a little awkward in their arrangement and difficult to maneuver at times. ,

The place was conveniently located and very clean. Communication with the rental team was easy. The beds were comfortable (except the pillows). It’s a loud area but eventually it got quieter. They don’t provide beach towels which was inconvenient for us.

Sweet little place with all the needed comforts. Easy walk to everything in town. May be time for a deep clean and paint touch ups, but overall we enjoyed it immensely (and we were 3 generations ranging from 15 to 77).
