Calling all Catalina Channel swimmers! This place is the perfect place to stay before, during, and after your swim! Tobe is very good at communicating and Anthony is the best at providing any help you might need during your stay. The house is a walk away to Cabrillo Beach where you will want to swim and get yourself acclimated for your channel crossing. The marina, where you will meet your escort boat, is 1.5 miles away. The Lighthouse Restaurant (and Pacific Diner-It was closed for 2 weeks for vacation, so we did not go, but heard it had a really good breakfast) are also a walk away and offer great food and service. Point Fermin Market is right in between these 2 restaurants and carries most everything you could need. A couple of walkable parks with beautiful views are also nearby. The house itself is homey and well stocked. There is also a place to sign once you finish swimming the channel (see surf board attached to ceiling). Internet was not the strongest; however, this place is the IT place for anyone scheduled to swim Catalina Channel!
