H962: Great Ocean Views, Golf Cart + Only 10 Steps + King Bed + Fireplace

My wife and I enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying here again. I would highly recommend others to visit

The property is in a very beautiful place, the vila was built in the 80’s so it is a little outdated but the ocean view compensates for everything else. The major issue that the property management who started screaming when we left that we should have left the property after we check out from the room at 10 am. Really bad attitude.

There was a planned power outage by the power company. We awoke to no power or water. It was the day we had planned to enjoy the amenities of the complex. We couldn't take a shower, we couldn't go to the bathroom, we couldn't watch TV, we couldn't power our phones... we had to for to town to a public bathroom!! To make matters worse, it still wasn't useable when we wanted to get dressed for dinner!! This was our hioneymoon night!!!

Poor communication with the property management company. They don’t seem to care about returning guests to Hamilton Cove. They set our trip off on a bad note. Aside the property management company, the unit itself is old, has very basic features. The two TV’s didn’t work which was fine only because we had WiFi and kids could use parents phones for movies at night. The bedroom with the king bed was something out of a motel 6 room. It was nasty, sheets were very itchy, blankets smelled and felt dirty, and the bed mattress was beyond soft. I felt like it was going to swallow me whole. The front door would lock anytime you shut it so don’t leave without a key. The golf cart wasn’t full when we arrived. I said something to the property management people, but they went silent on me. I left it fuller than how it was given to me when we checked out. Not to mention, the left mirror was missing making driving a safety issue.The unit only provides bathing/shower towels so make sure you bring beach towels. If you want to clean clothes or just rewash the blankets and sheets they offer while there, bring your own. The unit doesn’t offer any. Of all the units I’ve stayed at in Hamilton Cove this is one of the worst.

Gorgeous location, and villa. Only downsides were an alarm that beeped every 11 seconds for about 36 hours in the community, and a lot of ants in the apartment. Tub was wonderful, as was golf cart. 23 taxi each way from the port as of August 2025.

Fantastic location. Clear water beach along with tennis courts and lawns for outdoor activities. The golf cart is a great addition to the rental. Customer service was readily available and helpful. Great place to stay while visiting Santa Catalina Island!

We loved this space and hope to visit again soon. Beautiful views, spacious condo, everything you’ll need.

The view from the property is great. When the taxi company took us to the property the first day, they dropped us at the wrong building, so it would be nice to have a propety map link, with the checkin process. Othewise it was great.

Great stay

The Hamilton Cove community is a nice place to stay and the location of this unit was good. You'll need a golf cart to get around and this unit came with a newer gas powered golf cart which was nice. We were 2 adults and you could fit up to 4 people in this unit, but it would be a bit tight. When we arrived, the unit seemed mostly clean, but then we discovered ants and other bugs near the empty trash can. Also found ants on the bathroom counter, inside the cupboard with the cooking ware, and even in the cabinet with extra bed sheets. When we contacted the property manager, rather than offering to clean it for us, they just dropped off bug spray so that we could deal with it ourselves. The furniture in this unit is a bit dated and there were other signs that it could really use a deep cleaning. I wouldn't book this unit again, but I would stay in a different unit in the area.

Gorgeous ocean views from two balconies. Spacious one bedroom in a beautiful gated resort. Includes golf cart that is a real plus for getting around the island.

Unit is so run down it was uncomfortable as soon as we walked in. So many Things were broken with so many rules stating if you break it you pay. Old everything. Scary !! Golf cart was dangerous!! Thank God for Catalina Vacations moving us to a beautiful unit new golf cart. What the hell did you guys do? But represent a bad unit ! Shame on you.

Our time in Catalina was incredible and these condos are in an unbelievable location. It’s a beautiful property with amazing ocean views. But this particular condo needs some attention. I would say just about everything needs to be updated including the golf cart which broke down while we were there.
