This rental on Catalina Island is great and looks like the photos advertised! Helmut allowed us to check in early which was much appreciated and the communication was always prompt. The golf cart definitely made the experience better and it was great to have it to explore the island and go to town (15 minutes walking or a 5 minute golf cart drive). $20 is a bit expensive for the quick taxi ride from the dock to the place. You could walk if you have a light load and are up to it - it would probably take about 30 minutes. We were planning to lounge on the patio each afternoon but unfortunately it only gets the morning sun. We headed down to the pool deck then which was enjoyable as well. The place does have some rental wear and tear and is best suited for a couple (and one little one) but it would be tight for four. Overall, we loved the place and took in the fantastic view!
