We rented 13-44 for 5 days, what a beautiful place. Golf cart comes with rental. Woke every morning to ocean view and sunrise. 2 sided balcony. Very quiet, calm place to relax but also has a lot of amenities. This unit had every thing we needed. Shopped at Von's for groceries. Gated complex with guard. Used the hot tub, it's... More

The Good: The golf cart was nice. The 3-4 minute drive was a nice little ride to Avalon. The ocean views were really beautiful from the unit and balcony. The pool and spa were great but had to hop on the golf cart to drive there. Kids enjoyed the playground area and the private beach was nice. There was a... More

My family and I come to Catalina every Easter this year we stayed in rooms 238 and 417. Room 238 was nice enough but the dishwasher is rusted needs some repair. It was clean and near the top of the stairs which was nice. My main complaint here the terrible customer service we received by the "manager." As soon as... More

This year, turkey week will be 11 years, we yearn for this one week of complete quiet. When we come home we can hear the freeway(two miles away)...It is so quiet in Hamilton cove but it take a few days to slow down and listen...We are so happy for this week, we recommend this spot to anyone who works hard...

So peaceful...and there seems to be plenty of great options for a condo. the rental company provides a... More

My boyfriend rented 3 condos in Hamilton Cove through Hamilton Cove Real Estate, the properties were beautiful and we have no complaints about them. But if you go through Hamilton Cove Real Estate please expect the following.... You will pay a $100 cleaning fee, to me this means they plan on cleaning the property. Upon check out you are instructed... More

We rented Unit 17-85 and were very pleased with this unit. The views from the wrap-around balcony were spectacular . . . lots of windows in the living and... More
