Too many stairs this is definitely a workout to get to the unit. Children screaming from the pool area. I really wanted to enjoy the jacuzzi but looking for relaxation time not kids being loud. The unit itself had nice view. And overall really nice. Too many details before checking in i was overwhelmed.

Beautiful Home/Perfect Location
We spent two days at Catalina for my daughter’s birthday. The condo was beautiful and had plenty of room for everyone to feel comfortable. I don’t recall seeing anything in the description that getting to and front the unit requires a lot of stair climbing so I was happy that we didn’t bring the grandparents because it certainly would have been an issue with no elevator. Other than that, we will book two nights rather than one next time so we can really enjoy the property and not have to worry about checking out and getting to the boat on time. Thanks for opening your home so we could make wonderful memories.

Great Place but needs some updates.
Overall the condo is nice however the floor in bathroom is rotted and shower door doesn’t close well. The worst thing though is the golf cart which is so old and beat up. Most of the plastic sides when rolled up don’t stay or don’t have a clip to help stay. Also tailgate is stuck down. Definitely not like the photo at all.

Needs lots of TLC
The view from the property was beautiful... with a few obvious improvements, the condo could be beautiful also. But, unfortunately it was in drastic need of repair. The bathtub faucet handle fell off in my hand when I went to turn on the water, the power went out on SEVERAL occasions, the bathroom floor outside the shower was rotted from water damage, the kitchen faucet shot water upwards toward the cabinetry, the front door was hard to lock, one of the patio doors was almost impossible to lock, and the golf cart has seen better days. Additionally, compared to other vrbo properties we have stayed in, it was not very well equipped. (i.e., coffee, spices, laundry detergent, etc.).

Heavenly!
This place makes you feel like you’re in another world. I mean being in Catalina makes you feel so far removed from LA and Orange County, but this little enclave just minutes from Avalon proper makes you feel like you’re on your own little island! Our place came with a golf cart to get around town and it has every amenity. Beautifully decorated with a wonderful island “beach” feel. We went to town on the golf cart and bought groceries at the local Vons (which is surprisingly very well stocked!!) and cooked dinner and breakfast and then carted back to town other days to eat in town. Some of the best times were eating and drinking on the balcony overlooking the Pacific and seeing LA and Orange County lights in the distance while listening to our favorite music! Super nice people all around! This place is the BEST!

Spain away from Spain
What a beautiful place to stay. It was an internal fight of whether to stay and enjoy the beautiful views, or explore the island. You also get some stair aerobics heading up to the apartment. The only small issue, if you're directionally challenged, a.k.a short, you'll have a hard time with the lock box on the door. We had a beautiful stay and hope to visit again, soon.

Catalina Mermaid House
Beautiful location. The house has everything you might need in the kitchen. It is due for some updating like flooring and living room couch but it is very comfortable and the beds slept like clouds. There were heaters that could be moved to warm the space because the thermostats didn't seem to work. This property is on the third floor so there are many steps, (like 50), to climb and there is no elevator. There are two bathrooms but one only has a tub that is quite low and deep so be aware if there are older guests. The shower door in the second bathroom didn't close tightly and there were a couple of other minor needed changes that I made the owner aware of. Golf cart is included at the site, which is a real plus. Taxi fare was $25.00 from the ferry to the location. We had a lovely visit! We were there in the winter, but I know it is great in the spring/summer. The host was extremely accommodating. We ran into really bad weather and she was open to work with us if we had to stay longer.

Needs a Handyman
First the good: clean spacious unit, great view, superior bed, easy to use TV, well equipped kitchen. The bad--this unit badly needs a handyman to spend a few hours fixing the many annoying issues. Front door doesn't lock. Second bath TP dispenser falls off the wall, shower door doesn't latch. Toilet runs. Bathtub handles come right off in your hands. Oven knobs come off in your hands. Jury rigged secondary lights under the cabinet. Kitchen drawers don't slide open easily. Golf cart is worn out--a rattle trap with one bald tire and the gas guage doesn't work. The manager of this unit really should hire someone to fix this otherwise great unit.

Great property at a great location. And hey provide a golf cart for us to move about the island while we are there. The only issue, and one mentioned by a lot of reviewers, so we were aware when we booked, is property maintenance. Fixtures like the toilet paper holder in one of the restrooms are broken and just balanced as if they are ok.

