- "Great little house. Close to everything. Enjoyed our stay." - "Cute small cottage, everything we were looking for. The small kitchen and bathroom let you do everything youd expect. If you have hopes for something other than a cottage youll be disappointed, but ill be booking with these folks, over the hotels weve used here over the years, from here on out." - "This was our second year at the cottage. And again we had a great time. It’s a great location, close to town and the beach. The grocery store is a half block away."

Incredible 3 bedroom 2 bathroom Catalina Cottage 2 1/2 blocks from the beach, walking distance to everything! All the comforts of home! The kitchen has everything you need to entertain guests. Each bedroom has a TV with netflix, clothes dresser and queen size beds. Internet access, central heating, hall A/C unit, ceiling fans and fans in every room, bed linens, towels, beach chairs and more. The home has a wonderful island beach house charm and is light and bright. Extensive use of tile throughout and island decor make this home a special place!
- "This lovely home in a nice neighborhood came with lots of little extra touches; all the basics and more stocked in the kitchen, USB & USBC cables and USB ports in some outlets, non-slip shower mats, beach chairs and inflatable floats which we were encouraged to use, and A/C, which is rare in Catalina cottages. The cottage was clean, bright and airy, with two very comfortable seating areas. This is obviously someone's cherished home and we're glad they allowed us to stay. We'll definitely look here first for future stays."
