Testimonials
Our rental at 357 Clarissa was a perfect home for our celebration of my 90th birthday. The open area of the first floor and the patio area was very spacious and enjoyable. I hope to return for my 100th birthday.

After many years of visiting Catalina Island and staying in hotels we found CIVR. The staff was real helpful and informative, even when checking out they made it easy and convenient for my family and I.

Mary – July 1, 2014
This was an amazing vacation, we had a great time. The place was beautiful and was beyond all my expectations. In fact, we will be coming back again and I will book through you. I appreciate all the help from the first stage with Chay to the office check in and even meeting the cleaning lady (Gloria) and the check out so simple the taxi took the keys. Way to go!

My wife and I had a BLAST on our visit to Catalina. She still talks about it. I was going thru my email and cleaning up old ones and I could not find any from me to you about our accommodation, (AWESOME by the way). The only thing wrong was, we had to leave.

I recently stayed at one of your rental homes while I visited the island and wanted to reach out to thank you for such a great experience. The level of customer service was wonderful and your team was easy to contact via phone prior to my visit.

We rented The Parrot House from you for the week of Aug 21-28. I am extremely pleased with not only the condo, but also our business with CIVR. They made it so easy for me to rent a lovely condo for my family.
Jann P. – September 28, 2015
There were 10 of us that visited the island. After a couple of issues such as no towels or soap in the bathrooms we called the office and within 10 minutes we had everything we needed. The house was so welcoming lots of room for everyone. We plan to return next year and maybe get the same house. Check in was non eventful you gave them your name they gave you your keys and wished us a good time.Staff was always very helpful whenever I called. Thank you for making our trip GREAT.

We were married September 20 at Hamilton Cove and rented two condos — one for us and one for family. They were beautiful and the complex was just lovely. I only give 4 stars because one of the condos had a refrigerator which didn’t work very well but we were told that ahead of time and CIVR did provide a cooler. The staff at CIVR were great. All in all an absolutely wonderful stay and we will definitely come back next year for our anniversary!
Mary & Shaun – October 12, 2015
A lovely rental, a beautiful island, perfect weather, terrific tours, gorgeous scenery, and nice restaurants! The weekend was a special treat to this never before visited island. I would come again in a heartbeat!

CIVR was beyond terrific. They were always responsive to our needs and questions. What a great staff. The unit they reserved for us was spectacular with every amenity and comfort you could think of. We will definitely return, and not take as long as this trip.

I would like to thank C.I.V.R. You made my family’s vacation!
I took 8 family members and that was one of the funnest vacations we have had in years.
It was do to how easy you guys made it to rent a house on such a beautiful Island.
Also the house it self was perfect for our family. Plenty of room, close to everything, being able to cook our own meals, place for younger Grand kids to take naps. Really brought our family together.
I would recommend C.I.V.R. to all I know. And yes we are ready to go back!!!
