It was best friends getting away and the home was a perfect bonding experience. The setup was exactly what we needed from the giant living room with large dining table and accessible kitchen. The host left plenty of amenities for us and made it a seamless process to enjoy a vacation
Our family has stayed here numerous times over the years. We’ve always been very happy with our stay, but we did notice a few things this time that needed updating.
The dishwasher doesn’t wash very well. I guess it never had done so very well, but this time it was enough to have to wash everything even after the dishes went thru the dishwasher.
The dryer stopped tumbling when we were there.
The downstairs 1/2 bath toilet would sing a siren-squealing sound after every flush. Luckily, it was only used during the day and nobody had to wake up to that in the middle of the night.
The grill lighter did not work, so we had to find matches and ultimately bought a grill lighter to light the grill, because it was very hard to light the grill with matches.
The worst of it all was the heater! The top floor would heat up, but not the downstairs. Seeing that all the upstairs vents to the rooms were already closed, we figured we’re not the only one who had this problem. So to heat up to downstairs, we had to set the thermostat up and open the bathroom windows in the upstairs bedroom to sleep in comfort. The fireplace downstairs helped, but not enough. We still had to have family bring a portable heater to the island to use for the downstairs bedroom.
There were no kitchen towels. We had to buy paper towels to use for the duration of our stay.
The good update was that hand soaps were provided & they’ve always provided plenty of dishes! Always great for multi-generation families!
Everything about this house was fantastic!!!
Only one small critique was that the patio was dirty. This was something I noticed from past reviewers so I think it would have been corrected.
This property was perfect for a family get away. We love Catalina and were able to sleep 8 adults comfortably. Has big living area and built-in BBQ, which we used. Overall great spot for a larger group 8 to 10.
We stayed here with a group of 10 of parents kids and grandparents. The layout of the house was great with 3 master suite style bedrooms it made it easy for the parents and grandparents to split the rooms up and the bunk beds and twins were great for the kids. The kitchen and driving room are spacious with plenty of room for everyone.
The property is showing some wear and tear,, the gate for the patio is broken, one half of the outside gas grill as well as the outside refrigerator we’re broken etc. but overall the property was a great space for a big family vacation
The layout of the home was exceptional for our style vacation. Most of our time was spent in the main living area adjacent to the outdoor patio area, which combines well. Our only complaint would be that the patio area had not been cleaned from recent storms and the bar-b-que that we used twice was in poor condition. Part of our decision to stay at this property was the proximity of the outdoor and indoor space. We also like cooking together and found the kitchen well equipped but missing a few things that would support a large group. Overall stay was fantastic and look forward to another stay at this property.
10 of us were there and had plenty of room. We were able to sit together at the dining table and in the living room! Unfortunately they don't decorate for Christmas so we brought our own and made it look beautiful. We cooked our own breakfast each morning, dishes were good enough however the oven doesn't close all the way so I pushed the door in so it can reach the temperature needed. I think the fridge didn't close all the way either because the light was on after closing. Everything else was fine and we would go again.
The house was big, rooms and bathrooms were perfect for our large group and everyone was comfortable! Some things we weren’t happy with was the patio was very dirty and did not look like it had been cleaned in a long time, there was even old dog poop under a chair. We were told box fans had been placed in every bedroom closet which was not the case. The 2 box fans provided were filthy and had dust caked onto them and another fan provided did not work. Communication was great up until I let the management property know about the status of the fans and asked for more and or new fans….never heard back! The house is on a very busy corner so it was loud at times, we even had people run by and bang on the windows a couple of times. The extra fans in the rooms would probably have helped drowned out the noise. The kitchen was nicely stocked with any utensils and dishes we needed.
This property is cute, spacious (we had 8 ppl very comfortably), away from the craziness of the boardwalk but close enough to walk. There is quite a bit of car and walking traffic here being on the corner of two busier streets. Plenty of space for cooking, lounging, and communing for meals. Our main complaint is that the house wasn’t cleaned very well - crumbs and mildew in the kitchen and bathrooms. The house could use a deep clean.

Great sleeping setup for a large group (10). House was fine. Linnen was missing (kitchen towels) an
We had a wonderful time staying at 357 Clarissa. The home was clean and check-in/check-out was very easy. The large kitchen, dining area, and living room were great for gathering with our larger group. We enjoyed walking from the house to the Botanical Gardens and the quick walk to downtown and all the other attractions of Avalon.
Enjoyed the property and would return. Carpets need to be cleaned. I was told that 3 of the 5 bedrooms were on the ground level floor. Turned out that only 1 was down and 4 was up.
The house was clean, very nice and spacious enough room for all of us to be together, and is a nice walking distance to almost everything. Can’t wait to return!
