It's the Seacrest for us. Wow what a stay! Denise and John made our stay so enjoyable. The room had a hot tub and was awesome. If it wasn't the hot tub it was the early morning mimosa on the roof of the hotel overlooking the harbor and cruise ship. The golf cart tour was great too. It was afternoons... More

Me and my new husband stayed here for our honeymoon and it was amazing. The room was great and Denise was a total sweetheart. We bought their package with a limo, helicopter ride, dinner, all day tour, and a dolphin trip. It made our honeymoon extremely memorable. We can't wait until we go back. We will be staying there every... More

I was hired to do a construction remodel at the Marlin Club which of course took some time!Lol! I was lucky enough to get the chance to stay at the Seacrest Inn while working there. What a wonderful experience. Having to be away from home and family is not ideal but staying at Seacrest was like home. Denise and John... More

When we first arrived we weren't too happy about some things. But as we stayed and walked the island. We came to like the fact that it was close to the shops, piers and restaurants. We were surprised that the fireplace wasn't real like our wood burner at home, big deal. Then we were surprised that we had no hot... More

I booked this Inn for Valentines weekend at the very last minute. Other hotels did not have any availability, so I was very happy to find a room. However, reading the reviews made me very concerned and I was very scared to see the room and bring my fiance there. I usually never write reviews, but in this case I... More

Did anyone else notice that 95% of the good reviews all mention Roger by name, are all written in the same style, and are all written by people that wrote only one review? This place is terrible. They don't clean very well, the rooms are falling apart, the towels have holes in them, it's noisey, and the breakfast is terrible.... More

My husband & I stayed at the Seacrest Inn this last weekend. We had the palm room with the private entrance and it was very romantic and secluded. We had a jacuzzi-tub with shower in our room. Since our room was the farthest from the heaters and this is a 100 year old house it did take a minute for... More

My girlfriend and I booked last minute, and this was one of the only hotels available. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised when they upgraded us to the Loft Suite because of a double booking. The room was very nice, and right next to the rooftop entrance, which had an amazing view of the island. We had an over-sized... More

I agree with another writer here that many of these ratings seem fake given how dirty, rundown, and abandoned this place was! This “Roger” owner was non-existent. I called and left a message because the front office was always closed and NEVER heard back. To start off with, the room was incredibly small, things falling apart, and felt dirty. The... More

We sail to Catalina and sometimes need a room to relieve overcrowding on the boat. I always find that the Seacrest Inn is a nice little place to stay in Avalon. Each quaint room has it's own personality. Nice outdoor area on roof with barbecues and views make this an enjoyable place to take a break from the sea. Roger... More
