The property was very nice it accommodated our family we had 7 adults and 3 pre-teens. One thing would be nice is to have more towels something to think about with that many people. We were very comfortable in this property. We had a wonderful time, and the accommodation help tremendously. Thank you for letting us stay.

Loved our stay

Stayed with some friends over the weekend and had a great time. Very spacious, somewhat older house but still very beautiful and homey. Easy check in and easy to use the golf cart and everything else. Our only complaint was it does get warm even mid september with no AC. They provided fans which was great but something to think about if staying in summer months. Besides that it was a great stay!

The property was great. It was charming and had all the amenities that are perfect for a family to stay at. Like most properties on the island, these houses tend to be on the older and dated side, but no knock on it - this was fully expected. The golf cart is a plus since this was beneficial in helping us navigate the uphill to get to the property, in addition to being able to go to the groceries store with ease. Overall, a great property with a lot of space and great lighting. Plenty of outdoor areas. Area is a bit off from the bars/restaurants, but it was not a problem to reach with the golf cart. The only issue, which is most likely not the property's fault is that when we arrived the trash cans were filled to the brim with cans pouring out of it, most likely from a previous renter. What we realized upon entering the property, however, and reading about the island's trash policy was that trash doesn't get picked up until Tuesday mornings (which we had checked in on a Sunday so it was a bit jarring when we first arrived). Overall, great property.

Beautiful home

The home was beautiful and fully equipped with everything you need to make meals and . The stairs were a little steep for my 1 year old so that was my only draw back of the home but this house is perfect otherwise. The golf cart was perfect to get around the island, definitely a plus, since the house is on a hill. But the property is close to mostly everything.

This house is great. Great location, nice big areas for hanging out, kitchen was really nice, golf cart was clutch. My biggest feedback for anyone looking into this property is look at the beds available in the pictures. The listing says 10, but down below it recommends 6 adults and 2 children, while the "where you'll sleep" section only lists 3 beds if I remember correctly. This was even more frustrating as I'd booked a different house under the same company originally which listed 8 people for capacity but the pictures showed it had beds enough for 10. When our number flexed over 8 they said I'd need to book something else. Another thing, I've never had to sign a separate rental agreement when booking through vrbo so be aware that will be coming through email. Last thing, directions were slightly confusing because i assume they're boiler plate for all the properties, but many were erroneous or NA for this specific property. It was a great property for our stay, just slightly frustrating on those couple accounts.

Perfect Location

This older home had an awesome location just a few blocks off the main strip. The house is very big with lots of amazing outdoor space. The house was musty when we got there so we opened the windows and that helped. I recommend leaving a window or two open when you go into town as the smell returns when the house is closed up. Well appointed house. Bring your own beach towels or rent some down by the beach. The early check in they allowed us was a huge bonus. Make sure to charge the golf cart as soon as you get there because we went to get a bunch of groceries and one of our party went back to get the golf cart to come pick us up and it was not running. We did get it working the next morning and it was a super awesome amenity. Very very fun.

Beautiful Catalina

It's hard to pick a place to rent when you aren't familiar with the area. But this home was true to it's description. We had 7 adults and 2 others staying elsewhere that joined us. The community areas are spacious with plenty of room for everyone including the kitchen/dining area, the outdoor patio table and 2 indoor seating areas on both floors. Un update on other reviews: there was a new coffee pot (but needed to purchase coffee), the BBQ wasn't working, but property managers were responsive and provided BBQ (tho we ended up not using). The home is on a bit of a hill, so we appreciated the very nice and fairly new electric golf cart. The primary bedroom and shower is very nice. Downstairs there is a bathroom w/ a somewhat small shower--but we managed. There was a strange noise coming from a locked downstairs room which we determined was a tankless water heater that was bothersome at times, but once we figured it out didn't lose any sleep over it. This home was clean, in a quiet neighborhood, not far from the village area. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for two nights. The house is fully stocked, lots of dishes, glasses, pots and pans etc. Everything we needed to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. The rooms were comfortable.
