Catalina Island Seacrest Inn: 11 Themed Rooms, Rooftop BBQ Deck, and Ocean Views
Accommodations
The hotel has 11 themed rooms, including the Mermaid Room, Seashell Room, and Captain's Quarters. Select rooms add private spa tubs, kitchenettes, or soaking tubs. Décor in each room draws on Catalina history and local art, with details such as stained-glass windows and hand-painted tiles.
Rooftop Deck & Outdoor Spaces
The rooftop deck has ocean views over Avalon and includes a BBQ area, outdoor furniture, and a sun terrace. Guests can grill meals, eat at rooftop tables, or watch the harbor from the sundeck. The rooftop and terrace areas close at 10 p.m. to respect nearby rooms.
Location & Attractions
Seacrest Inn sits steps from Avalon Beach and a short walk from Lovers Cove and Hamilton Beach. Avalon's main shopping and dining areas, including The Lobster Trap, are one block away. The ferry terminal and Pleasure Pier are within five minutes on foot, and Vons grocery store is two blocks from the hotel.
Guest Services
Staff provide personalized recommendations for island restaurants and activities, and they offer complimentary luggage storage before check-in and after checkout. The front desk has beach towels, filtered water, and early check-in when rooms are ready. Before arrival, the hotel contacts guests by email or text to coordinate ferry times and room availability.
Historic Features
The hotel is set in a 110-year-old building converted into guest rooms, retaining its historic feel. Common areas display local art, including a textured oil painting of an ocean scene with California's state fish, the garibaldi. The hotel also rents the adjacent Sandcastle House, a 1920s cottage with two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a porch.
