Beautiful! Highly Recommend.

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!

Perfectly Gorgeous

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.

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!

Slice of Heaven

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.

Needs a Facelift

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.

Amazing views

When we arrived the door was not locked but the key was in the lock box. The bedroom window was open. We quickly learned the golf cart key was missing and so was the golf cart. Tried to call manager but cell service was very poor. My husband went to the guard shack and had service to call but could not reach anyone. I was able to send emails so I emailed the manager. We called a taxi to dive us around near the ferry to see if the last tenants left it in a rush for the ferry. The guard told us it was a orange cart, so as we were leaving the complex we located a orange cart on its way to complex and we stopped and found out it belonged to our unit. Apparently it was taken for service but no notice was left. The unit was not clean. There were clean sheets on the bed and clean towels. We used the extra sofa bed sheets to keep on sofa our untire stay as it was pretty gross and the coushions would not stay out on sofa. We have stayed in a different unit in the past and it was much cleaner and updated. This is a rental and it is treated as a rental by the owners. It is a shame with a little money and effort. The space could be spectacular as the views are amazing.

Beautiful Condo, Magnificent View, Maintenance Needed, Stairs!

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was peaceful and had an incredible view. It is just a short golf cart drive from town. The condo and balcony were very pleasant and clean. The condo we stayed in required climbing many stairs. There is some maintenance needed in the apartment. It was wonderful to have the golf cart, but it is in desperate need of maintenance. The intense smell of exhaust from the golf cart made me worry for our health.
