Lovely stay in Hamilton Cove, the beach and pool/spa were fantastic and very well kept. Hosts recommendations for local spots in the binder are spot on and highly recommended to follow.
My family loved the home! Although, we didnt have hot water for showers, which was a bummer, but it might have to do with the water restrictions the island is on.
The condo had a great view! Need a taxi to get to the property, it is a good walk. Master Bedroom only had bath, no shower. There are steps to get into the living room, Kitchen and Master bedroom
The pictures do not do this unit justice. The unit itself is much larger than it appears. There was plenty of space to find a quiet spot or gather as a group. The French doors open up to breathtaking views of the property and ocean. I feels like youâre on Santorini.There are so many amenities that this property offers from croquet, golf, swimming pool, jacuzzi and fitness room. The location is amazing. You are tucked away in what feels like a more exclusive part of the island, because it is in a gated community with on site security. I canât imagine staying anywhere else on Catalina.
The location of this Condo is perfect, close to beach, close to pool and views just canât be beat. This is a corner Condo so you get a bit more privacy and extra views. Hamilton Cove itself is quiet and very well kept⊠a little piece of heaven.
It is hard to leave the balcony of this unit because the view is so awesome. I sent friends photos and they kept asking when did you go to Greece. Mid-January is a great time to visit the island if you like no crowds in town. However, many restaurants were closed because if the off-season. The condo was very nicely decorated and well-maintained. Having 2 bedrooms face the ocean was a nice surprise! There are about 72 stairs to this unit so pack light and get ready to get your steps in.
The condo had several things that were minor but added up.It is a bit dated and does not seem to have the attention to detail. That being said it is a perfect location and views were amazing. BEDS were fabulous.
Communication with host was easy , the place is beautifully decorated with mermaid and sea decor .
There was a coffee pot there as well just need to bring your own coffee.
Everything worked fine during our stay and beds were really comfortable.
Canât wait to return !
Great location away from the hustle and bustle of tourists. Spectacular view and unit was clean and tidy.
Appreciated the use of the golf cart so we were able to explore the island.
Do not recommend bringing more then a carry on sized bag/suitcase as there are many exterior stairs to climb before accessing the unit and if you have any physical limitations that may impede climbing many flights of stairs you may want to consider another lodging option.
Overall, our stay was quite, relaxing and comfortable and we look forward to going back again soon.
This is our second year renti g this condo. We love the big living room and the dining room table. Some of our family members have mobility issues so we also rented another condo with fewer step.

Everything about the unit was wonderful. The only negative is that the bathroom could use some updating. The cleaning staff was friendly and the 6 seater golf cart worked great!
I would definitely stay there again!
Hamilton Cove is the perfect location for relaxation as well as exercise and adventure. Loved the stairs all around, the climb multiple times a day keeps the legs, rear end and heart happy and healthy. The views are fabulous!
We loved being in Catalina again!!
We enjoyed town and a wonderful Tile Class
Our accommodations were a mixed bag.. lovely view and location very peaceful.. vrbo needs to spend serious time fixing many broken and icky things.. toilet and shower were pretty gross rotted floors electrical problems difficult to get key in front door and open.. needs major maintenance throughout!!! Property manager very nice
What a beautiful place to stay. It was an internal fight of whether to stay and enjoy the beautiful views, or explore the island. You also get some stair aerobics heading up to the apartment. The only small issue, if you're directionally challenged, a.k.a short, you'll have a hard time with the lock box on the door. We had a beautiful stay and hope to visit again, soon.
This stunning home is managed by Simplicity Vacation Property Management, but the owners love to come to Catalina Island and partake in the island activities such as snorkeling, zip lining, hiking, etc. BUT they also love to eat! Catalina has some of the best food - be sure to try Big Olaf's ice cream and the Cheese Bread! Enjoy!
This unit has been completely remolded and all the furnishings have been purchased very carefully for this home....it shows like a designer model. The home is very open and comfortable...the way a vacation home should feel. Because it is 1275 square feet, unlike most other two bedrooms that are below 1000 square feet, you have room to unwind when staying with a family.
While staying in Hamilton Cove many guests love to snorkel off our private beach as a family. Father and son can play basketball while Mother and daughter enjoy the play ground or look for sea glass at the beach. Please enjoy the pool and spa and mini golfing as a family. Also, feel free to take advantage of the work-out facilities or just relax on the patio while enjoying the spectacular view. If you want to leave, this unit comes with a really nice golf cart that will take you anywhere you need to go on the island.
