The Ocean‑View Welcome Haven of Avalon’s Delightful History
If you’re heading to Catalina, do yourself a favor and stay at 117 Maiden Ln. This place has more beds than a mattress store. I swear, every time I opened a door, another bed appeared like it was spawning in a video game. Nobody in your group will fight over sleeping arrangements — everyone gets their own kingdom.
The location is unbeatable. You’re so close to the main strip that you can practically smell the waffle cones before you even step outside. Shops, restaurants, bars, the beach — all just a quick stroll away. It’s the perfect home base for exploring Avalon without ever needing to break a sweat.
And the ocean view? Unreal. You open the window and suddenly you’re in a postcard. Morning coffee becomes a spiritual event. Evening sunsets look like they were painted by someone who really wanted to show off.
But the best part might be the speakeasy-style bar tucked inside the house. It feels like you’ve discovered a secret hideout. Mix a drink, dim the lights, and suddenly you’re living your best 1920s Avalon fantasy — minus prohibition and plus way better furniture.
Bottom line: 117 Maiden Ln is fun, comfortable, perfectly located, and full of character. If Catalina gave out awards for vacation rentals, this place would win by a landslide.
