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.

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.

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.

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.

Too many stairs this is definitely a workout to get to the unit. Children screaming from the pool area. I really wanted to enjoy the jacuzzi but looking for relaxation time not kids being loud. The unit itself had nice view. And overall really nice. Too many details before checking in i was overwhelmed.

Beautiful Home/Perfect Location

We spent two days at Catalina for my daughter’s birthday. The condo was beautiful and had plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable. I don’t recall seeing anything in the description that getting to and front the unit requires a lot of stair climbing so I was happy that we didn’t bring the grandparents because it certainly would have been an issue with no elevator. Other than that, we will book two nights rather than one next time so we can really enjoy the property and not have to worry about checking out and getting to the boat on time. Thanks for opening your home so we could make wonderful memories.

Great Place but needs some updates.

Overall the condo is nice however the floor in bathroom is rotted and shower door doesn’t close well. The worst thing though is the golf cart which is so old and beat up. Most of the plastic sides when rolled up don’t stay or don’t have a clip to help stay. Also tailgate is stuck down. Definitely not like the photo at all.

Needs lots of TLC

The view from the property was beautiful... with a few obvious improvements, the condo could be beautiful also. But, unfortunately it was in drastic need of repair. The bathtub faucet handle fell off in my hand when I went to turn on the water, the power went out on SEVERAL occasions, the bathroom floor outside the shower was rotted from water damage, the kitchen faucet shot water upwards toward the cabinetry, the front door was hard to lock, one of the patio doors was almost impossible to lock, and the golf cart has seen better days. Additionally, compared to other vrbo properties we have stayed in, it was not very well equipped. (i.e., coffee, spices, laundry detergent, etc.).

Heavenly!

This place makes you feel like you’re in another world. I mean being in Catalina makes you feel so far removed from LA and Orange County, but this little enclave just minutes from Avalon proper makes you feel like you’re on your own little island! Our place came with a golf cart to get around town and it has every amenity. Beautifully decorated with a wonderful island “beach” feel. We went to town on the golf cart and bought groceries at the local Vons (which is surprisingly very well stocked!!) and cooked dinner and breakfast and then carted back to town other days to eat in town. Some of the best times were eating and drinking on the balcony overlooking the Pacific and seeing LA and Orange County lights in the distance while listening to our favorite music! Super nice people all around! This place is the BEST!

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.

Catalina Mermaid House

Beautiful location. The house has everything you might need in the kitchen. It is due for some updating like flooring and living room couch but it is very comfortable and the beds slept like clouds. There were heaters that could be moved to warm the space because the thermostats didn't seem to work. This property is on the third floor so there are many steps, (like 50), to climb and there is no elevator. There are two bathrooms but one only has a tub that is quite low and deep so be aware if there are older guests. The shower door in the second bathroom didn't close tightly and there were a couple of other minor needed changes that I made the owner aware of. Golf cart is included at the site, which is a real plus. Taxi fare was $25.00 from the ferry to the location. We had a lovely visit! We were there in the winter, but I know it is great in the spring/summer. The host was extremely accommodating. We ran into really bad weather and she was open to work with us if we had to stay longer.

Needs a Handyman

First the good: clean spacious unit, great view, superior bed, easy to use TV, well equipped kitchen. The bad--this unit badly needs a handyman to spend a few hours fixing the many annoying issues. Front door doesn't lock. Second bath TP dispenser falls off the wall, shower door doesn't latch. Toilet runs. Bathtub handles come right off in your hands. Oven knobs come off in your hands. Jury rigged secondary lights under the cabinet. Kitchen drawers don't slide open easily. Golf cart is worn out--a rattle trap with one bald tire and the gas guage doesn't work. The manager of this unit really should hire someone to fix this otherwise great unit.

Great property at a great location. And hey provide a golf cart for us to move about the island while we are there. The only issue, and one mentioned by a lot of reviewers, so we were aware when we booked, is property maintenance. Fixtures like the toilet paper holder in one of the restrooms are broken and just balanced as if they are ok.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny Blaylock

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.
