Outstanding water view from deck, living room and bedroom. Light, bright, roomy and airy space outfitted with everything you need for a short or extended stay. The golf cart was an added (needed) bonus. Super comfy bed!Loved the kitchen opening up to the living space and the ocean view! Washer and dryer just outside the front door was especially appreciated and handy. The entire community is just breathtaking and magical. We have family on the island and look forward to staying here again!
The stay was excellent!! Kitchen had everything that was needed, thebed was super comfortable!! Very clean and the Balcony was awesome in the morning. Golf cart was super useful, But the fumes back were a little heavy at times. Thanyou for a great stay!!!
The view is incredible and the location is perfect. It’s just far enough away from town to have quiet but close enough for any and all quick trips. Kitchen was perfect for easy meals to eat on the deck and it was clean and well kept. Can’t wait to come back.
Clean rooms big balcony and a golf cart included was the best money can buy. Great deal on this place I loved it. Stayed here just my girlfriend and I as a graduation present. Really safe and relaxing.
An absolute perfect stay for small families - will stay here again!
From the incredible and consistent communication to the accuracy of the listing, my family and I loved staying at this location. We had only a small snafuu with the golf cart upon our first night there but the communication with the host and their prompt response was so appreciated and top notch service. The place was clean and well furnished, the location was unbeatable, the views were unreal, and the value for the place that we got was incredible. We will definitely be making this trip an annual thing and we will be staying here again!
Not sure if this property was in the middle of a facelift but one was sure needed. There was stuff being stored in the balcony that was unsightly and in the way, the kitchen range hood was missing, the coffee mugs all were stained…some TLC would do this place good.
Great location, tons of stairs as advertised. The community pool was just a short walk away and heated. The provided golf cart was easy to locate and fun to use.
The island has so much to offer.
We enjoyed beautiful sunrises and a variety of activities on Catilina Island. The golf cart that comes with this rental especially helped us get around town and up into the hills to see additional views. During our three day stay, we spent time exploring the town of Avalon. We recommend the history museum and going to the casino and watching a movie there. There are great restaurants, and the condo was well equipped for cooking. Going on a submarine we saw a nice variety of fish in the reserve. We hiked the Hermit Gulch Trail. Great views and we saw one fox. We also took a tour which took us up and back along the ridge where we saw bison. This was our first time on the island. We were there to celebrate my 70th birthday. It was a great choice!
If you're planning a trip to Catalina, highly recommend staying at Hamilton Cove which is where this condo is located. It's a private community with tennis courts, a pool, hot tub, a golf cart, gym, and a small beach. My family and I absolutely loved our stay and plan on visiting again next year! The view from the balcony is gorgeous and the weather was perfect. There was a slight hiccup as the guard didn't have our trip information denying us entrance to the community. Thankfully, the property manager was able to take care of the issue promptly. The unit itself provides you with everything you need, however, I would recommend the property manager supply 1-2 more pillows and blankets for the sofa bed. I would also like to note the amount of stairs you have to take to access the unit. If stairs aren't a problem for you then you'll be just fine! My dad was on crutches due to knee surgery a month prior and navigated the steps delicately but it was slightly uncomfortable. Personally, the view makes the stairs worth it! Catalina Island is truly a slice of heaven.
