The island is divided into two main towns: Avalon, where Hamilton Cove is located, and Two Harbors. Avalon offers quaint shops, restaurants, and local attractions, while the surrounding wilderness offers hiking, biking, and nature walks under the stewardship of the Catalina Island Conservancy. Whether youâre taking a ferry from Newport Beach, Dana Point, Long Beach, or San Pedro, youâll find plenty of opportunities to explore the islandâs natural beauty. The private beach in Hamilton Cove is just steps away, providing a perfect spot for relaxing or enjoying the ocean breeze.

To properly vet a guest with such short notice requires the following; a âselfieâ photo specifically of the booking guestâs face and holding either a Driverâs License, Passport or State ID photo under their chin. We are just looking for a name to match and the photo on the ID to match that of the person in the selfie. This can be sent by email or text to our company email address. Additionally, we need to confirm guest details such as payment, contact information, applicable check-in time, number of guests and ages, any pets, etc.
This process is required, and if a guest refuses to comply then the reservation will be canceled. We have found this procedure to be successful in avoiding fraud, and protecting all parties! We appreciate your cooperation and we are available to help with any questions.

After booking:
We manage properties on behalf of our owners. Upon confirming your booking, we will send you a rental agreement for your upcoming stay which you will need to complete.
