About this villa rental

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.

We had a great time staying at Hamilton Cove. It is a very nice and secure complex with great amenities. Be aware that the condo is accessed by about two flights of stairs from the road above and three flights from below. There is a million dollar view from the balcony that we never got tired of. Watching the sunrise rise each morning was a treat. Rich, the property host, was friendly, attentive and accommodating. Communication was quick and clear. Generally the condo was comfortable, clean and well stocked. We were surprised that there was no bar soap provided. We planned to shop for some groceries so that was easy for us to rectify. There were some ants primarily in the kitchen and bathroom. We were cautious with our food and toiletries so they never caused a serious issue. We found the tile shower to be quite slippery but we countered that by putting a bath towel down to stand on. A rubber mat would be a nice addition. The dishwasher didn’t appear to have been working properly. I could see a lot of detergent residue inside and it had a funky smell when it was opened. There wasn’t any dishwasher detergent anyway so we just left it closed and hand washed the dishes we used. It wasn’t a big deal for us but could be for folks that plan to cook a lot. Bottom line, we would happily return to Hamilton Cove and Rich’s condo.

I have rented some lovely VRBO homes. I do expect a certain standard, when I pay a lot of money and the stay in this apartment failed to live up to normal expectations. Oh boy, does this owner know how to charge! $100 Extra to check in a few hours early. Extra to hire a crib for a baby, an extra $100 if you fail to fill up the golf cart tank. It took $6 in fuel, when we filled it up. Very abrupt text messages from owner when we asked a question. I expect a certain standard and do not expect ants to be all over the kitchen. Owner clearly knew about them as ant bait is in the laundry room. Cleaners were waiting outside the apartment 15 mins before check out time, clearly rushing us out. Catalina is lovely, but I would not stay in this apartment again.

Our 6th anniversary. Spent a week and could have used a few more days. Last time at Hamilton Cove/Catalina was about 9 yrs ago in an upper unit. Being in a lower unit was great as we always could here the ocean!

Booked this place for the 2nd time for a 4 day stay with grandsons. Perfect location to be away from town when cruise ships arrive. Golf cart is a lot of fun and makes it easy to see more of the island. Richard is a great host. Will definitely book again!

Rich is a fantastic host. Very attentive to all my questions and concerns. He would usually respond within minutes of sending a message. A view from the balcony to die for. Golf cart is an absolute necessity. Especially since the golf cart rental in Avalon would cost $60 per hour. The Vons grocery store is very nice and has everything you could possibly need. I would rent this villa again in the future.

This condo was very cute and had all you would need in a full kitchen, king-size bed, and family room. You need to be comfortable driving a golf cart everywhere, since this location is not close enough or safe to walk to town. The golf cart was older and emitted quite a few fumes...maybe time to upgrade it?

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The peaceful setting and gorgeous views were so relaxing! There was always something to see out beyond the railing of the balcony; a variety of boats, kayaks, swimmers, birds and people watching. We enjoyed the private cove for great snorkeling and even though the beach is rocky, wearing water shoes or sandals made it navigable. There are shaded tables and bbq’s in the common area at the beach level. The condo was well equiped for home cooking including a nice bbq. The washer/dryer was appreciated. The bedroom can be closed off for late sleepers and the bed was very comfortable. Of course the ‘free’ golf cart was the deal closer! It was dependable and we took many long rides on the scenic routes. It was so convenient to get to the market and restaurants. ( carts in town rent for $65 an hour!) We fueled the day we left, we used less than a gallon! We would definitely stay in this property again.
