Welcome to Haven: a Premium Hamilton Cove Getaway! Only 21 Steps + Golf Cart

(Please ask about our gorgeous new "sister" property in Building 1 now available.) Come enjoy our premium, hilltop corner unit in Avalon's 24/7 guard-gated Hamilton Cove with expansive 35 foot balcony and unobstructed, stunning ocean views! The condo is only one set of stairs from the top road (Plaza Azul) in building 2 and ultra convenient with only 21 steps! We just remodeled our place with new carpet, new stove, new microwave, new refrigerator, new dishwasher, new 2022 LG Smart TVs (65" and 55"), all new pillows, sheets, blankets, duvets, towels, artwork, patio furniture, 2-in-1 coffee center and new 2023 Verizon 5G Business Class WiFi (up to 200 Mbps.). We have one of the more rare wood-burning fireplaces, and our condo features wall-to-wall ocean views due to two sets of dual French doors and the dining room with bay windows. Both the living room and master bedroom have no neighbor above them, as this is a "pop out" corner unit near the top with the vaulted ceilings. Your stay includes complimentary use of our 4-seat Yamaha golf cart with free, dedicated parking conveniently located at the top road and not at the base of the development. Amenities include swimming pool, spa, fitness facilities, saunas, Hamilton Cove beach, 18-hole miniature golf, two tennis courts, a badminton/croquet area, children's playground, beach volleyball, and outdoor grills. For those who are familiar with Hamilton Cove, this is Building 2, Condo 45 just one set of stairs from the upper road.

Great stay at the Haven in Hamilton Cove. Very comfortable and relaxing condo with a fantastic view. Easy to get to with only 21 steps and close proximity to the golf cart. We had a sea gull visit us on our balcony! Brent is definitely one of the best hosts we have met! Hope to return again soon.

OWNERS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!

I surprised my Husband for his Birthday here in early Feb and brought along our two littles (6 and 3).We found the place in the PERFECT spot just outside of town and the pool, private beach and playground were as amazing as they sound!!! I literally wanted to play on the playground! Super cool!! Condo worked great for the kids and us!!Best of all was the great communication with the owner Brent who I think is my new bestie! Haha! He was wonderful and helped EVERY step of the way to make sure our trip was PERFECT!!!We especially loved the views, with dolphin pods EVERY morning you could see from the balcony plus the wonderful golf cart included that’s super close and fun to explore Avalon with!! Master bedroom was surprisingly large too! Can’t wait to come again!!! :-)

Absolutely Amazing!

My husband and I spent a few nights at Hamilton Cove for some rest and relaxation . Everything about our experience was top notch! The condo itself was in pristine condition and it was everything it was advertised to be. The views were stunningly breathtaking. We felt like we had our own little piece of heaven as we spent each morning and evening watching the sun rise and set from unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. What was even more impressive was the hospitality of the hosts, which began prior to our trip. Brent was very attentive and provided us with all the information we needed to have a wonderful experience. He was extremely kind and even mailed me some items that were left behind. We fell in love with the island and will definitely be back for a longer stay. We could not recommend this property enough. You will not be disappointed.

Great clean condo at Hamilton Cove

Randomly was looking for a one night getaway for my dads birthday and was lucky to get the place we stayed at. The place was nice and clean from the kitchen, bedroom and the bathroom. We have stayed at other places in Hamilton Cove but were way outdated. This has been recently upgraded which made our stay more enjoyable. Brents was very responsive prior to reserving and after confirmation. He even made sure that we had the golf cart before we were able to check in. This place has the same beautiful view as most places in Hamilton Cove but Brents responsiveness and the cleanliness of the condo would definitely make us want to stay there again.

The Happy Place

What a special place to stay at the Hamilton Cove! It was perfect in every way. The cleanliness is so important and it’s hard to find places that exceed your expectations. A true beauty and wonderful escape. The unit was very spacious and the view was spectacular! The customer service was top notch with a personal touch. The host was accommodating, a creative problem solver and resourceful. The host aim was to ensure our experience was special for our celebration in every way and boy were they successful. A rare find in destination and quality service such a perfect marriage.

Incredible condo, stunning views, and amazing host

We travel frequently and we’ve stayed in many vacation rentals, and this was one of our best experiences for so many reasons. The condo, which is situated in the lovely gated community of Hamilton Cove, was amazing and perfect for our family vacation. The first thing you notice when you walk in the door is the stunning, panoramic view of the ocean. It was truly a magical sight, and we spent all of our mornings on the balcony taking in the beautiful sunrises. The condo was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. We spent half of our first day playing games in the family room and taking in the views- we didn’t feel like we had to rush out because we enjoyed this home so much. Brent was also the kindest, most responsive and helpful host we have ever had. He went out of his way to make sure we had all of the information we needed. You could tell he genuinely cared and wanted us to enjoy their home and the island. We were so impressed with everything about our stay, and we will absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Catalina.

Haven was Heaven on Earth!!

My wife Angie and I had a wonderful time staying at this gorgeous property. The experience was great from the very beginning with the booking process and communication from Brent (The Host.) Upon arriving at the home, we were delighted to find everything had exceeded our expectations. The panoramic view from the balcony was breathtaking. It reminded us of our stay in Santorini a few years ago. Anything we could have possibly wanted was already provided from the large flat screen TV's down to a well-stocked kitchen, beach towels and chairs, tennis rackets and balls, etc. We were pleased to find how spacious this unit was along with the luxurious bathroom with shower and tub. We loved the use of the golf cart! It made running into Avalon for dinner and shopping very convenient and also really fun. WE can't express enough how wonderful our stay was and so looking forward to booking again in the near future. Thank you so much!!!

Look no further, this is the premier condo In Hamilton Cove

Wow! Blown away with the experience from the beginning to end. Where do I start? First, this condo is absolutely the best in all of Hamilton Cove! Stunning unobstructed ocean views, pristine property conditions, excellent communication with the owners, use of their golf cart, only one flight of stairs, and a private gated community. We are still pinching ourselves after staying in this beautiful oceanfront condo & amazing vacation. Second, Brent the owner, is awesome! He communicates regularly & is available to answer any questions! Lastly, there is no doubt we will definitely be back. I highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Catalina, that you stay here!
