Situated in Avalon in the California region, Catalina Courtyard Suites features accommodation with access to a hot tub. The property has garden and inner courtyard views, and is 800 metres from Descanso Beach. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. It's probably the closest hotel to the dive site. Maybe five minutes walk. Perfect location, close to the town. Would stay again. Also very comfy beds

I had never met a more gracious host. First we missed the last ferry by 2 minutes. I contacted Brent and explained our situation. He had a solution in minutes I won't go into more details , but if you get a chance to use there properties, it is highly recommended. Plus a unexpected bonus when we did arrive to the island the next day. The golf cart was waiting for us at the dock. David and Zdenka Pendleton

Set in Avalon, less than 1 km from Descanso Beach, Catalina Two Bedroom View Home offers air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. This holiday home features accommodation with a patio. The location was great. The master bedroom was awesome - the jacuzzi tub has a great view and was great way to spend the morning. We chose this space so that we could celebrate a birthday in a house instead of two hotel rooms. It was a great choice. Good glassware, filtered water, coffee maker. Very comfy spot. Walking distance to restaurants, clubs and karaoke.
