Such a beautiful view and the grounds are equally stunning. A quick (and super fun) golf cart ride into town. Couldn’t have had a better time. This property is so great. And the balcony is spacious!! We used it a few times per day to soak up the beauty of Catalina Island!!!

Too many stairs no elevator

In summery I will list the issues we had during our brief stay before we opted to stay somewhere else for the remainder of our weekend. 1)

It was a great experience renting this property! It couldn’t be in a better spot! It was easy dealing with the company we rented with and the property was everything we thought it would be!

Great location with stunning views. Having a golf cart to explore was great. Staff was great and helpful.

Beautiful property amazing views very comfortable. Will be back

Ants in the bathroom. 87 steps to golf cart, pool, beach.....too many!

Nice condo in a great location with beautiful views! Loved the balcony

Enjoyed our stay, the condo was perfect for our needs. It was great to wake up in the morning and be able to sit on the deck overlooking the ocean. Beautiful view. Hamilton Cove is gorgeous and well taken care of. Golf cart was wonderful to have to travel around Avalone. Loved it!!!!

Other than the stairs, this was the perfect location for our honeymoon. We could have used an umbrella in the morning because the sun is intense. We loved the golf cart that was included. It made trips to downtown Avalon so easy. We would definitely stay her again!

We loved our experience and loved the rental. The views and location were unbelievable. We loved being able to cook and enjoy the views from the patio. We loved the little private beach. We loved having access to the golf cart to explore the rest of the island. The condo had lots of space and a great layout perfect for a family of 4. The stairs were tough at times but well worth the other amenities. We also saved money renting this condo vs a hotel due to the ability to cook and the golf cart and it was much more spacious and comfortable than a hotel. Next trip to Catalina we will stay here again. We have also told all our friends and family as well. Beyond pleased with our stay.

Loved my stay here, the check-in was super akward but the rest was amazing. Hamilton Cove has no cell reception so make sure to have your documentation printed out and in hand or you will be stuck. The guard gate will ask what unit you are in, if you don't know there will be a problem. Without reception, you will not be able to use your phone to retrieve the info from your email or the internet. You will also need the door code before you arrive because again, no cell reception. Once you get past this hurdle you will have a lovely stay! Make sure not to leave any food out, there is a huge ant problem. As long as you don't leave any food out you will be fine! I loved my stay and will absolutely return, it's basically glamping :)

Beautiful view. Comfortable condo. It seems that most of the previously mentioned issues by other posters were resolved. One new one--ant investation in the kitchen. No food could be left out. Also, the patio is not private. It is shared/easy to walk between neighboring units--no problem if they are unoccupied.

The property had a beautiful view and communication with the property manager was easy and quick. This property is quite a hike from the main town of Avalon, so driving the golf cart into town was a must! The only issue we had was ants. We didn't cook at the property or store food that wasn't sealed, but by the morning after check in there was a huge trail of ants across the kitchen leading into the trash which eventually spread to our belongings stored on the bench in the living room. It was a bummer for such a nice property otherwise.

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I don't want anyone else caught in the same situation. This unit and the golf cart need some serious attention. This is the third time we've stayed in this unit, previously in 2017 twice. Positives: Check-in was a breeze and we really appreciated being able to get in early. Also, the view is unbeatable. We love being at Hamilton Cove. The new king-size bed was a nice surprise as was the new sofa. That being said, here are the negatives: The golf cart is in desperate need of service. Due to poor suspension or steering, we almost tipped the cart over in town when we hit a dip in the road. The roof is broken (pictures have been sent to the management company). The exhaust is horrendous. Maybe due to the need for service, or? It wasn't an issue before. The kitchen needs more glassware. There are 2 glasses, and otherwise it's just the plastic cups WE donated back in 2017. The coffee carafe was broken, but quickly replaced. There were ants EVERYWHERE. No dishwasher soap in the unit. Previously we were allowed to use the washer and dryer, soap was even provided. Not this time. Literally one of the reasons we choose to stay in a condo. The patio furniture is in serious need of replacement. The upholstery is disintegrated and ripped in several places. My son almost fell over in a chair that was broken, then the chair I was sitting in broke. I fell backwards hitting my head, my foot hit the table leaving a huge bruise, and I scraped/bruised my shoulder. I let management know, and there still hasn't been any followup. Hopefully the set has been replaced since then (Sept 8, 2020). I guess the sad part is that most (if not all) of these issues have been addressed in previous reviews. Hopefully more attention is given to the issues now. Catalina is home to me. We'll certainly be back but I will definitely do my due diligence in choosing another unit next time.
