This place worked for us overall and the views are as stunning as they appear in the pics.
Unfortunately, we found the king size bed to be extremely uncomfortable. After lying down, the head of the bed sinks so you become unlevel in the bed. There are plenty of pillows so we tried propping up but still sank. We rotated our heads to the foot of the bed, which is firmer, but still did not sleep good.
The place was clean enough, but if the floors could get a good steam cleaning it will make a big difference. The couches could use a good cleaning as well.
If you're not willing to send pictures of your ID and credit card over text message to the property management company, you have to go in person to the office to check in. If you need info about things to do on the island, grab it while checking in because there is no info about anything at the rental, except how to use the bedroom TV.
The trek from town to the villa is not walkable for the average person and we did not see anyone walk it, but we did see some bikers going back and forth.
The rental comes with the use of a golf cart, which proved to be a key part of our stay. It allowed us to easily do whatever we wanted for day without taxi fares.
FYI, cruise ships come in during the week. We didn't know and it changed up our 'during the week' vacation quite a bit.
We would stay in this rental again if they get a new bed. Catalina is lovely.
