Nice private community with a gated entrance. Quiet but still kid friendly. The Hide-a-bed sofa was broken but they had an air mattress that worked just fine for the kids. Great view from the semi-private balcony. Golf cart worked great. No cell service but Wi-Fi was great to make calls or send text.

The accommodation's were exceptional with breath taking views, very romantic place if your enjoying a beautiful sunset from the balcony or listening the the ocean waves with the french doors open from the master bedroom or the family room. Fun to drive around the Island in the golf cart. The pool is heated, great tennis courts and lovely lush landscape. Close to everything! I would highly recommend this place for your next getaway.

Definitely would stay here again!!

We had a fantastic time at La Casa Sirena! The property was so beautiful, with an AMAZING view. We just loved hanging out on the balcony overlooking the beach below. The golf cart was a great amenity, allowing us to get to and from Avalon so easily. Chela was also very helpful upon arrival. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Shari and Brad

Wonderful stay! Loved the property with great help by Property Manager with check-in and questions.

Great place great location!!!

Loved the location and the golf cart was so helpful! There were a few cleanliness issues which I will contact the owners about. Fun island!

This property was perfect for our family of three! The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was big and comfy, there was a pull out couch for our son, a patio, a washer & dryer, and a golf cart! The gated community was very clean and quiet! The sofa bed was a little hard to me but my 10 year old son didn't complain once. Though there were a lot of stairs, they weren't an issue at all for us. I'd just recommend you make sure you grab everything you need before you head back up to the parking lot! The only thing on our wishlist missing was sunshine and warmer temps! I'd highly recommend this property! You'd have a tough time finding a place like this that includes a golf cart! A major bonus that you definitely need to consider!

The condo is in a great location. Safe, gated community with great amenities. Loved the basketball courts, fitness center, & pool. Beautiful views out the balcony. Only downside in condo was the uncomfortable bed. I can sleep anywhere and sleep well but tossed and turned as the bed is very hard. We have our names for check in at front gate but the manager did not give them or the gate did not write them down so had to fill out some papers and provide proof of stay. Then once got to the door we had lockbox code for keys but did not know where the lockbox was located. We had to call and text a few times before we got ahold of property manager to find out where located.

Best view in town.

We were notified two days before trip that rain damage to Hamilton condo necessitated a move to another place in town. Bahia Vista was adequate, but not as nice as Hamilton Cove and we had no golf cart. No golf carts are available for 3 day use, only for $60 per hour, so we had to take bus and walk, but being in town was okay. It just wasn't quite the trip we anticipated. One sunny day though!

We had stopped in Avalon on a cruise once and decided that some day we would return. This was the day! Really glad we stayed! We were comfortable. It was quiet. Bed was so comfy (we actually took a nap one rainy day🤫). We had a golf cart to explore which was absolutely perfect! Transport to and from was easy. Genuinely nice people every where!

When visiting Catalina, I have a deep nostalgia for Hamilton cove as my family had owned a unit in building one for nearly twenty years. I wanted to share childhood memories with my partner over Valentine’s Day weekend and we had a lovely time. The stay in Hamilton Cove was icing on the cake. However, when entering the condo we noticed that the ceiling appears to have severe water damage. Enough water damage to be covered in black mold and missing paint/drooping drywall, directly over the living room. For a two night stay totaling over 1k with service & cleaning fees this is completely unacceptable and a health hazard. I highly suggest the owners fix this asap before allowing guests to stay at their location and to be completely honest in their listing.

PROS: In the private gated community of Hamilton Cove 2 miles outside of Avalon, the unit is situated about 2/3 up the hill alongside many other condos with identical layouts and gorgeous balcony views of the bay. It was well equipped, has comfortable furniture and pleasing decor. The golf cart, also older, head headlights, a cover and great to have for getting around. Clubs, rackets and beach towels were provided. (We were not able to use any of the putting greens, courts, volleyball or pool due to heavy rains and the hot tub was under repair.) CONs: The cabinets, appliances and fixtures are old, the fans rattle and the lights are dim for winter use. Kitchen--appliances, though useable, were rusted and in need of maintenance/replacement. Ant traps were everywhere. We made sure we left no food out and saw no ants. Bathroom--shower drain, handle and faucet were also corroded with the latter leaking heavily. The towel rack was broken, pieces in the cabinet. The pocket doors through the closet from the bedroom to the bathroom automatically lock and are very difficult to open, requiring depressing a shallow quarter inch plastic button. Washer/Dryer-- in an outside closet by the front door and was unusable due to rain. OUR EXPERIENCE: (It should be noted we paid twice the regular rate for 3 nights over New Years.) On our 2nd night insanely loud alarms went off. It was impossible to remain indoors. We had no idea what was going on and, terrified, ran out in our pajamas with our valuables in a downpour. After several calls & texts we were able to speak with Chela who let us know that the alarms were fire & flood warning but not to worry as they go off frequently. She said she'd call security to get them to turn off the alarms. After 20 minutes of hell and terror, it ended and we went back into the unit. The ceiling and floors were cracked, water was leaking from the ceiling and the rug was soaked. We begged Chela to come by to see but ultimately agreed to talk in the morning so she didn't have to brave the rains and wind. We mopped up the water, left out several containers to catch the leaks, took photos and sent them to her so she could submit them to the HOA for claims, and cleaned up the mess. The next day, Chela offered to move us to another unit for our last night's stay but we ultimately decided moving would be too much of a hassle with all our luggage. We were offered a refund from Chela but the owners haven't responded to our emails.

