Does this comply with Airbnb’s terms of service?

Yes. Airbnb’s policy explicitly permits “optional apps that facilitate a guest’s experience during the stay” — it names Sonos, Nest, and concierge apps as examples. CohostAI is exactly that: an optional guest-experience app guests open via a link or QR to get instant answers. It doesn’t require payment or property access, and it doesn’t auto-send in your Airbnb inbox — reply drafts wait for your review, so you stay in control of the conversations that matter.

What if my property is in a rural or small town?

We scan up to 10 surrounding zip codes to surface the best restaurants, trails, and gems within driving distance. Most rural hosts get 40+ quality recommendations.

Can I edit or customize what the AI picks?

Yes. Add your own favorites, write host tips, remove places you don’t love, and mark your top picks with a Host Pick badge. Your cohost only answers from what you’ve saved and confirmed.

Will my guests actually use it?

Every guide includes built-in analytics — you’ll see opens, clicks, and which places guests tap on. Most hosts see strong engagement in the first 24 hours after sharing.

Is there a free plan?

You can build, edit, and test CohostAI for free with no credit card. Publishing a guest link or using the live AI cohost requires one paid license per property at $9/month or $79/year; drafts stay saved either way.

What happens if I cancel?

Your cohost and guest guide stay live through the end of the period you’ve paid for. After that the guest link pauses — nothing is deleted, and everything comes back if you resubscribe.

Start from 29 curated places around Catalina Island, CA, then choose the recommendations that fit your guests.

Restaurants & cafés

The Lobster Trap
A lively, locals-favorite seafood spot a block off the water in Avalon, doing fresh fish, lobster and the island's own swordfish in a no-fuss, nautical room. Where Catalina actually eats.

Bluewater Avalon
A waterfront seafood restaurant right on the harbor with a deck over the water, doing oysters, fish and chowder with the bay in view. The polished harborside option.

Trails & outdoors

Garden to Sky Trail
A steady climb from the top of the Wrigley Botanic Garden up to a ridge on the Divide Road, with sweeping views over Avalon, the harbor and the channel. The best accessible viewpoint hike from town.

Hermit Gulch Trail
A steep canyon trail from Avalon up to the Divide Road and the island's interior, the most direct climb out of town into the backcountry. A real workout with big channel views.

Things to do

Avalon Theatre at the Casino
The Casino's grand 1929 art-deco movie theater, with a pipe organ, ocean murals and first-run films shown beneath a domed ceiling. Catching a movie here is a genuine occasion.

Catalina Island Museum
A well-designed museum in Avalon covering the island's history, from the indigenous Tongva to the Wrigley and steamship eras and its famous pottery and tile. The island's indoor cultural anchor.

Landmarks & sights

Crescent Avenue
Avalon's curving waterfront promenade, lined with pastel shops, cafes and the bay's bobbing boats, with the Casino at one end. The walkable heart of the island's only real town.

Catalina Casino
The circular 1929 art-deco landmark on the point — never a gambling hall, but a grand movie theater below a ballroom, wrapped in Catalina-tile murals. The island's defining building.
