We have stayed at The Edgewater several times and always enjoy it's location and Island charm. Love coming down the stairs and being right on the main street with shops, restaurants, the pier and beach right there. The rooms are clean and modern, with very comfortable beds, but the small hotel retains a vintage and Island vibe. Try to book... More

Best kept secret or so I thought! According to the reviews The Edgewater and been discovered over and over again. If 5 Star service, location, charm and romance are what your're looking for, The Edgewater won't disappoint! Dozens of moored boats, relaxing ocean breezes and beautiful sunsets are what you experience sitting behind the picture windows of the oceanview rooms.Though... More

We chose the Edgewater based on TripAdvisor ratings giving the hotel a 6 out of 18 rating. Are you kidding!! This hotel was not worthy of its 6 rating!! Perhaps a 15 out of 18 would have been more appropriate!! First of all, I knew there were potential problems when the person who took my reservations (turns out she was... More

Great vintage property with updated amenities. Hotel has unique old world feel, but rooms all brand new fixtures...Enjoyed the cool white decor..Very clean, beds EXCELLENT. All rooms in Catalina are small, but this one didn't feel closed in. Floor to ceiling windows looked out onto a mini garden /fountain area that was super relaxing. Plus a nice little alcove w/...

Very clean and accommodating. Centrally located to restaurants and beaches. Love the mini kitchen for coffee and muffins. They have a great patio to just sit out on and have a glass of wine. Definitely would recommend. We are going back real soon!

The room was clean and beautifully decorated for Valentine's Day. It included a refrigerator, small sink and counter top.

Not only is this one of the very few hotels that would allow you to stay just one night. They also allow for a very early check-in and if they aren't able to accomodate, they will hold your bags until check-in time so that you can explore the island. The hotel is extremely clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend!
