Reviews of Oceanfront villa w One of a kind Amazing View consistently praise sweeping ocean vistas, spacious interiors, and a quiet setting, with many guests appreciating the included golf cart for easy trips to town and the wraparound balcony.
While many describe the condo as very clean and well kept, a few report ants, occasional musty linens or odors, and sporadic maintenance issues. Access involves numerous stairs that some found strenuous when handling luggage. Hosts are generally responsive and helpful, though there are isolated complaints about communication, check-in, and one serious dispute after a plumbing failure. Expect a comfortable stay with striking surroundings and some logistical considerations.

If your looking to relax and take some time for self This is the home for you Just note that there are 80 steps to go down and up however once you have checked into this lovely home It wouldn’t matter. We booked this home for my husband’s birthday. He wanted to stay somewhere different and that’s exactly what Catalina gave him From the area we stayed to driving a golf cart to get around and taking in the town he enjoyed it all. The home we stayed in offered everything we needed It was our home away from home Being that it is the Winter the restaurants we wanted to eat at weren’t open so we just grabbed some things at the grocery store and made due. We literally stayed in the entire time unless we had to make a store run We enjoyed the home with our 8mnth old baby boy We took in the breathtaking views of the ocean and got some much needed rest We’d love to come back in the Summer when things are fully open And would love to book again

Of the three times we’ve stayed at Hamilton Cove, this unit was, by far, the largest, cleanest and most comfy. Top of the line appliances, beautiful large deck with amazing views, great golf cart, and plenty of space. The only ‘FYI’ is that there are about 60 steps down to the unit (and then backup up) so keep that in mind if you have challenges.

This is a fabulous place to stay. Gorgeous view quiet and very convenient. Golf cart is a plus I only wish check out time was later than 10 am. It felt rushy to get out and barely gave us enough time for a morning shower and eat breakfast. Other than that highly recommended

We loved our stay in Hamilton Cove! The views are incredible. The whole family enjoyed watching ships come in, seals swimming around, and just watching the waves. The house looks just like the photos, beds were comfy and there were lots of extra blankets! Great location and lots to do in the neighborhood - tennis, swimming, put put. The owner was very responsive to the few things we needed, and we would come back! Thank you!!

We were so pleased with this villa. The views and the deck are absolutely gorgeous. The Villa as well. We had a problem with the oven burning smoke when we tried to make pizza . We believe it was an error on the cleaning people who forgot to wipe down the oven after putting oven cleaner in. A few minor things but all in all a lovely experience. Be warned! It is about 100 steps down to the unit. Not an easy walk carrying luggage.

This property is incredible. The location and the views are priceless. All furnishings and appliances are top notch. The golf cart was such an amazing bonus and it hauled the 5 of us all around town with ease. The place is so beautiful you may not want to leave! Great communication from property manager and terrific instructions.

The villa locates in building 18, midway. The unit is very clean, spacious and comes with basic necessities. The patio is a wrapped-around patio where you can see nothing but the ocean while the other sides you can see the houses of the Hamilton Cove as well as the ocean. The golf cart fits 6 people, which is perfect for us. Amber is extremely nice and responsive, from the time I made the booking to the time that I checked out. She gave clear instructions and made sure we had everything we needed. My family and I surely had a very relaxing time during our stay. Highly recommended and would come back again.

All in all, a beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed it. However, Be ready for lot of stairs, no air conditioning, or black out curtains. Also the 6 person golf cart would not make it up the hill with 4 adults and 2 small children

My husband and I along with another couple had an amazing stay. The villa is well appointed. Beds are extremely comfortable. Views so incredible that words are hard to find to describe. The boys spent their morning diving at Avalon Dive Park while the ladies couldn't peel themselves away from the patio and mimosas. Would absolutely recommend staying here. One thing to keep in mind, the villa is down quite a few staircases. But definitely worth the effort!

This property may well be the best rental we've stayed at. Everything was lovely. It's a long climb but delightful location, beautiful facility, totally comfortable. The golf cart worked perfectly and made the ride to town easy.

We love Hamilton Cove and have stayed there many summers. This was probably the cleanest unit we’ve stayed in and never had an ant issue unlike other properties there. Lots of stairs so be mindful of that when leaving with your luggage. Definitely easier going down then up! Would absolutely stay here again!

The View and location are absolutely amazing. The property and facilities are stunning - makes you feel like you are on a hillside Ocean resort in Europe. It was also great to have access to the golf cart to go into town with. There was a REALLY bad ant problem at the property. We could not keep them from the second bedroom bathroom area and at one dinner they ended up all over the food we had staged on the kitchen countertop. The second bathroom also had a dead frog next to the toilet when we arrived, so between that and the continual any problem in that bathroom it was a little disturbing to our friends that stayed in that room. the second plug in the master bathroom (the non GFI reset one) also does not work - no big deal - we just used the other one. Overall though, we loved the location and property. The check in and out process was easy and Amber was great to work with.

