Avalon is the perfect place to explore local shops, restaurants, and attractions, while the surrounding rugged wilderness offers hiking and nature walks, all under the stewardship of the Catalina Island Conservancy. Getting here is easy with ferry services from Newport Beach, Dana Point, Long Beach, or San Pedro.

First time to Catalina!

Celebrated a birthday - we were looking for a true getaway - and found it! This unit has the most amazing views and sounds. Everyone in our party recorded the gentle sounds of the ocean from our private balcony. It was super peaceful. The accommodations were ok. We did let the property management company know of some improvements that would’ve made our stay more comfortable And they seemed really responsive. Previous reviewers mentioned an issue with ants and we could see that they were making every effort to control that. Overall a lovely place, with really nice amenities. We enjoyed the putting green, the golf cart, the beach, and the gym (with a dry sauna!)

This condo in Hamilton Cove was perfect!

The condo was very clean, comfortable, quiet, and had all the amenities we desired. The view was beautiful. The golf cart made getting around so easy, although it was a nice walk to Decscanso Beach or town. We are already planning our next trip and will be staying here again!

Amazing Island Get Away!

This was a beautiful property right on the ocean's edge on Catalina. The view from the deck was AMAZING. We spent long mornings and evenings out there watching seals and dolphins swim by. We also enjoyed the various boats coming and going, especially the fancy yachts!! It was great to have the golf cart to explore town and make it so easy to get around!! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking breakfasts, and then we enjoyed the restaurants in town for other meals. We really had a great time and hope to return in the future!!

Excellent location

By far, Hamilton cove is where you want to stay on Catalina. It is away from the town but close enough you are not left out. It's a simple/short golf cart ride back to town with terrific views. The complex is clean, beautiful, has all the amenities you need, and the beach/water access is better than anywhere else. We snorkeled easily right off the cove dock where there was a kelp forrest and tons of fish - great spot within walking distance of the condo. The condo is in a great location with beautiful views and looks just like the pictures. The owner/agency was very engaged, friendly, and very helpful. We did have an issue with the dishwasher and a leaky toilet however nothing that impacted our stay. We informed the agency and they assured they would address. Having a golf cart at the property was absolutely key. What a great addition and allowed us to go all over Avalon. I would absolutely stay at this property again and highly recommend

Much needed getaway!

My friends and I had a wonderful time. The condo is very nice and comfortable. The views are spectacular! A couple things missing but nothing that took away from our visit. No can opener and couldn’t find the tv remote for the 2nd bedroom. Couldn’t figure out the TV situation but didn’t really miss it. Would stay here again!

Great views, nice place

My husband and I recently stayed here with our 2 teenage kids. It was very clean when we arrived and we were able to check in early. The views are really wonderful. We had coffee on the balcony every morning while watched the sunrise and the dolphins swimming by. The golf cart was new and was super fun for going into town. We made most of our meals in the condo because there were new Covid restrictions with eating out. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking items. I would just suggest adding a can opener and some serving bowls/storage bowls. Thank you for the terrific stay - we did not want to leave!

Location, location, location...unlike others in Hamilton Cove

Unlike others, with this unit you not only avoid numerous stairs, you are ocean front; we have rented 6-8 times in HC (1 and 2 bedrooms) and we will definitely return to this one! If you love having your bedroom door open to hear the sounds of the ocean, this is the place is for you! Unit is as pictured - the furniture is outdated, but being ocean front was our priority. It was just two of us for my fiance's birthday, Catalina is one of his favorite places in SoCal. The place is well laid out if you are traveling with another couple or with kids; lots of space in common areas. There are also two new comfy chaise loungers on the big balcony. Kitchen is well stocked with exception of "tupperware" as another has reviewed, but appliances including coffee machine, blender, toaster, knife set, cookware all appear fairly new. Master shower is new and it's gorgeous! Master bed was very comfortable and sheets were fine (white, which I prefer in rentals), but a higher quality makes all the difference. We cooked in, 2 of our 3 nights and spent all of our time on the balcony. One thing to note, the mgmnt company did not seem use to handling a "last minute" booking (I booked late afternoon/early eve Thursday for a Saturday arrival). Maybe due to covid they were a little off their A-game...I received a somewhat "frantic" vmail at 3:00pm, right as the office hours closed Friday, stating "call us immediately with a photo of your ID and CC"; then I received two separate emails to list other guests. At the gate the HC employee told us our unit did not exist and was not very nice or helpful...when we asked if he had any paperwork with my name, we pointed out that 4-17 was our arrival date, not the unit # which is when he realized his mistake and changed his tune (big blue date in highlighter); he said he was weekend staff. This is no fault of the management company. I'm sure most people book further in advance (we thought we had secured a different unit, but found we had overlooked returning the rental agreement in time). Then, when we arrived our room at 3:11, it had not been cleaned; we dropped our bags, went to town for lunch at Maggie'e Blue Rose (our favorite), called, ended up speaking w/Nancy...when we returned a few hours later the apartment was cleaned impeccably! We had a few hiccups but this was a much needed escape which we thoroughly enjoyed = we highly recommend this unit if you share our love of the ocean!

Worst stay ever

This was the worst stay I have ever had. Upon arrival the property smelled of wood lacquer, must have just been lacquered from the front door to deck railing. Which we dismissed as a maintenance item, but thought it should have been disclosed. We found the golf cart dirty and uncovered. So we had to wipe it down. The dishwasher was falling out of the cabinets. The master bedroom had poor water pressure and was luke warm at best. The patio furniture was broken and unusable. Property was dirty and out dated. We proceeded to find the second bedroom door lock broken from the outside, so if you are in the bedroom and shut the door, you better hope someone else is the house to let you out. we found ants in the kitchen, in the toaster, blender and coffee pot. It wasn't much at first but by the night it had taken over the entire second bedroom bed and bathroom. They were everywhere and covered the bed, and the only solution offered was ant spray, which we were told the cleaning crew would come and take care of. which never happened. it was so bad we had to leave and stay at a hotel. I would never recommend staying here..

Spectacular Views

Absolutely the views, and location of this unit. It was in it's own private neighborhood and very private. Tucked in a cove a short drive from the city of Avalon. The golf cart is a must, and we were happy it came with the room. The communication was very good. The room had a few maintenance issues that we forwarded to them so they could addressed. I would most definitely stay in this neighborhood again.

Beware of the Ants

Everything that the other reviews specified is accurate. The convenience of access to golf cart, location and amenities were a 10/10. The issue ⚠️ ANTS. Both bathrooms and bedrooms have an ant problem. My husband and daughter both could not get a decent night’s sleep due to Ant's crawling on them in the beds. We contacted the property manager who offered to come and address the problem but we choose not to be interrupted as we were only staying 2 nights in total and based on the amount of ant traps located throughout the property - Ant's were clearly a known issue. My compliant is that this ongoing ant problem was not disclosed to us. For the amount of rules (of which we could complied with every single one) you would think that there would have been a heads up notice about the ant problem.
