Did we have a wonderful time in Catalina and enjoy our stay? Yes! Would I stay at this property again? Absolutely not. There was no property manager to get a hold of and I had to reach out to get all the check-in information. I received a little communication from the Host. Broken air conditioner and cramped living quarters. I don’t know who built this house, but I think they might have been a little blind because so many things were off. Stained sheets and blankets available For bedding… Tried to not think about it. No comfort for anyone over the average human size. Luckily nobody in our party was plus size but if they were, they would not have been able to use any of the bathrooms. Impossible to sit on both toilets due to cramped walls. And the house is literally on a slant… Things were rolling all over the place. Great location, next to the grocery store was awesome. Adorable neighborhood and very quiet. Misleading on quality of home and availability of rooms… But it did the job. For the money we spent, I am not overly thrilled about what we got but oh well. We had a wonderful time in Catalina and would not stay here again.

The location was neat and Catalina was hands down amazing! The property we rented wasn’t up to par as far as cleanliness. We found hair on one of the toilet seats and some on the bathroom floors. It took 2 days for the owner to respond regarding an early check in. She was kind and let us put our things inside the gate until our check in time. The air conditioner started leaking right after we turned it on right when we arrived. Water got on the floor- we cleaned it up and notified the owner right away. We weren’t able to use the A/C the entire stay. Luckily it wasn’t too hot. There were perishables left behind in the fridge. The back bedroom with the two beds had like a room closed off with a curtain. (Weird) It had some old furniture in there like a storage. Doesn’t seem like the property was kept up continuously, it wasn’t very clean.

Great location, comfortable beds. Unfortunately property manager does not check VRBO messages or Evolve messages. Emailed Evolve with no response and messaged on VRBO with no response.

Great location, not far from everything. Grocery store at the corner. Loved the ability to hang all our wet stuff outside on the clothes line! Had everything we needed and great space for the 5 of us girls. Thanks!
