My boyfriend and I stayed at The Edgewater in February 2010 for valentine's day weekend. I thought it would be crowded, but it wasn't at all. Upon arriving, the owner was very nice and greeted us kindly. She showed us to our room and explained to the different types of amenities and how to enter the building after hours. It's... More

Beautiful beachfront rooms within walking distance from everything. Pier, beach, restaurants and stores right down a flight of stairs. Stayed overnight in the spacious Ocean View Suite #1 and the view from the inside sitting porch can't be beat! My toddler had so much fun running around the well-maintained room and reaching for the thoughtful Easter candy strategically placed all over... More

It all started with the Catalina flyer out of Newport Beach, ca. (great group of professionals), The Edgewater Hotel had reserved our charter reservations. Welcomed by owner of family owned establishment with arrival to Island, what a perfect hotel location. We felt so cozy-welcomed and situated in the heart of beautiful Catalina Island. We were amazed with the comforts of... More

The owner of Edgewater is very personable and "allowed' us to stay one night instead of two over the weekend. The heating system had no clear instructions on how to use it so we were a bit cold for the first two hours. We did call the emergencey number and when Esperanze came by, she didnt know how to use...

We are very sorry to hear that your stay was less than enjoyable at The Edgewater. As you can see from our many positive reviews, we have guests who thoroughly enjoy their stay with us.

It's like a boutique hotel or upgraded B&B. It's a small hotel, but the place is Clean, beds are VERY comfortable, can not beat the location, and best sleep I've had in ages. Maybe it was the slow pace of Avalon this weekend, but I did enjoy everything about this trip. They are one of the very few that don't... More

My girlfriend and I celebrated our one year anniversary with a weekend trip to Catalina. The Edgewater Hotel was one of the very few places that allowed us to stay for one night (the majority of hotels on the island require a two night minimum stay). Not only was the room beautiful it had an amazing view of the ocean... More

The proprietor Barbara was not only attentive to all of our needs but was very caring and friendly. Barbara, if you are reading this, "Thank You" from both Michelle and I. We will come... More

We stayed at the Edgewater for a weekend getaway to Catalina and had a wonderful time. The location of the hotel is perfect, right on the beach and in the middle of the Catalina boardwalk area. Everything that there is to do on Catalina was right outside our door. Additionally, our room was fantastic. It was spacious, had a great... More