The overall cleanliness was lacking; the towels, covers, and sheets had an old, musty smell, as if they weren’t properly washed. There were also a lot of ants in the condo. However, the view is fantastic. Just pack light and be ready for plenty of stairs!

We stayed here with our two young children. On our first night, the bathtub tap broke, started gushing water, and couldn’t be stopped. We immediately called the property manager, who came with a plumber. Their solution? Shut off all water to the villa — leaving us with no running water for over 12 hours. I texted and called repeatedly the next morning. No response. Then, out of nowhere, I got a message:“Hi Louis, the reservation has been cancelled due to the damage you caused. Please leave the villa as soon as possible.”We were accused without conversation, support, or basic courtesy. When I finally spoke to the owner, there was no concern for us — just a monologue about how she was impacted.The property is not as pictured. It’s painted a dark, drab grey, is musty and dusty, and the bathrooms are outdated. The plumbing clearly wasn’t maintained — yet we were blamed for a tap that broke under normal use.This was the worst treatment I’ve ever received as a guest. If anything breaks here — even due to age or normal use — expect to be blamed, ghosted, then evicted by text. STAY FAR AWAY.

We stayed in Villa 68 for the second year in a row...we absolutely loved every second. It is absolutely beautiful. Our family of five had more than enough room and we enjoyed the views morning and night. The kids also love cruising everywhere in the golf cart. The owners of the Villa are beyond kind. Our daughter left her stuffed animal and they went and got it for us and made sure we got it the same day. We hope to make this an annual trip and are sad to be home!

We had an absolutely amazing vacation on Catalina Island and this villa was perfect! There were four of us all together. The place was extremely clean, beds were SO comfy, space was plentiful and the view was breathtaking! Morning sunrises and clear starry skies overlooking the water will be something you will remember forever. It was great that there was a golf cart provided for us to make the quick drive into downtown Avalon. Hamilton Cove was a great, quiet location that felt secluded from the busyness of downtown but it was so nice that we could get there within a 10 minute drive. We would highly suggest taking the Food and Drink tour (we loved our guide, Janet). Would recommend coffee from the Brew House, lobster from the Lobster Trap, local chats and drinks and the Marlin Club, amazing Italian food from M Restaurant and the best ice cream from Sailor's. Thank you for the most memorable trip!!

Of the three times we’ve stayed at Hamilton Cove, this unit was, by far, the largest, cleanest and most comfy. Top of the line appliances, beautiful large deck with amazing views, great golf cart, and plenty of space. The only ‘FYI’ is that there are about 60 steps down to the unit (and then backup up) so keep that in mind if you have challenges.

If you dream of just relaxing with your favorite drink in a comfortable chair, soaking in the sun, listening to the waves while watching the boats float by….this is the PERFECT location. The mostly private (we never saw a neighbor) wrap around, corner balcony was AMAZING! We were so comfortable it was hard to leave to visit Avalon. The furnishings are beautiful and comfortable. The beds, pillows and linens were all very high quality. The condo is spacious with views from every window. The golf cart was stylish, easy to drive/park and quiet. IF I had to say anything negative it would be the countless stairs BUT we knew about that and we got a great workout in. The condo is worth every step and more. I can’t say enough positive things about our stay. Our only regret was not booking it for a longer stay!” Patricia 68

Our original trip to Mexico was cancelled so we booked this 2 nt stay within 5 days of traveling. The condo was georgeous, very nicely decorated, plush towels, tempur pedicure mattresses (even the pullout!). Awesome wrap-around porch - perfect for viewing the perfect weather! Biggest bummer was location…planted right in the middle of the hillside, so either a 12 floors down or 9 floors up. Not ideal for relaxing, but good to work off all the delicious food we ate! Thanks for a great stay!

The golf cart was such an amazing bonus and it hauled the 5 of us all around town with ease. The place is so beautiful you may not want to leave! Great communication from property manager and terrific instructions.

The villa locates in building 18, midway. The unit is very clean, spacious and comes with basic necessities. The patio is a wrapped-around patio where you can see nothing but the ocean while the other sides you can see the houses of the Hamilton Cove as well as the ocean. The golf cart fits 6 people, which is perfect for us. Amber is extremely nice and responsive, from the time I made the booking to the time that I checked out. She gave clear instructions and made sure we had everything we needed. My family and I surely had a very relaxing time during our stay. Highly recommended and would come back again.

