The space
We are pleased to offer a Mediterranean style vacation villa on Catalina Island at the prestigious Hamilton Cove Luxury Resort. The villa is in the most desirable location: a true end unit, not sandwiched between other units, with nature to the north and only one neighboring unit to the south. You have ocean and nature views, and a fireplace for cozy evenings overlooking the ocean. Newly installed bamboo flooring adds an island touch of luxury, along with a designer couch that folds out into a very comfortable queen size bed and a designer leather chair with ottoman. The villa offers spacious, airy indoor-outdoor living, with three sets of double doors opening onto a gorgeous balcony with breathtaking views. Most one-bedroom units don’t have the extra office/den with its additional set of double doors.

The resort features 2 tennis courts, a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gym, volleyball court and croquet court.

Please note: due to allergies we cannot accept pets or service animals in our home, thank you. Hamilton Cove HOA also does not allow any pets or animals to be brought to Hamilton Cove.

Other things to note
Some guests are not familiar with the type of door lock at the condo. To open the door, insert the key and turn it counterclockwise until the door opens. To enable the thumb handle, open the door and press the button on the side of the door, just below the latch. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Public review: The Big Blue house is even more gorgeous in person than in the pictures. The view is invaluable and the inside is perfect for accommodating whatever needs you may have during the stay. The golf cart was great to use to get around the island. It was a fantastic experience overall, cannot wait to stay here again! Private feedback: I absolutely loved my stay at The Big Blue, thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us!! The only negative thing is we were only able to open the door once, the other times the front door wouldn't open and we had to go to the balcony to open it from the back doors. At night, it was hard to see so I actually ended up tripping and spraining my ankle. Besides that, the place was great.

Public review: The Big Blue at Hamilton Cove is like the jewel of Catalina. Great location, amazing views, comfortable place to sleep and convenient golf cart to get around. This wasn't our first time in Catalina, but one of our most enjoyable visits. Thank you!

Public review: My wife, daughter and I enjoyed our time in Avalon and it was mostly due to the space and location of Helmut's place. Definitely the nicest area of the island and the golf cart - which we all LOVED - was the very 1st spot next to the stairs which made things even more convenient. Only thing we were not happy with was the price and quality of the food but we don't hold that against our host. Hope to come hear again some day.

Public review: We had a fabulous stay here at "Big Blue", and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it or stay again! The photos and description are accurate, in fact we found that our experience exceeded our expectations. Even the stairs weren't as hard as we'd imagined, and we were so grateful for the use of the unit's golf cart to get around town. There were three of us in our group, and we were comfortable sharing this lovely space and extra large bathroom area (the couch in the living area and the love seat in the "den" are both fold out options for sleeping). The kitchen is very well stocked with all the hard goods needed for cooking, and we had more than enough towels, bedding, pillows and blankets for all of us. Highly recommend sleeping with all the balcony doors wide open to enjoy gentle warm breezes and the sounds of the ocean rolling into the beach below.

Public review: Helmut responded quickly to our reservation request and answered any questions I had. The condo is in the first building when arriving in Hamilton Cove and is 66 steps down and another about 130 from the condo to the pool, so not good for anyone who may have an issue with that. It is a 1 bedroom with a comfortable king bed and has an alcove ("den") area that has a futon couch which made into a full size bed. Couch in livingroom also pulls out. The futon was comfortable but low to the ground, great for kids but still worked well for 1 adult. Small bbq which we did not use so cannot attest to how well it worked. Kitchen seemed to be well stocked with cooking equipment. We had a wonderful time, and loved the view and how nicely appointed and clean the unit was. Felt like we were in the mediterranean. I would highly recommend this unit and hope we can return in the future. Private feedback: We really enjoyed our stay at your Hamilton Cove condo. It was very comfortable, and the view was awesome! We even managed the 66 stairs!! Golf Cart worked great & got us to/from town with no issues, although I think it may have 1 headlight out (we actually forgot to check it when we parked), and tires are going bald. The couch futon in den area was also comfortable. Plenty of towels provided and condo was very clean. Thank you and hope to book again in the future! (only 2 small suggestions- tiles in shower very slippery (love the pepple stones on floor in bathroom, would be great in shower & less slippery) and the refrig door opens the wrong way. But nothing that takes away from how great the place is.

Public review: Highly recommended space for two. Quiet, clean, affordable and serene. It had every amenity of home. The golf cart was great for going into town for shopping and sight seeing. Avalon is so quaint and peaceful. The condo is privately guarded and the pool, gym and private beach made for a great vacation. We will be Back! Private feedback: This is the perfect getaway for two people. My husband and I left our 5 kids home for a quiet getaway. Helmut was beyond accommodating and his place is exquisite. Beautiful space, clean, private and quiet. Highly recommend.
