December Special: 2bd Villa overlooking the ocean+golf cart!

Below you will find details about our 2 bed/ 2 bath home, Hamilton Cove 11-52, located in Avalon on Catalina!

Leave all the hustle and bustle behind and return to a slower pace of life, the island life. Our Hamilton Cove 11-52 condo is located in the exclusive, gated Hamilton Cove community. It's tucked away in a cove next to the main town of Avalon. You'll enjoy palm trees and an expansive view of the Pacific Ocean from the living space, bedroom and deck of our condo. At the horizon, you can see Los Angeles and in the foreground is a private beach. The community recreation center of Hamilton Cove has a pool, hot tub and fitness center for guests to use. The community also offers a playground, sand volleyball court, 18-hole putting green, tennis courts, croquet lawn, basketball hoop and picnic area for your enjoyment.

Enter the front door of your vacation home and feel the sea breeze. The open floor plan allows you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean all day long. The living room has a 50 inch flat screen TV and a priceless ocean view. There is dining seating for 5. The kitchen has everything you need for eating in with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. The balcony is a delightful spot to have breakfast and watch the sunrise. Spend your evenings grilling dinner on the Weber BBQ provided for you on the balcony. And while the sun sets on the other side of the island, it is still incredible to enjoy the beauty of dusk.

About 22 miles south-southwest of Los Angeles, Catalina Island is the southernmost island of California's Channel Islands. The Island is made up of two towns, the incorporated city of Avalon on the east end, and the unincorporated village Two Harbors on the west end. The island is just 22 miles long and 8 miles across. Outside of the two towns is a rugged wilderness of majestic beauty under the stewardship of the Catalina Island Conservancy. You can take a passenger ferry from Newport Beach, Dana Point, Long Beach or San Pedro.

Last Minute Booking Policy:
If a guest books with us directly or on VRBO, within 72 hours of arrival, verification credentials are required. By making a payment on the reservation, the guest agrees to comply with our last minute booking policy.

To properly vet a guest with such short notice requires the following; a “selfie” photo specifically of the booking guest's face and holding either a Driver's 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.

Pet Policy: Pets are NOT permitted.

Rate Policy: Prices change on a daily basis so the rates you see today may be higher or lower when booking!

Age Policy: We do not typically rent to guests under the age of 25 or large parties. Please contact us prior to booking to see how we may accommodate your group.
