About this property
357CL: Most Popular 5bd home in Avalon!
This 1,900-square-foot, two-story coastal home is well-suited for multi-generational groups or multiple families traveling together. Situated on a corner lot on upper Claressa, the property features plenty of windows that bring in a lot of natural light. The layout includes a great room that combines the living area and its fireplace with a dining space featuring a large family table, alongside a bar-height counter with stools facing the open kitchen. The home provides comfortable privacy with 5 bedrooms, including three equipped with California King beds and their own attached bathrooms. In 2026, all bedroom floors were updated with new tile. In total, there is 1 full bath and three 3/4 baths, and the central heating is easily managed via the dining room thermostat. For outdoor space, guests can use the private side patio right off the dining area or step onto the front upstairs master bedroom balcony to look out at the ocean. The property is located just three blocks from the beach and includes complimentary Wi-Fi. 357CL

It was best friends getting away and the home was a perfect bonding experience. The setup was exactly what we needed from the giant living room with large dining table and accessible kitchen. The host left plenty of amenities for us and made it a seamless process to enjoy a vacation
Great location, communicative management company. AC is disconnected. Cleanliness is mid. The shower and the oven were broken. Overall it was good, just fix the broken amenities and unlock the AC during the summer.
Everything about this house was fantastic!!!
Only one small critique was that the patio was dirty. This was something I noticed from past reviewers so I think it would have been corrected.
This property was perfect for a family get away. We love Catalina and were able to sleep 8 adults comfortably. Has big living area and built-in BBQ, which we used. Overall great spot for a larger group 8 to 10.
We stayed here with a group of 10 of parents kids and grandparents. The layout of the house was great with 3 master suite style bedrooms it made it easy for the parents and grandparents to split the rooms up and the bunk beds and twins were great for the kids. The kitchen and driving room are spacious with plenty of room for everyone.
The property is showing some wear and tear,, the gate for the patio is broken, one half of the outside gas grill as well as the outside refrigerator we’re broken etc. but overall the property was a great space for a big family vacation
The layout of the home was exceptional for our style vacation. Most of our time was spent in the main living area adjacent to the outdoor patio area, which combines well. Our only complaint would be that the patio area had not been cleaned from recent storms and the bar-b-que that we used twice was in poor condition. Part of our decision to stay at this property was the proximity of the outdoor and indoor space. We also like cooking together and found the kitchen well equipped but missing a few things that would support a large group. Overall stay was fantastic and look forward to another stay at this property.
2025 looked VERY different than 2024 in this home, sadly!
We brought our kids (6) and granddaughters (2) to Catalina again, as we did last summer. The house is very run down & dirty since last year; the floors, the carpets, the bedding is old (flat pillows are horrible) and mattress covers unclean! Sadly, we had no possibility to keep our windows & blinds open, letting the sun in, during the day because of the heavy construction happening all day long on Tremont, which is the street the back of the house sits on, the patio side. The loudness of the machinery frightened our 2.5 year young granddaughter. ;( We booked this vacation on Jan. 27, 2025. There was no mention of any construction happening in the window of time we booked: June 7-12th, 2025. Believe me, we would have not booked at this home, had it been told to us. In the months we paid for the trip, there was no mention of the work being done, streets torn up!I feel this is very misleading and dishonest to all who want to come to Catalina and relax, rest, find peace for our hard working kids! I am posting this so that other families can know that besides the construction, the home is rundown and not cared for .....before they book this home. BTW- I did attempt to talk with the management company, but they cut me off, saying a statement of construction happening was posted on the details of the house on the VRBO site today. I recommend for the balance of the construction time, they let everyone interested in a "family vacation" know in a very direct way. And, clean!

Disappointing Stay — Unclean, Noisy, and Poorly Managed
We stayed at this home over Mother’s Day weekend and were really excited to share Catalina with family. While the location is walkable and close to shops, our experience in the home itself left a lot to be desired.The home was not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival. An upstairs sink was clogged and unusable, the bathtub had mold and hair, and the toilet showed visible stains. It was disappointing to find these issues upon check-in, and it impacted our comfort during the stay. A metal shot glass was also found inside the garbage disposal, which we had to remove ourselves. The dishwasher was broken and while a repair was offered, it would have disrupted our short vacation.The house is located on a very busy street in Avalon, and we experienced near-constant golf cart and emergency vehicle traffic at night, which made it difficult to sleep. Streetlights shine directly through the windows, and there were no blackout curtains to help with noise or brightness.With a group of nine, we were also surprised at the limited basic supplies—only two extra rolls of toilet paper were provided, and there were no dish towels. These are small things that made a noticeable difference.We did contact the rental company and were issued a partial refund. While we appreciated the gesture, we expected a higher standard for the rate we paid. This property has potential, but it needs better cleaning protocols, maintenance checks, and guest comfort considerations to be worth recommending.
Our family has stayed here numerous times over the years. We’ve always been very happy with our stay, but we did notice a few things this time that needed updating.
The dishwasher doesn’t wash very well. I guess it never had done so very well, but this time it was enough to have to wash everything even after the dishes went thru the dishwasher.
The dryer stopped tumbling when we were there.
The downstairs 1/2 bath toilet would sing a siren-squealing sound after every flush. Luckily, it was only used during the day and nobody had to wake up to that in the middle of the night.
The grill lighter did not work, so we had to find matches and ultimately bought a grill lighter to light the grill, because it was very hard to light the grill with matches.
The worst of it all was the heater! The top floor would heat up, but not the downstairs. Seeing that all the upstairs vents to the rooms were already closed, we figured we’re not the only one who had this problem. So to heat up to downstairs, we had to set the thermostat up and open the bathroom windows in the upstairs bedroom to sleep in comfort. The fireplace downstairs helped, but not enough. We still had to have family bring a portable heater to the island to use for the downstairs bedroom.
There were no kitchen towels. We had to buy paper towels to use for the duration of our stay.
The good update was that hand soaps were provided & they’ve always provided plenty of dishes! Always great for multi-generation families!
10 of us were there and had plenty of room. We were able to sit together at the dining table and in the living room! Unfortunately they don't decorate for Christmas so we brought our own and made it look beautiful. We cooked our own breakfast each morning, dishes were good enough however the oven doesn't close all the way so I pushed the door in so it can reach the temperature needed. I think the fridge didn't close all the way either because the light was on after closing. Everything else was fine and we would go again.
