We came to stay at the Trout House for a milestone birthday celebration on the Island. I picked the house because of the outside deck and view. We really enjoyed the house, the history, and our time on Catalina.

Property description needs to accurately note there are two half bathrooms, not two full bathrooms one bathroom enclosure has a toilet, the other has the shower so in effect there is really one bathroom but it is divided by a wall. Few small items like no Kleenex anywhere, plate of half eaten food was left on the kitchen counter, a large hairball was on the carpet, and no curtains on Windows and second bedroom so that late sleeping is nearly impossible. Otherwise unit was relatively clean and neat. The patio balcony in front is the nicest feature and makes it very comfortable.

My family and I had a great stay at Trout House! Perfect location, close enough to everything but far enough away for a quiet stay. Beds were comfy, used the very functional kitchen. The place is rustic but everything works well, awesome water pressure and love the history of the house. Great deck for relaxing after a day of exploring. We would definitely stay again!

My sisters and I enjoyed staying in the Trout House. It was full of history of the island. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. It was in a super safe area. The porch overlooking the Avalon Cove was wonderful!!! The only reason I rated it four stars was that it needs some updating which I spoke to the property manager about.

A great little place for our weekend getaway with 2 Adults and 2 teenagers. It's close to the main shopping and dining area and the Vons supermarket is also a short walk. It's an older house with character, a little cramped, but expected due to being built in the early 1900s! Overall, we had a fantastic stay.

Came back a year later to this charming historic home and much to our pleasure, nothing had changed. It is an exquisite historic gem, and if that’s your thing, this is your place. We will be back time and time again.

Lovely historic home with terrific local decorations and views. Easy walk down to beaches/shops/restaurants. Contacted property manager in advance and no difficulties with smoke smell mentioned by a prior guest. Only stayed for the weekend so did not make use of kitchen amenities but appreciated that it was well stocked for cooking. Learned from some locals that former owner was a Disney illustrator. Overall was great to stay in this unique spot!

This unit is a duplex not a single family stand alone home. The property manager lives onsite and smokes weed 24/7. The smoke smell permeates the vents and through the floor boards and through the open windows. The house has a constant stink of weed and incense. If any of this was disclosed I never would have rented it especially with my kids with me…. The pictures are accurate to a point. But overall the experience is one step above “glamping” and with the smells and smoke it was very unpleasant

This was the perfect place for my wife and our two daughters (all adults) to stay on Catalina. The location was within easy walking distance to most of the restaurants and shops in Avalon. We spent many an hour lounging on the deck at rooftop level with the rest of the neighboring houses enjoying the cool sea breeze and listening to the tolling of the clock bell on the Chimes Tower as the minutes lazily whiled away. We had a wonderful extended weekend, and this cottage was the perfect place for us to stay. A large "thank you" to the hosts for sharing their space and putting together a wonderful retreat setting.

My family and I stayed here for almost a week and had a great time. The house is a beautiful fully intact early 1900’s cottage- a real piece of Avalon history. We loved this, chose it because of this, and it was perfect for us. The porch is amazing and the location is ideal. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was functional and equipped. Recent reviews I think need to be mentioned here: yes, the rooms are small- it’s a 120 year old beach cottage. If you are expecting a modern house without any of the old home quirks and beauty, then rent one of the bland condos elsewhere- there’s plenty of them. This place is a well-preserved gem from Avalon’s history and I wouldn’t wish for it to change one bit. We’ll be back next time.

Grandma, mom and granddaughter got a few nights away for fall break from school. We had a great time walking around town, renting golf carts, eating way too much, and enjoying our view from the deck. Would definitely come back!

The house itself is ok. Tiny rooms and everything is old. The master bedroom is so small, the bed touches three of the walls. The other bed is so old and saggy we rolled to the middle constantly. The bathrooms are split to sink and shower and the other bathroom is sink and toilet. The shower head is about 4 feet up the tub so your bent over to shower. The tub also backs up with water constantly. There is zero air flow and only two small fans so be ready for some hot sleeping. The view is nice and the balcony is comfy. Both nights we had someone smoking pot outside, so the house stunk really bad. We had to close the windows to keep our two small children from breathing it. This made things even hotter in the house. We will not be staying at this house again.

The property was terribly dirty the kitchen, bathroom, and living room was disgusting. No one cleaned the house before our arrival and it was a big let down that the home had an unpleasant aroma. Definitely would not stay here again.

This place has got lots of character and is in the perfect location. The house had all the basic items you needed. The manager never responded to my text, wifi was spotty, and there seemed to be lots of car hair, but all and all this was good stay.

Our trip was mostly good and I want to start off by thanking the property manager who brought our Catalina express tickets down to the ticket booth because I had accidentally left them there at the house. I’m very grateful for her for doing that for us. A couple of problems that we had at the house : first the shower knob would not stay in position -when it was say at 12 o’clock it would automatically slip down towards the 9 o’clock position causing the water to become hotter. It was hard to regulate the temperature in the shower. Another disappointment was the lack of space to put our clothes -there were no shelves, dressers or clothing rods in the main bedroom. The second bedroom had a clothing rod but still no other place to put clothing. My husband suggested dividing the closet and putting a small rod on one side to hang clothing, and put shelves on the other side so that people are able to put their clothes somewhere. We had to live out of our suitcases which was a bit of an inconvenience. Another suggestion is to have a couple of small portable fans in the house -it was quite stuffy and humid and a couple of fans would help to keep it cool, especially at night -it was kind of hard to sleep . Lastly, we were not aware that there was going to be construction going on directly across the street. We literally had to practically shout at each other every day from 8 to 5 during the construction. At one point my husband and I thought that there was a helicopter hovering over the property, but it was the ground compactor machine that the men were using across the street. Luckily we were out on excursions for the greater part of the day, however we were there for periods of time to rest and it was impossible to rest or even hear ourselves when we tried to talk to each other. We most likely would have booked a house elsewhere had we known how noisy it was going to be. All in all we enjoyed the house and the location was very convenient for us we had everything that we needed there -it was nice to have a kitchen and the beach towels and the beach bag came in very handy. I think it’s only fair in the future if construction is going on that VRBO let people know so they have an opportunity to make a choice to stay where it may be a little quieter. These suggestions are also to help improve the quality of the stay for future clients, as the quality of our stay was dramatically impacted by the issues I listed above. Sincerely, Sherri Vitali
