NEW - Newly Remodeled Two Bedroom Unit In Town

Avalon

NEW - Newly Remodeled Two Bedroom Unit In Town is set in Avalon. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Descanso Beach is 1.2 km away.

The spacious holiday home has a patio, 2 bedrooms, a living room and a well-equipped kitchen with an oven and a microwave. Towels and bed linen are offered in the holiday home. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. Where do I start?! We loved the rooms, which had really comfortable bedding (in my opinion) and they had enough space for our family of 3. Its a beach cottage so although its charming in size, it’s perfect for Catalina!The balcony was a family favorite, we loved sitting outside, having our coffee and people watching. The kitchen had everything we needed, the location was perfect, everything exceeded our expectations. They even have an awesome touch screen console on the wall that gives property information, local recommendations, weather, all the need to know things for your trip! The host communicates so well and effortlessly, we had zero issues with settling in or checking out! Just perfect!
