Are you ready to step into an island paradise located in Los Angeles county? If so, whether you arrive by air or sea, be prepared to enjoy what has been called “The most charming island get-away in all of North America.”
Mike, the Buffalo overlooks this enchanting home completely renovated to capture the “island vibe.” This home is a spacious 1275 square foot treasure with stunning 180-degree direct ocean views. In the day, you can watch the dolphins, seals, birds and boats while the evening brings the unapparelled view of the southern California coast alit from twenty-three miles across the pacific. Inside the home, vaulted ceilings and open floor plan offer an expansive living space with Ocean Views from three sets of French patio doors. Relax on the 150-inch Sectional Sofa while selecting one of 10,000 movies on hand from Netflix on the massive 65-inch Plasma TV. Read a book from our 'All Things Catalina' library, stream your own music or play what is provided through the blue tooth enabled stereo system. Many choose to BBQ or cook with the ocean breeze while enjoying the professionally decorated unit which incorporates brand top shelf furnishings with rare, antique and indigenous items such as original Catalina Pottery and tiled table.
We have taken great strides to make the home comfortable and hope you enjoy the 500-thread count bedding and designer towels. Stainless steel appliances accompany fine Marble and updated faucets and lighting fixtures throughout the kitchen and both bathrooms. Enjoy the blue Pacific from the game room which is equipped with a table and full selection of board games as well as a Queen bed. Furnishings and bar-b-que sit under tiled deck on the patio. Washer and Dryer are located inside the unit. This home along with unit next door unit take up the entire top of building four so you can rent both units for extended family and friends. In exchange for steps up to building four, these units both have elevated vaulted ceilings and amazing sprawling ocean views making the walk up well worth it! Please reference VRBO ID 497962 to view the neighboring unit.
This home is located in exclusive Hamilton Cove which boasts of a beach area, tennis, croquette, putting and tennis courts. Yet, if you are visiting Catalina, we recommend you get take our superior 2015 Yamaha Limo Cart into town and explore. You will be just minutes from the Descanso Beach Club where you can rent a Cabana or simply enjoy this fully wonderful beach club which offers beach lounge chairs as well as a bar and food. Many folks will hit the beach club after an exciting zip line experience or to simply enjoy an afternoon. We could go on and on about Catalina Island, but we think the Chamber of Commerce said it best in describing our beloved Island, “Catalina Island is a picture-perfect paradise and a world apart from the hustle and bustle of the mainland just 22 miles away. The air is refreshing, the water is clear, the community is casual and friendly, and there’s not one traffic light on the whole Island. From the city of Avalon to the rustic village of Two Harbors, experience the Island for yourself - explore the rugged back country where the buffalo roam, enjoy the most stylish in dining experiences, conquer the rush of thrilling adventures, and relax on the sand with the gentle rhythm of the ocean. When you’re on Island Time, you’re always having the time of your life.”

Generally good
There were a few things wrong. The dishwasher is not bolted to the cabinet so we had to be extremely carefully using it. Additionally, the furniture was stained and needed some attention. The place is well-stocked and well located. This is our second stay at Hamilton Cove. The first time the place was smaller, but everything was in order.

Beautiful Hamilton stay with a climb
Over all it is such a beautiful and relaxing home. However I wish there was a point made about how small the washer and dryer loads have to be. Also I was there for scuba with my husband and we have our own BCD's, tanks and all wet suit gear along with our luggage so hauling it all up and down the stairs ******. Good thing we are both very fit. I also find the beds to be extremely soft and dented in in the the areas where people sleep. They need to be updated. Also 2 of the three bathroom sinks do not drain well at all. And lastly if you are taller than 5'9 the shower head is going to be to short. I know I was really laying it all out but I felt those should. be mentioned and hopefully taken care of. It was very nice to stay at this home and the host was very prompt in her communication.

Perfect escape to Paradise!
The property is tucked away in a private cove on Catalina Island. The condos are positioned in a way that makes the condo feel very private. We enjoyed the ocean view and the sea breeze as well as the condo itself which was perfect for our girlfriend get-away! The golf cart made the short drive to Avalon easy and our self-touring the island was really fun. Whether you want quiet or adventure, this place will not disappoint!

Great Birthday Trip
It was our first time here at the Island and staying at this villa made it an epic time! House was perfect size for what we needed. We went at a very hot time and there was only one fan in the house so an extra fan or two would have been good to have. Other than that, we would definitely stay again!

What a VIEW!
Room view was phenomenal. Ate outdoors several times with 180 degree ocean view of the deep blue waters full of life, both animals and humans! :) Temperatures were wonderfully balmy, open windows all night long for breezy deep sleep every night. Every kitchen gadget you would ever need, beds were super comfortable, large shower, deep soaking bathtub, mahogany cabinetry was notable. And golf cart available to come and go as you please. It was a perfect stay, the quarters were beautiful and sturdy. We had so much fun. You can't choose a better experience.
