    A hidden gem on Catalina Island! Breakfast, wine and cheese night, and mimosa Saturdays are included in the experience! My husband and I felt safe and at home :)

    The breakfast was much better than expected. They even had complementary champagne! However, the afternoon complementary wine and cheese was even better.
