Outstanding water view from deck, living room and bedroom. Light, bright, roomy and airy space outfitted with everything you need for a short or extended stay. The golf cart was an added (needed) bonus. Super comfy bed!Loved the kitchen opening up to the living space and the ocean view! Washer and dryer just outside the front door was especially appreciated and handy. The entire community is just breathtaking and magical. We have family on the island and look forward to staying here again!

Disliked: Cleanliness
There was no broom to sweep up floors and ants were prevalent. The doors to the bathroom and from bathroom to bedroom were dirty and didn't look like they had ever been cleaned. Thing appeared to be surface cleaned only, and not deep cleaned. Next to no water pressure in shower and shower had mold in the grout. There was also a screw protruding from the linen cabinet woodwork. Difficult to get access instructions or even a proper address for taxi service to get to the facility. More advance specific details would have been comforting and helfpful. Golf cart had a kitchen knife rattling around, left over sun screen, etc. and didn't appear to have been cleaned or checked between guests. Only one partial roll of toilet paper and only one extra roll with instructions to buy your own at the local store. No full disclosure of the physical challenges of massive number of stairs and no elevators. No current information on location of where to refuel golf cart, directions, maps or current event. Not what we expect in Vrbo hospitality. Not much in the way of privacy screening between units. It was an absolutely breathtakingly beautiful place but with the unfortunate challenges noted. More personal attention and focus on guest convenience and hospitality recommended.

While we had a wonderful time in Avalon, I would say our stay was average. While view of the condo was stunning, the kitchen had dirty/ dust covered dishes/ utilinsel put away, condiments expired in the fridge, include an unlabeled bottle of unknown contents, no pot holders or dish towels. Additionally the water was shut off for a full day with the management unaware. When it came back on it was brown and uneven in water pressure, and the management didn’t give us any advice on how to handle the issue when we reported it. Again overall it was an amazing trip, this didn’t ruin anything. But when expecting something a bit luxurious for the price, this fell short, thus the 3 stars.

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!

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.
