Tropical Island Escape w/ Deck, Walk to Avalon Bay

Reviews

• Had a great stay!

  5/5

  As usual, some of the complaints that I read about this unit were a bit harsh. A few implied that it was quite overdue for upgrades, I think that it was just fine for the price point. I have seen these type of complaints before and really wonder if some of these people are expecting the quality of the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills (or the like,) at nightly prices that are actually reasonable.

  It was a bit of work carrying our scuba gear up and down the stairs every day, but quite worth it to be able to place wetsuits and such on the private balcony to dry without worry of it being easily stolen.

  Vons grocery store is just a few steps away from this rental unit and is quite well stocked, even for my vegetarian wife.

  I will definitely stay here again and recommend it. It is small, but if all you need is one bedroom and a futon couch/bed in the living room then its fine.

  One thing that would have made our stay much easier (that I would gladly pay extra for,) is a golf cart to get around the island with. You cannot rent them on the island for longer than a half-day, and they are basically only meant for tours.

  Btw, download the app "Ride Circuit," as it is the best/cheapest way to get around the island. It's only $2 per person and you can take a couple suitcases, or scuba gear, as long as it can fit in the small black, open cargo box in the back of the electric cart. It held our large husky tool box that I believe measures about 37"x23"x23" (consequently, that's the max size package that you can bring on the Catalina Express.)

  Sorry 4 length, but hope this helps!

  Older unit that suited our needs but could benefit from minor repairs and care.

• A little dirty but great location

  4/5

  Overall the stay was okay. The walls have stains and dirt marks all over and there is a chair in the bedroom covered in stains which was not appealing. Something else I found unappealing was the cigarettes left out on the patio and an old hotdog we found left on one of the grills. The furniture in the living room is very uncomfortable but there are smart TVs to watch in both rooms and the WiFi works well. The kitchen is very well stocked in my opinion and the bathroom was clean. The location is excellent!
