HAMCOVE BestBldg Best View/OCEANFRONT/ GOLFCART/ SMART TV A/C,25 yards to ocean!

There's a reason all locals tell everybody to stay at Exclusive Hamilton Cove Private Condo complex. This condo is in Building #8, #85. At 1,000sqft, (compare to 400 in hotel) and Way More sq footage than all other 1bdrm Ham Cove units, this villa is particularly spacious and easily accommodates 4 guests. The bedroom has a Super Comfy King bed with high thread count linens. The other guests sleep on a queen sofa sleeper with a thick foam mattress in the living room. This condo is Oceanfront with No Obstructions and you'll feel On Top of the Actual Beach you're so close(see pix). Leave windows or French doors open overnight to hear the waves lap the ocean.
The Kitchen has all amenities with a Combination Drip/Kuerig coffeemaker, Large Refrigerator, range/oven, New Non-stick pots and pans, pantry. Everything to feel at home and cook if you want. The BBQ on the balcony is huge and has 2 Propane tanks to ensure you don't run out. We've tried to think of everything!
There's a separate bathtub(for kids or if that's your thing) and a separate shower-whatever your needs. With ALL the amenities and security plus private use of a golfcart,private beach and a kitchen, not only can you save from going out, but you can RELAX and stay in! If you do the math and eat just a few meals in, you pay less here than at hotels. The golfcart alone costs $60 an hour in town! And you'll have it to use exclusively throughout your stay.
Wake up to serenity, brew coffee(or whatever), eat a lil something lounging on the balcony without having to leave(like a hotel). Drive 10 minutes into Avalon, or Stay here at the private beach, pool, jacuzzi that make Hamilton Cove so Magical. Play tennis,mini golf,croquet,workout,swim, take a jacuzzi,snorkel or drive 5 minutes to super-classy Descanso Beach for kayaking, Stand-Up paddleboard, a massage..or..go to the restaurant/bar for outdoor live music(seasonal) and drinks on the beach!!!
See, this vacation is truly what you make of it.From TOTAL relaxation to Full On Hikes,biking, and ALL watersports! Catalina( and Hamilton Cove especially) is so close, but feels miles from home.
With your Host managing things, you'll not only have my personal cell, you'll also have my assistant's. Things happen and we are accessible to you. In fact, you are able to go straight to the villa(checkin time or earlier) without filling out oodles of paperwork in town first(like the management companies). And, we are flexible, when able, to allow for early checkin or late checkout( unlike them)
Caution renting from Management companies. While we've kept our Rates reasonable, these companies' condo rates have Skyrocketed! And if they seem reasonable, watch out for Exorbitant HOST FEES. We charge what our maids get paid. Also, if there's a problem, you better hope it's during business hours, I got no returned call when I had an emergency over the weekend and was blamed for their cart's problem(on Monday)
As hosts, We truly appreciate your booking and want you to have An Excellent Adventure!!! We do what it takes for that to happen.
Also, if this one is booked, please check VRBO #707030, in Building #2, just above Building #7 also with a 180 degree ocean view.

Enjoyed our stay
We stayed at HamCove on our recent trip to Avalon and had a great experience within Hamilton cove and exploring the island, It is conveniently located in a gated community with private access to the beach and various activities. We were not able to maximize our stay due to the rain, but got most of it on the days it was clear. Overall a great experience

Beautiful property with amazing views of the ocean. The property was very safe and super quiet for us. The unit had everything we needed. The golf cart was a big plus so that we easily had transportation to get around the island. It was fun putting around with it. Great comminication from our host and a lovely trip!

Thanksgiving at the Villa (Hamilton Cove) Catalina Island
We had the BEST time. Perfect weather, while coming from different ports all arrived within a half hour of each other and the villa was ready. All directions/suggestion were spot on. We loved waking and sleeping to the sounds of the ocean, getting up to the most beautiful view each day and night. Perfect distance with being able to see deer and the beautiful route to town. Great distance to do things and see things. The host was outstanding and the website was right on. We loved it!!

Fun getaway
We had a wonderful stay at Richard's property. Everything was ready when we got there and it looked clean and presentable. The location of the unit was perfect. For those that have trouble going up or down stairs, it may be a little difficult for you but it was great for us! Can't wait to go back and stay longer 💜

a workout
Great view but hard on the legs due to all the stairs. Unit was in the middle so parking at the bottom wasn't any better than the top area. I did mention to the owner that the bedroom linens were smelly from being left in the washer/dryer while still wet. This speaks to me about the cleaning service. We washed everything in the kitchen before using. A recent rain made patio furniture almost unusable due to soaked cushions. I probably would stay in town next time, same price, more convenient.

Would look for other options
I’ve never given a negative review but unfortunately I have to for this experience. We went to the island with two other families who also had rentals at Hamilton Cove. Hamilton Cove is amazing and we’ll be back, but our experience with this rental was very negative. First, the property was not very clean. There was sticky stuff all over the outside deck and the house and furnishings are very dated and didn’t feel cleaned up. There are wires everywhere for old school tv and sound systems. We paid significantly more than our other two friends and their rentals were so much nicer. On top of that, the weekend we booked to stay was when Hurricane Hilary hit Catalina and we were told by officials/the government through iPhone notifications and by the Catalina Express to leave early and ASAP. We had to cut our trip a day short and the owner would not provide any refund for this. We did not buy travel insurance (and the other two friends we went with did not buy travel insurance) but their rental owners provided the refund. This owner did not budge and penalized us for leaving when all news/government outlets told us it was unsafe to stay. We even called VRBO customer service to try and get the refund and they agreed it should be provided and have been reaching out to the owner on our behalf but the owner won’t call or discuss. Definitely would recommend looking for another property at Hamilton Cove and not staying here.
