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: House details provided by the host were *perfect*, we had some minor technical difficulties but the hosts were immediately available and responsive to our ‘newbie’ questions. The entire experience from booking to departure made our stay (and first time) on Catalina Island amazing. The views were just breathtaking; the stay was even more relaxing because of the rainy day (loved it!). The only negative (which is a positive, since we truly intended to get away and use the opportunity to explore) was no internet and virtually no cell phone coverage in the villas. Be prepared for a lot of stairs. l would definitely go back.

Public review: What a beautiful setting & home. This was our first (but not last) trip to Catalina & I can't imagine staying anywhere without this gorgeous view. The Big Blue is exactly as pictured and very comfortable. After we checked in (easiest process ever- the local cab drivers & guards at the gate know the routine), I took the golf cart back to the grocery store & loaded up for our 4 night stay. We'd planned to have breakfast out, but were thrilled to find that we could watch sunrise from the balcony! So, we ended up having coffee & breakfast out in the sun instead. The unit is high enough for an amazing, sweeping view but you can also hear the ocean. The unit is very quiet; it seems as tho the neighbors above & below may be full time residents, so are careful & respectful about making noise. The bedroom window opens onto the main stairway, but I don't think a single person walked by while we were there to notice. Granted, it was a quiet week, but I suspect it is never a "high traffic" walkway. The balcony is also (technically) adjacent to the next door neighbor, but is set up to be completely private. People had furniture, planters, etc. separating the spaces & it is clear that no one walks onto someone else's patio. We had a couple of minor maintenance issues come up & I texted Jannessa around 7p one evening. Within a few minutes, she responded that someone would be by to check things out & by 8p, they were! Problems do happen, so I give more weight to how they get resolved. A++ in this case. There are 2 caveats: first- the stairs. The unit is about 3.5 stories down. It was a little hard on my mildly arthritic knee. But if you are reasonably fit & can do stairs, it isn't a problem. Just don't buy heavy cases of bottled water or pack a bowling ball. The other caveat is that the stairwell outside the bedroom window is very well lit & there are no black-out shades in that window. We threw beach towels over them to block the light. Unless you have mobility/knee issues, this is a most excellent place to enjoy a most excellent vacation. Thank you to Jannessa & Helmut!

Public review: The location is so great and having a golf cart makes everything accessible. The terrace looking over the ocean with the lovely lounge chairs is perfect. We also really enjoyed the grill and kitchen so we could relax as a family and still feel like we are at the beach! Thanks so much!

Public review: Completely rediscovered Catalina via The Big Blue. What a dreamy weekend. The location was heavenly - the view breathtaking - it was a privilege to have a chance to stay here. Jennessa and Helmut were hospitable in every regard. The use of the golf cart was the icing on the cake - at the end of the day, indispensable. Do note that there is no cell phone reception so map your trip before you cab it to Hamilton Cove.

Public review: This place is absolutely superb!! We couldn't have been more comfortable there. The view is breathtaking. We all enjoyed sitting out on the porch, watching the boats come in and the seagulls fly around. To have a view of this magnitude is rare, and we soaked up every minute of it. This particular unit has an extra nook and my daughter was able to sleep very comfortable in it. Very convenient for a third party to use. I cook a fair amount and was able to use the kitchen with ease for both breakfast and dinner. The gym and pool were wonderful. Pool was not lap sized but you could still use it for a workout if you wanted. Gym is small but has 2 treadmills, 1 elliptical, 1 recumbent bike and 1 regular bike plus free weights, yoga ball and 2 separate weight stations. I used everything in the gym for 2 complete workouts during our 3 night stay. Avalon is a quick 10 minute drive via golf cart. We visited often, enjoying the shops and the wonderful ice cream at Olaf's. It was great to be able to experience the town and then sneak away for some down time in the condo. Jenessa & Helmut were easily accessible if we had questions, but they did a great job laying it all out so we didn't have much to ask. Highly recommend this place - it was wonderful!

Public review: Communication with Jannessa before our trip was great. The house was even more beautiful than described. Location was outstanding and the use of the golf cart and the smart TV was awesome. Highly recommend this unit.

Public review: The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. Their place is beautiful and in a friendly community. It's impossible to capture the beauty of the views. The golf cart was a wonderful amenity and allowed us to find fun and relaxation all over Avalon. Overall, this trip was the perfect getaway. Can't wait to go back!
