The walk up the hill was worth the spacious room, balcony view and great kitchen facilities. It would help to advertise a child playpen is included in the amenities...it was nice to have but we rented one because it wasn't advertised. Great place to stay overall! ##### ROCHELLE C.

It is a bit of a hike of the hill with luggage, but we managed! ##### Carol M.

It very nice, and the view from the patio is great. Beach stuff is provided in the garage. Short walk to the restaurants and bars. The golf course is about a 15 minute walk away. One thing I’d like to mention for people who may have a little trouble walking or maybe a little older; the property is about 20 minutes from the ferry with the last 5 minutes being all up hill. Pulling bags up the hill was a little bit of work but not bad. Otherwise great trip! ##### John J.

Great kitchen. Good bathrooms. The hill to the house is steep and you must go up an outside flight of stairs to enter. Otherwise no complaints. Several of us are in our 70s and did it okay. ##### Wayne H. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### NOLAN D. 23 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic place to stay Would be 5 stars if the beds and pillows were a little nicer (not bad, just could be better) and if the golf cart that is in the garage were able to be used by the guests. Those are the only 2 little, nit-picky things I can think of. Overall, fantastic place to stay, awesome views, killer kitchen and area to hang out with plenty of seating. Without the golf cart you can still walk into the "downtown" no problem, however you'd need to rent something to do any real exploring. We walked up to the botanical gardens and that was a decent hike but overall was worth it. Highly recommend. ##### NOLAN D. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Erik H. 28 Sept 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Kitchen, Pretty Good Views Lots of pots, pans, and utensils in the kitchen. Nice grill on the deck. Great for our group that likes to cook together. We had some issues with the hot water not being hot... but then it was hot again so who knows? House was not cleaned properly upon check-in, but management made it right in the end. I bring this up not to say this place is not clean (I expect the problem was a bit of bad luck on a busy week and is not the norm), but to highlight management's responsiveness: it's good. Would recommend! ##### Erik H. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris L. 27 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Catalina Stay in Late July We stayed at 220W in late July 2024 - 3 nights. It was great! I will say that the house is located midway up a very steep hill and once you get to the house there is lots of stairs. I highly recommend using either Ride Circuit or hailing a cab when going to the house with luggage or those who struggle with walking up hills. Once you get in the house, they offer a garage code that is at street level. We found this useful to store things we didn't need up in the house like drag along wagons or water toys we brough along. The kitchen has an amazing gas oven/range and Subzero Fridge. I highly recommend parasailing and renting a cabana at Decantso Beach Club. ##### Chris L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Wendy M. 22 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Nice home on a very steep hill Beautiful, clean home on a very steep hill with a nice view from the deck. Upside down floor plan. No laundry, stingy on towels.( Only one kitchen towel provided for a 5 day stay). No hot water in one bathroom. Called office, but they never delivered. Incorrect TV instructions, no batteries in a TV remote. Lots of beach accessories in garage was a nice surprise, chairs, umbrella, etc. ##### Wendy M. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne M., Charlottesville, VA 6 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for two families with older children Great meeting place for two families of four with school-aged kids (aged 9-11): we would definitely return. Worked great for us but wouldn’t necessarily recommend for younger kids due to glass table in living room, steep stairs to front door, etc. Overall clean and as-advertised. Short walking distance from everything, with the caveat that there is a steep a hill leading up to the property so best for the able-bodied. Enjoyed being part of a “locals” neighborhood as it gave the stay a more authentic and less touristy feel… we could escape the cruise shippers! Lovely balcony with a grill for outside meals and enjoying the sunshine. Very nice gas stove and range for cooking. Minimal toilet paper/paper towels provided so guests should be prepared to supply their own. Also, make sure to bring enough clothes as there is no washer dryer and you don’t want to spend your time at the laundromat! ##### Anne M. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Leslie B. 30 Sept 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Gorgeous view but downsides on property The stunning views help slightly ease the other glaring problems with this property. Very dated except the kitchen. Beds old and uncomfortable. One room in particular had garbage under the bed, stained and dirty sheets, human hair from the last occupants, and general lack of caring. Unfortunately after contacting Catalina Vacation rentals four times, they simply did NOT bother to return ANY of my calls to try and rectify the problems. Therefore as much as I loathe leaving a negative review I have to warn others. This is not a cheap rental by any stretch. So it would seem they have you hostage and “ too bad, so sad” is their policy. I have owned rental properties in the past and this was simply a disgraceful way to be treated. What a shame! ##### Leslie B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline F. 15 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An excellent rental but can use a few improvements. The prosThe living spaces were large with excellent couches, chairs and tables. The 3 bathrooms were great for our group of 5 women. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen. We had all the ours, pans, bowls, dishes, glassware and utensils we needed for cooking all our meals. The bedrooms were large with good closet space and dresser space. The upstairs balcony had very comfy furniture in excellent condition. The views were really wonderful. The house was nicely decorated and we felt like we were visiting a friend’s house instead of a rental. What could be improved. The bedrooms had a musty smell. Specifically the room with the twin bars was quite bad. The dishwasher is a Bosch, cleans well but took over 2 and a half hours to complete the cycle and we were not allowed to leave the house or go to bed with it running. The sign in kitchen says you must open it and turn it off after it runs do you don’t short out the house. That was really inconvenient when you’re on vacation and want to go somewhere but also come back to clean dishes so you can cook the next meal. Put the Kitchen Rules sign on the island. We didn’t see it until day 2! It was hiding behind the toaster. The front bedrooms on both need blackout curtains. The sun was crazy bright. More kitchen towels. We had only two for the whole 5 days. We asked twice for more never got them. The consThe person in the front downstairs bedroom said the neighbors were very noisy from 1am to 3 am nightly ##### Jacqueline F.

We loved all the beach themed decor around the unit. The kirchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook. Beds were very comfortable as well. Our only complaint is that it is on a hill and some of the older folks from our group had a tough time with that. ##### Katherine R.

As with most houses there, it is up a steep hill, but shuttles are available. The cleanliness is acceptable but could use some attention to detail. We would definitely stay again. ##### Cindy S.
