Gorgeous unit - very spacious and a perfect luxury stay for a family in Catalina Island. It's hard to describe how beautiful the views from the patio and upstairs truly are. The only shortcoming - given the price of the stay - was the quality of the golf cart. We thought it would be a bit higher end and easy to navigate (especially given the steep hills) for the nightly price. The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with, and did small things here and there (like extra help with check-out) that made our trip exceptional.

Views, Luxury, Space to the Max
We rented this with the 5 bedroom attachment and had an amazing time.
In my opinion Hamilton Cove is the best place to stay in Catalina, and this home is the best that is available to rent.
