Catalina Island Vacation Rentals Celebrates 10 Year Anniversary

Oct. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Catalina Island Vacation Rentals is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a new look. The company, which represents Avalon’s most popular vacation rentals, recently introduced a contemporary logo and a user-friendly website: http://www.CatalinaVacations.com  

“We are excited about the company’s new image,” CIVR President Kevin Strege said. “We’re also very proud of the hard work and emphasis on serving our customers that have been the foundation of our success over the last decade.”

Catalina Island Vacation Rentals represents nearly 200 private homes available for rental on Catalina Island, one of Southern California’s top vacation destinations. Those homes include ocean-view villas, quaint beach cottages and well-appointed condominiums.

An increasing number of travelers are embracing the convenience and cost-effectiveness of renting a private home while on vacation. “A vacation rental offers so much more than a hotel room,” Strege said. “It’s an ideal option for families, couples or a group of friends.”

Catalina Island Vacation Rentals was founded by a group of entrepreneurs who saw the need for a Catalina vacation rental company that focused on excellent customer service and solid business principles.

“Our company’s success represents a dedication to innovation and customer service,” Strege said. “Our new logo reflects that dedication as well as the traditions that have made Catalina Island a destination for more than 100 years.”  

CIVR’s logo features Avalon’s iconic Casino Ballroom and a pair of sailboats on a stylized ocean. A sleek font forms the initials of the company in two different colors, emphasizing both the company’s location and its purpose.

The new logo appears prominently on the new user-friendly website, which makes vacation planning easy with a convenient email to a friend option as well as online booking, reviews and the ability to bookmark favorite properties.

“We’re very pleased with our new website,” Strege said. “Our guests will find it easy to use both for trip planning and booking.”

In the 10 years it has been serving Catalina Island’s guests and property owners, CIVR has become an integral part of the Catalina Island community. Its philosophy of giving back has earned it the respect of visitors, homeowners and residents alike.

The company frequently sponsors local events. The Catalina Island Museum’s current Before She Was Marilyn exhibit and the Inaugural Stand Up Paddle Festival recently received support from the company.

In addition to supporting the event, Catalina Island Vacation Rentals also provided the accommodations portion for the Facebook SUP Festival sweepstakes, which was won by Mike Kanaly of Long Beach.

Catalina Island Vacation Rentals is located in Avalon on Catalina Island. Reservations may be made by calling (800) 631-5280. Also, visit the CIVR Facebook page at http://www.Facebook.com/4CIVR
