Great Views!

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 best of Catalina

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 you’re 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 can’t imagine staying anywhere else on Catalina.

Can’t beat the views

The location of this Condo is perfect, close to beach, close to pool and views just can’t 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.

Los Angeles to Greece In Under 2 Hours

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.

Beautiful View, Clean, Quite, Relaxing

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.

Spain away from Spain

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.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Blaylock

Host profile image
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!

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

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.
