2B | 2B Villa, 6-seat cart, panoramic ocean views, AC

Loved the property love everything about it the decor it was clean spacious awesome clean views. Only thing was all the stairs

The room had not heater! It was very cold! No elevator! To our room, it was 110 steps of stair. We told our property manager saying no heater in the room and she didn't care! Very bad customer service! Horrible Horrible~~!!! Never going back.

Really enjoyed our stay here, the view from the living room and master bedroom is amazing! The unit is nicely decorated and is very clean. The only drawbacks were the tv in the guest room has no sound and the condo is on an upper level and therefore it has many flights of stairs to get to it which can be very difficult for people.

Beautiful apartment. Great views. Successfully maneuvered the steps. Look forward to coming back to the Cove. The golf cart was dreadful, fumes permeating all of us. Suggest telling next tenants to be dropped off at the top of the steps. Thanks

Would recommend and would stay again

This was our family’s first little vacation with our new 5 month baby. We were very pleased with the property and check-in process! It was so seamless checking in and getting the keys to the unit and our complimentary golf cart. Access to the property via the guarded security gate was also very efficient. We felt safe and loved the views from the unit! The view of the ocean was unobstructed from the living room and the master bedroom. I was able to communicate with the property manager easily via text message and could reach them at all times. The private beach was just steps away and very clean. The only issue we had was the amount of stairs that you have to take to the unit (9 flights of steep stairs). This would have been fine if we didn’t have the baby but we opted to leave our stroller in the golf cart instead of bringing it up and down the stairs every day - so that helped. The unit was well stocked with everything you need including condiments and coffee. Highly recommend staying here! We had a blast!

We had a fantastic stay during the jazz festival. The unit was clean and very well furnished and supplied with everything we needed. Views were spectacular. If I were to make any suggestions, it would be to add a ceiling fan or small oscillating fan in 2nd BR as gets hot and no air circulation. Also, 1 blind in MB won’t close. Overall wonderful unit & great place.

Beautiful resort! The condo it’s self was disappointing. Dusty and full of cobwebs. Super dim lightbulbs in ever room. Mold in the pull out sofa bed mattress and the worst coffee maker I have ever used.

Very nice Villa with gorgeous views and everything you need for your stay! Nice golf cart as well! 112 stairs is a little rough but worth the view!!!

Hamilton Cove condominium property over all is gorgeous. Feels like you are in some other land (Italy, France, Spain?) with stunning views of the ocean. We have rented here before, just not this individual unit. Sadly it was not as nice as expected. Upon opening the door for the first time we were greeted by a dead roach. We found ants everywhere and when they took over the trash area in the kitchen spilling out of the cupboard the first morning, we had to run to town for ant spray. The worst of it all was after spending the first night we found our grown son's shoes that were positioned next to the hide-a-bed had been chewed on all night by a rat or a mouse leaving big holes in the upper sole and ruining his new sandals (there went that $45.00!!!). I did call management (located in Palm Springs) and they said they would contact the Catalina office and have someone take care of it. A maintenance man showed up at 5:00 p.m. and since we had already sprayed for ants in the kitchen he said to let the main office know and they would refund the cost of the spray (no one offerred even that!). Another roach appeared the second day in the hallway and we continued to find ants everywhere. The couch with the hide-a-bed was in nice shape externally, but please don't rent advertizing- sleeps six when the hide-a- bed is in such sad shape you need to pull out of the closet a foam rubber pad to put over the mattress to make it somewhat habitable. Your advertizment should state: two queen size beds, a couch and that the property sleeps four comfortably. Also, there should be a warning to watch for mice/rats on the floor leaving nothing there overnight! Ok, all in all for the money, this place was way too expensive a stay for dealing with ants, roaches and mice/rats (there is the Hunta Virus you know). Please note, the place needs to be fumigated and for the price do get a new mattress for the hide-a-bed! Well, so much for our 55th wedding annversary trip! Now you know why a two star. Never again.

We enjoyed the setting very much. For the expensive rates paid, we expected to be able to use glassware and matching dishes for more than one sitting. Some of the silverware was not clean and there were only 2 small kitchen towels for a 4 day stay at the condo, with 5 people. The couple using the second bedroom, had the sliding closet door fall on one of them, when they were trying to the close it. We were disappointed that the mini blinds in the master bedroom could not be adjusted, because they were broken. We enjoyed going into town and using the golf cart for sightseeing and shopping. Sincerely, Dora N

We stayed here with another couple for a few days after a convention in Long Beach. Wish we could have stayed longer. Such a relaxing place to have cocktail hour on the patio. Pool, hot tub, mini golf, croquet all close to this villa in building #1. Golf cart was helpful to get to town and explore Avalon. It's located in the middle of the building, 7 flights down, 9 flights up, but felt private on the corner. Great ocean breeze and waves lulled us to sleep. Would love to stay here again.