We stayed here with our two young children. On our first night, the bathtub tap broke, started gushing water, and couldn’t be stopped. We immediately called the property manager, who came with a plumber. Their solution? Shut off all water to the villa — leaving us with no running water for over 12 hours. I texted and called repeatedly the next morning. No response. Then, out of nowhere, I got a message:“Hi Louis, the reservation has been cancelled due to the damage you caused. Please leave the villa as soon as possible.”We were accused without conversation, support, or basic courtesy. When I finally spoke to the owner, there was no concern for us — just a monologue about how she was impacted.The property is not as pictured. It’s painted a dark, drab grey, is musty and dusty, and the bathrooms are outdated. The plumbing clearly wasn’t maintained — yet we were blamed for a tap that broke under normal use.This was the worst treatment I’ve ever received as a guest. If anything breaks here — even due to age or normal use — expect to be blamed, ghosted, then evicted by text. STAY FAR AWAY.

I was told before I paid for the property that there would be no problem checking in early if it was available. After I paid, the host said, if I wanted to check early, I could pay for an extra day. I thought that was very rude. in the master suite, the toilet seat was broken, we had to fix it with a butter knife. The hot water shower head is broken. The coffee pot was clogged and we had to take it apart and clean it. There was no coffee, no foil no plastic no bags no cookie sheets . The host was nice enough to have somebody bring us all those things, but it was on the second day, so a dollar short. When we got to Catalina, we asked the luggage company to bring our luggage down to our room. They said they were full when we left our room , we called the luggage company and asked them to come and pick up our bags and store them. They said they were full. Very scary and disappointing for spending so much money and having so many problems. The view was spectacular. Also, there were no utensils for the barbecue and nothing to clean it with, and we were told we had to leave it clean.

Location
Quiet, scenic Hamilton Cove setting with sweeping ocean vistas, and the provided golf cart makes the short trip to Avalon easy. The hillside position means lots of steps to reach the unit.

If your looking to relax and take some time for self This is the home for you Just note that there are 80 steps to go down and up however once you have checked into this lovely home It wouldn’t matter. We booked this home for my husband’s birthday. He wanted to stay somewhere different and that’s exactly what Catalina gave him From the area we stayed to driving a golf cart to get around and taking in the town he enjoyed it all. The home we stayed in offered everything we needed It was our home away from home Being that it is the Winter the restaurants we wanted to eat at weren’t open so we just grabbed some things at the grocery store and made due. We literally stayed in the entire time unless we had to make a store run We enjoyed the home with our 8mnth old baby boy We took in the breathtaking views of the ocean and got some much needed rest We’d love to come back in the Summer when things are fully open And would love to book again

We had an absolutely amazing vacation on Catalina Island and this villa was perfect! There were four of us all together. The place was extremely clean, beds were SO comfy, space was plentiful and the view was breathtaking! Morning sunrises and clear starry skies overlooking the water will be something you will remember forever. It was great that there was a golf cart provided for us to make the quick drive into downtown Avalon. Hamilton Cove was a great, quiet location that felt secluded from the busyness of downtown but it was so nice that we could get there within a 10 minute drive. We would highly suggest taking the Food and Drink tour (we loved our guide, Janet). Would recommend coffee from the Brew House, lobster from the Lobster Trap, local chats and drinks and the Marlin Club, amazing Italian food from M Restaurant and the best ice cream from Sailor's. Thank you for the most memorable trip!!

The View and location are absolutely amazing. The property and facilities are stunning - makes you feel like you are on a hillside Ocean resort in Europe. It was also great to have access to the golf cart to go into town with. There was a REALLY bad ant problem at the property. We could not keep them from the second bedroom bathroom area and at one dinner they ended up all over the food we had staged on the kitchen countertop. The second bathroom also had a dead frog next to the toilet when we arrived, so between that and the continual any problem in that bathroom it was a little disturbing to our friends that stayed in that room. the second plug in the master bathroom (the non GFI reset one) also does not work - no big deal - we just used the other one. Overall though, we loved the location and property. The check in and out process was easy and Amber was great to work with.

This is a fabulous place to stay. Gorgeous view quiet and very convenient. Golf cart is a plus I only wish check out time was later than 10 am. It felt rushy to get out and barely gave us enough time for a morning shower and eat breakfast. Other than that highly recommended

We felt that the Villa captured all view points of Avalon! From early morning to late at night, every change in the day/night was gorgeous! The Villa was spaceous, clean and had everything we needed and we are pretty high maintenance! The stairs to the Villa are something to keep in mind if you have any issues or injuries. The golf cart was awesome and gave us so much freedom. We saw several deer on the way to town and Vons on Sumner was so great to stock up with whatever you need. Overall, a wonderful getaway!

This property may well be the best rental we've stayed at. Everything was lovely. It's a long climb but delightful location, beautiful facility, totally comfortable. The golf cart worked perfectly and made the ride to town easy.

Beautiful property with amazing views. The included golf cart was a major plus. My only complaint is that there are several flights of very steep stairs to get to the unit, which was not disclosed on the listing. I would stay here again.