The villa is well appointed and has incredible views! I loved waking up to the sunrise over the ocean. We cannot wait to come back!

We both really enjoyed staying at this location location. The view is awesome. Everything inside was great.. I liked that there was a landlord a clan line. My cell phone connection seemed to improve as time went by. Wish the bathroom had brighter lighting. Loved the pool and putting golf course. Also 57 steps down to room. 57 steps up to street. Whoo!

This was our first trip to Catalina, we enjoyed it very much. We will be back again. The view was great from this unit. The golf cart could be updated but we were happy to have it.

My husband and I recently stayed here for the first time and we were not disappointed. The condo was perfect. We didn’t cook at all as we wanted to enjoy the fresh fish the island had to offer but the coffee maker was great. The bed was comfortable as we were lulled asleep by the gentle sound of the waves. It was nicely decorated and the patio was exceptional for a morning cup of Java or an afternoon/evening of watching boats, kayaker’s, jet skiers and para sailers with an occasional sea lion passing by. The golf cart was a must to get around the island and we enjoyed seeing as much of it as we could. Overall a great trip and condo. We have already recommended this place to friends and family.

This property has wonderful views and a gem! Not for the less physical fit folks as it has 58 steps to the front door. The four seater golf cart is a great selling point and works, but as a mechanic I could tell it needs work. The property itself is great!

No Air conditioning! No soap for hands or shower. Only 2 washcloths. 53 steps down to condo and 53 steps UP to street. Golf cart is filthy and extremely noisy and backfires. Ants everywhere. Key was NOT in lockbox. Luckily we tried the door and it opened.

Beautiful property and condo for first stay in Avalon- hope to have many more!

Even better than expected. Beautiful. Clean. Felt like a trip to Italy. Would have loved to stay even longer. So you know- it's a lot of stairs. (The downsides were very minor- the frying pan is peeling non-stick scratched up coating, no driver seatbelt in the golf cart, the tv remote situation was tricky and reception inconsistent, needed more pillowcases, the patio umbrella was broken, son felt awkward with the topless mermaid art :) .) But still we loved it. Everything was super! We'd definitely go back!

We had a lovely unit with full views of water. We did have a few issues, which were nobody's fault, and were taken care of in good time. Chela was wonderful and very responsive. Thank you! Hope to see you again.

My spouse and I checked in on Sunday and checked out today (Friday). We loved the private area, gorgeous views on the patio, convenience of being able to take the golf cart down into town. Condo had really cute sea, mermaid decor we adored. It definitely made you feel like you were on vacation! Recommendation that would improve guest’s stay would be to have property mgmt see if any of the kitchen tools need to be swapped out and possible more thorough cleaning on the countertops and floors. I took pictures of the severely rusted grill that we wanted to used to bbq our meat. We had to use the small pot to make the eggs, potatoes and sausage links because the pan was really rusted too. It made the concept of cooking in the condo a bit difficult. For the amount you pay the only value we saw was the view from the bedroom and living room patio doors. The tv in the bedroom does not work and we asked Chela to bring us an additional beach towel which was forgotten. We needed the beach towels to lay down on the bathroom floor because the existing bathroom rug had a funky smell and the couch had bunch of crumbs probably from the previous guests. I would recommend staying at the Hamilton Cove for the exclusivity and privacy.

Loved sitting on the balcony enjoying the views. Hated all the stairs. Place was nicely furnished and equipped. Had a problem with the tv. Called management they got on it. No other problems.

Terrific location, nice amenities. Great view!!

My overall impression of the property is that it is a very very nice place with a breathtaking view. The owners were kind and easy to work with. If I were property managers, I would include some toiletries such as generic (Costco) bath gel, shampoo and toilet paper. Toilet paper we got was so thin and caused us to use more than we would have needed to with a higher quality. Also, the property was not prepared when we arrived. No toilet paper or towels. No fault really. Just that aspect could've been a wee bit better. Still a lovely stay.

We really enjoyed having the golf cart to use! We could plan our day on our timeline. Eco Tour and Casino Tour were awesome. Beautiful views from the condo. Wished there were less steps to condo and pool.

We loved our stay and will be back. Exceeded all expectations.
