H242: Modern 1BD Villa, Fantastic Ocean View, Fireplace, Golf Cart

We enjoyed a great view of the water and morning sunrise was amazing! Clean and perfect getaway!

The good The view is breathtaking and we really enjoyed the balcony. The meh: The tall outdoor chairs could have been more comfortable. The stove needs updating. The microwave is missing a panel in the inside. There were cobwebs in several places and at least 6 spiders. Not much use of the closet. About 1/4 at best. There are lots of stairs getting to the unit. The golf cart has definitely seen better days and it was hard to outrun the fumes.

Beautiful villa with a beautiful view, activities for kids, but quiet and relaxing for adults, wonderful and helpful staff, we will be back!

This villa has excellent views of Hampton Cove!!! It is a gated entrance, which gives you a secluded feel, yet the golf cart is right there if you want to go into Avalon for restaurants and shopping. Perfect for a relaxing or romantic get away!

Property itself was really nice. The view to the ocean is priceless. The ply thing I would change is having the property owners update the TVs, as well as the bedding. The tvs were only and bedding was not what I expecting was very worn.

Nice

This is an older unit in Hamilton Cove with an amazing view of the cliffside and channel waters below especially at sunrise. It's a 1B/1B with a comfortable living room. Our reservation was for 4 knowing that our kids would have to use the pullout couch.We were disappointed to discover hair, food, debris and stains under the cushions on the mattress, and in the area underneath the pullout coach. It was clear it hadn't been cleaned in some time, and we ultimately decided not to use it. Other issues include the kitchen sink backing up when running the disposal and brownish chunky water flooding out of the drain. Lastly, the listing for this unit touts really nice amenities like tennis courts and a 18 hole putting course, but we were disappointed to learn clubs, rackets, and balls were not included or available anywhere on the property. Bring your own!In the end, we still enjoyed our stay albeit not as comfortable as we had anticipated. And it was really convenient and enjoyable to have the golf cart included for us to drive around the island during our stay.

We did not use the pool, but it looked very nice. Property is very nice, shared balcony was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Home decore was lovely. View was fantastic. Golf cart was great.

Beautiful view, but several issues impacted our stayWe stayed during the off-peak winter season. The view was truly beautiful and the area was very quiet, but the condo had several issues that affected our comfort. There is no central heat, and we were not informed about space heaters (we found them on our own after the first freezing cold night). Cleanliness was also a concern on arrival, including hair in the bathroom, a urine odor near the toilet, and stained blankets with what looked like body fluids, making our first night especially cold. The management company did respond the next morning and sent cleaners, which we appreciated.Additional issues included mold in the washing machine seal, very poor-quality cookware (the food stuck when cooking and ever pan had stuck on food before we used it), a lukewarm hot tub, and confusion with the golf cart instructions. The second cart we were directed to filled with exhaust fumes when fully enclosed with the provided enclosure. We had to open it up to not breath all the exhaust which defeated its purpose.Important information not disclosed prior to booking was a strict 9:00 PM noise curfew, including no balcony use, with a 100 fine for violations.Positives: stunning view, quiet location, and helpful access to a golf cart.Overall, we would return to Catalina Island during peak season but would not book another property managed by this company.

The view and ambience were spectacular! Could not be better! We appreciated the grill on the patio and made the choice to buy groceries and eat here at the condo for all of our dinners. We sat on the balcony and overlooked the ocean. Such a romantic getaway for our 45th anniversary!

Lovely location. There is no air conditioner in the units and inadequate ceiling fans. Most evenings were hot and we couldn’t leave the doors open to let in ocean air because there aren’t any screens. The views are enchanting. Overall nice stay.

Everything was great. The only minor thing was the windshield on the golf cart, it’s hard to see out due to the “film” on it. It would be easier if you could lower the top portion and also get the wind flowing more. Again, a minor thing. The condo and view was fantastic.

Great stay at hamilton cove.

Unfortunately, CVR, who is the island property management group. Their performance was very disappointing. Therefore, I had to rely on VRBO to take over. CIVR also shut the door of any communication because of my displeasure with how we were being treated. Communication was lack lesser to say the least by CIVR. They were very blunt by saying that I was to be conversing with VRBO over their participation by taking care of this property. When leaving the property, I was contacted by one of the cleaning people who asked if my husband and I were the new owners of this condo. We were a little bit confused because we were assuming it was the same owners. We were informed that the property had been sold and that there were new owners. We love staying at this condo, but would like to give a buyer beware to the owners of this property management for this condo that they probably need to reconsider using this local property management team.

Very impressed.

Fantastic!

We have no complaints about the condo only that there is some maintenance that needs to be done on the golf cart. It backfires a lot. Headlights and the headlight needs to be adjusted because it’s not facing forward. Windshield needs to be replaced as well because it is very difficult to look out And see oncoming traffic. The dishwasher is very loud and at the end of the day it never really cleaned the dishes. Housekeeping issues nothing major except for the golf cart does need to have maintenance to be done. We shocked many people going down the road, including us. Also the windshield is a real hazard. We plan on coming back, and enjoyed our stay immensely.

Being our 2nd visit (1st trip was a quick intro to the island and booked a hotel) my wife, family & myself were so impressed with Hamilton Cove via VRBO! If ever we return, there's no question that we will book Hamitton Cove again ! !
