It was all about the view! We thought we would have to go to Europe to find a view like this - it truly is breathtaking! We had a wonderful time at the condo. Arrival and check-in information was clear and easy to follow. Amber was very responsive to my questions, even answering a late night question much earlier than I expected. The large electric golf cart was such a bonus, and a fun and easy way to get around the island - we took it to the grocery store, shopping, restaurants, the beach. Stopped at the Descanso Beach Club for a drink , meal, and to enjoy the water activities, and then followed the path into Avalon. Our dinner in Avalon right on the water was wonderful. I wish we had more time to spend on Catalina Island. We would definitely stay in Amber's condo again.
