Spectacular view! Great location. Peaceful and relaxing.
Cons:
1) Dripping water valve on patio made two puddles that were constantly wet. Dangerous because it is slippery.
2) Heavy smoking neighbors to the right of balcony
3) Giant magnolia tree attracted lots of bees and wasps.
My friend is allergic to bees. She would move quickly indoors trying not to slip on the wet puddles on the floor from the leaking water outlet in patio. Although the view on the balcony was spectacular, we decided to stay inside during out trip there.
Overall we still had a good time.
The villa has great upside and some drawbacks. The views from the unit were very good, and the space inside was very comfortable and welcoming. The negatives made the unit disappointing overall. There is an ant problem in the kitchen. The TV in the living room would sometimes show no picture and have no sound until turned off and then back on. The golf cart was criminal: no suspension, road visibility was made terrible by the hazy old windshield and canvas siding would flap like crazy. Rolling the sides up was dangerous too as they would fall down after a couple road bumps. The cart is older and would benefit from a replacement. Bottom line: my family will visit Catalina again and stay in another villa.
Beautiful and spacious condo. Extremely clean! Would not find a better view anywhere! Incredible views from every room. Wake up to the beautiful sunrise from the master bed every morning. Very quiet and serene. Kitchen was well equipped. Golf cart came in handy! Five stars ~ most definitely!
While the area is fantastic the condo was smaller than we thought (pictures aren't very accurate).... we had ants the entire time we were there and the solution was for us to spray them - not a healthy way to mitigate the issue... there was also a lack of staples in the unit that we had to purchase.... (toilet paper, kleenex, laundry soap, etc...) for the going rate we assumed these would be supplied... disappointing for the price we paid!
This condo was amazing. So clean, beautifully decorated, and an expansive view of the ocean from every room. Many times I just sat on the sofa for hours and watched the ocean change and the storms roll in. Magical. Everything I needed was here as well. Highly recommended. I couldnât have enjoyed my stay more.
We love Hamilton Cove, and have previously stayed in this great unit ~
I need to let you know that the fold out air mattress leaks ~
As well as the kitchen sink ~
A bit of laundry detergent would have been most appreciated as well.
If we were to rent this unit again I would need assurance that the mattress has been replaced or repaired ~
Best, Susan ~
Great setting, view, and and activities, luxury not so much
Very fun to be on Catalina Island - nice people everywhere, great hiking, beautiful views, and it was quite fun (and necessary!) to have a golf cart to use to get back and forth to town. Not as fun? After thinking we had a paucity of utensils and plates in the condo, the office suggested we look in the dishwasher, where we found an entire load of filthy dishes (think smelly caked on eggs and pancake batter plus chunks of ground beef!). We never did have any small size spoons, and the dishes are chipped, several pans too old and bent to work on the convection oven, and yes, they did bring an oven mitt to replace the one that was here that was somehow also coated with old food. Sheets were rough, the lamp by the bed did not work, the armoire in the bedroom creaks loudly enough to wake people (and we tried a lot of things to get this to stop -and we are light weight humans), and the wifi, which we had to reset several times, finally fizzled out completely. Staff did tried to help, though they did not call in response to the note we left on the app they asked us to install, and there was clearly no communication from the on-call person on the night we arrived to the day propel the next day. An apology for the dishes was lukewarm (she initially said "I think the prior guests were in a hurry"). Stay at Hamilton Cove but skip this condo! We did get a $150 credit, which was 10% of our stay.
