December Special: Elegant Two Bedroom with Ocean view, Private Balcony & Gated Community

Below you will find details about our 2 bed/ 2 bath home, Hamilton Cove 13-45, located in Avalon on Catalina!

Leave all the hustle and bustle behind and return to a slower pace of life, the island life. Our Hamilton Cove 13-45 condo is located in the exclusive, gated Hamilton Cove community. It's tucked away in a cove next to the main town of Avalon. You'll enjoy palm trees and an expansive view of the Pacific Ocean from the living space, bedroom and deck of our condo. At the horizon, you can see Los Angeles and in the foreground is a private beach. The community recreation center of Hamilton Cove has a pool, hot tub and fitness center for guests to use. The community also offers a playground, sand volleyball court, 18-hole putting green, tennis courts, croquet lawn, basketball hoop and picnic area for your enjoyment.

Enter the front door of your vacation home and feel the sea breeze. The open floor plan allows you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean all day long. The living room has a 46 inch flat screen TV and a priceless ocean view. There is dining seating for 6. The kitchen has everything you need for eating in with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. The wrap around balcony is a delightful spot to have breakfast and watch the sunrise. Spend your evenings grilling dinner on the BBQ provided for you on the balcony. And while the sun sets on the other side of the island, it is still incredible to enjoy the beauty of dusk.

About 22 miles south-southwest of Los Angeles, Catalina Island is the southernmost island of California's Channel Islands. The Island is made up of two towns, the incorporated city of Avalon on the east end, and the unincorporated village Two Harbors on the west end. The island is just 22 miles long and 8 miles across. Outside of the two towns is a rugged wilderness of majestic beauty under the stewardship of the Catalina Island Conservancy. You can take a passenger ferry from Newport Beach, Dana Point, Long Beach or San Pedro.

Last Minute Booking Policy:
If a guest books with us directly or on VRBO, within 72 hours of arrival, verification credentials are required. By making a payment on the reservation, the guest agrees to comply with our last minute booking policy.

To properly vet a guest with such short notice requires the following; a “selfie” photo specifically of the booking guest's face and holding either a Driver's License, Passport or State ID photo under their chin. We are just looking for a name to match and the photo on the ID to match that of the person in the selfie. This can be sent by email or text to our company email address. Additionally, we need to confirm guest details such as payment, contact information, applicable check-in time, number of guests and ages, any pets, etc.

This process is required, and if a guest refuses to comply then the reservation will be canceled. We have found this procedure to be successful in avoiding fraud, and protecting all parties! We appreciate your cooperation and we are available to help with any questions.

Absolutely Beautiful!
I've lived in So Cal all my life and had never been to Catalina. This place we perfect! Very nice accommodations with a beautiful ocean view. My family used the tennis courts, volleyball court, lawn (spikeball), and of course the workout room with the best workout view ever! It's great to be able to take a short 7 minute golf cart ride to town...and then leave it behind to come back to complete peace and quiet. Highly recommend this!

ALMOST PERFECT
Everything about this property was great: location, view, amenities and the communication with the rental company was absolutely great! My one and only complaint were the ants! They were everywhere! At first it, i didnt mind. However, as the trip progressed, they really became a nuisance. They were crawling on the toilet paper, woke me up as they crawled on my face as i slept. 1 even crawled inside my son's ear! I read reviews about the ants months ago when i booked and figured that issue would have been addressed by now. Sadly it wasn't.

Horrible Customer Service
My Mom and I stayed here for 9 days . The door was hard to get open, the side door lock does not work. When we checked in - early to drop our stuff off at noon (thankful to be able to do this), the water for the toilets was turned off. I was able to get a hold of them and then followed up twice around 3pm and 6:30pm that the water was still off and no response. Also notified them the golf cart was undrivable - the wheels were severely misaligned and one tire was bald due to it. 8:30pm the toilets started working. 3pm next day the alignment was fixed but the tire was not. We reached out multiple times without a response during our stay. It wasn't until they called to verify checkout that I was able to discuss everything with them! Very frustrating. We stayed in most days and limited what we did because we were very concerned about the the safety of the golf cart. It is extremely hilly/steep and the last thing we needed was a blown tire while going up or down the steep hill. The side door handle/lock needs to be fixed, one of the feet of the main sofas is about to fall off, the is paint peeling off the ceiling possibly due to a slow leak - with that said I can look past that but when my Mom and I can't go anywhere due to a safety concern I have a real problem with that. They have yet to do anything about it. I strongly encourage you to steer clear of this rental with the current property management team in place. They are not dependable.

The property was great. I did want to let you know there is still an ant problem though (we saw receipts from a pest control company from August so I assumed it was related to the ants). The biggest problem was in the kitchen, but they were also in the closets in both bedrooms.

Very disappointed in cleanliness
Very disappointed in cleanliness!!! Dirty sheets , bed pads and duvets with dirty covers and stained blood on them in spare room closet bunched up on the floor with ants crawling all over them . Had to start washing everything at 2:00 am that first night after only arrive at 5:00pm. Severe ant problem in kitchen and one of the bedrooms and closet. Family members had ants crawling on them in bed in the middle of the night. We stripped their bed and everything went in the washer , then had them curled up on couch to sleep. The condo had a little ant baits all around the inside, but obviously the problem is way worse than that temporary solution. Could not leave food out at all because the ants in the kitchen we’re horrendous!!!! Dirty plates in the cabinets and placemats put away in the drawers filthy. The only saving grace was the fact that the view was beautiful from the balconies. Until the address all the cleaning issues and the severe ant problem I would not recommend this condo. We splurged to stay there and it wasn’t worth the money!!! Even with all my complaints I was not offered any sort of refund or compensation for the stay. Whoever their on site management of this condo is obviously doing a poor job. On a plus note their washer and dryer works great!!! Thank God because I had to do so much laundry the first couple days!!!
