123 Upper Terrace Lower - Avalon Home What a fabulous location!
You will see spectacular views of the harbor, ocean, and town from this beautiful multi-level house built on the hillside of Avalon. The lower half is two stories with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Is a great vacation spot for families and those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of town. There are only 21-25 steps down the side of the house to the entryway, which would lead you to the top floor, right into the living/dining room area. Access a large private balcony through sliding glass doors, where you can sit and eat while you admire the scenery. The kitchen is fully stocked with essential appliances and plenty of counter space. Continue through the top floor to enter the master bedroom and master bath. Stow all of your belongings in the very spacious closet, and enjoy a comfortable night's sleep on the large king bed.
We had five visitors. The property requires either taxi or the golf cart (which barely handles 4 going up the hill to the property). The view was the best part--spectacular. The condition of the property was poor compared to the price paid. Sliding door was falling apart. One lounge chair was essentially broken. Only four table chairs at the dining table. Stairs are at best tricky to navigate for two of our party over 75 years old. In general, we will not every use VRBO on any return trip to the island as the photos were not representative of the property. We felt the cost was extremely high for the quality of lodging.
The host was friendly and check in was easy. A breaker blew during our stay, and the host took care of it quickly with good communication. The VIEW is phenomenal and the unit was clean, comfortable and easy to relax in. We could hear the upstairs occupants talking and walking, but fortunately they were on the same sleep/wake schedule so it wasn't an issue. The king bed in the main room was hilariously squeaky. Maybe some WD-40 could help.Thankfully we had the golf cart because hiking up and down the road would have been challenging. It's about 15-20 minutes into town. That being said, Wild Bill's was a trusty little cart. Instructions on how to fill the tank and best fuel to use would have been helpful. Overall a great stay and our group enjoyed it very much.
The quintessential Catalina view from every room made the trip. The huge deck was just as the pictures show. Having a 4 passenger rain proofed golf cart was fabulous for easy trips down the hill. The place had all the basics. It was not modern or new which made it reasonable for a family of 6 to experience the location. The sheets smelled clean, we had plenty of toilet paper and we didnât encounter any bugs over new years week. Note: If youâre bougie this isnât the place for you. Summary: Basic accommodations with sensational views and convenient golf cart.
