House Or Rental

Catalina Island Vacation Rentals

If you prefer a house to a hotel or are staying with a party of 6 or more, we recommend Catalina Vacation Rentals. For convenience and walkability, consider staying in downtown Avalon, as many rentals are located up steep and windy hills. Some properties include golf carts, so be sure to check for this option if you are interested.
