This bright blue cottage is close to everything. It’s ideal for travelers who want to be in middle of the busy shopping area and don’t plan to spend a lot of time in the cottage. Benefits: You can walk everywhere in Avalon from this cottage. It has a new washer and dryer, gas stove, large clean shower stall, and big dining table. Drawbacks: The cottage is extremely close to the sidewalk and neighbors, so we heard noise all day and night. Since we are noise-sensitive, we had to sleep with windows closed, which made the cottage hot (no AC). People will look in as they go by on the busy sidewalk, so we kept all the curtains closed a lot, which made the cottage seem dark. Since there is no porch or yard, we would eat in the curtain darkened room, which was a little depressing. Last thing, the king bed is more like a futon and not very comfortable. Now, back to the positives! This is a good place for people who aren’t noise sensitive and want to be outside in Catalina most of the time.