Comfortble with awesome views needs a lot of TLC
We stayed here for the Jazztrax festival. Super convenient for that, especially having access to the golf cart. The place was comfortable, great views and clean and we appreciated having a full kitchen to cook in and being able to get groceries at Vonn's using the golf cart. The price was decent but this place has been ridden hard and put away wet. A lot of what others have stated about the place rang true and I avoided stuff that did not work: south windows don't close, some doors out to the balcony and trash compactor. Guest shower door does not close and floor getting soft next to shower, plus faucet in that room for sink is loose. Also, toilet flush does not work correctly unless you know the trick to get it to work right. Some of this stuff could be fixed in an 8 hour day by a handyman others need more work and time. I cleaned out the outside BBQ grill (it was bad) and it worked fine. Also, golf cart curtains are crappy and the drivers side I just took off for the trip and the other side I left zipped, glad it was not hot. Further, the tags on the cart expired July 2023 and I was in Catalina in October 2023. I did ask about that but never received them and was told it would not be a problem. One thing I noticed was that there was not a fire extinguisher in the condo and no smoke detectors or CO2 detectors, unless I missed them? There was only 1 key to the condo not two. Would I stay here again, only if they fixed what ails this place, otherwise no.

Pick somewhere else to stay
The faucet handles in master bathroom fall off when you touch them, the second bedroom is really a closet with a bed in it, the drawers in the kitchen fall out when you open them. The toilet in bathroom #2 ran the whole time even though we called multiple times and were told it would be fixed multiple times. Also, there were not enough pots and pans to actually cook a nice meal. The property manager picked through and only responded to text messages that she wanted to deal with. While we will come back to Avalon; we probably will not book through VRBO and definetly not with this group!! The view was magnificent; it's not something they could let run down or tear up. I expected more. Oh yes, we also got a ticket because the tags on the golf cart had expired in July- we were there in October.

Could Use Some TLC
This property could use some maintenance. flooring, doors, windows are not in good condition doors, handles do not close latch etc. impossible to lock and secure the property. The golf cart was not full of gas, the cover on the cart is in bad condition (snaps, belts, turn buckles, zippers) was almost impossible to keep the sides rolled up and continued to fall down while driving around. This was a real pain. The view was incredible and we really enjoyed that but this property is needing some attention.

Great views, lots of stairs
Catalina is a magical place and this was a great property. We really enjoyed the balcony/deck/outdoor area, and found that the living area and the bedrooms and bathrooms were pleasantly decorated and comfortable. My bed was great! That said, there are a lot of stairs to climb to get to and from this property. I would not advise it for anyone with mobility issues. Also, it could use a little TLC. The toaster was unpredictable and the toilet flush had to be jiggled repeatedly. Also, the barbecue was very greasy and could cause a fire if not cleaned soon. Still, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Poorly maintained property
While the location is beautiful, this property is in highly need of attention. Many broken items including toaster, window cranks, door hardware etc. the flooring is peeling in spots, all of the cabinets are pretty banged up along with floor molding. They need to state that you need to climb 74 stairs to reach the unit. We felt that the owner has not done any maintenance on the property in years but charges a hefty price. We did enjoy the views but would not return to this condo.

Love Hamilton Cove, unit could use some TLC
Pros: Hamilton Cove is magical. I love it here and will continue to visit this part of Catalina often. The condo is convenient to everthing, the beach, the putting course, golf, and the pool. The golf cart was great too. The kitchen was well stocked. The master bed was very comfortable. The 2 fans were helpful as it was warm. Cons: The front door knob fell off everytime we opened the door, the patio door knobs are all in a bad state, the only shower in the condo has a door that will not close and the floor is being ruined from water damage, the toilet flush handle sticks and water will run if you don't realize to unstick it, and there is a very bad smell in the master closet. Overall: I would not rent this unit again due to the state of disrepair. As an owner of 3 rental homes in other areas in Southern California, I would be ashamed to charge over $5000 for 4 nights and have any one of the above complaints listed.

It was a lovely view once you got to the unit. Bad news was that no one told us there would be 72 steps to get to the unit with our bags. There were no markings on the walls to direct us to the unit. The door lock box was so high I could not reach it to obtain the key. My son was tall enough. We had to fix the toilet, there was garbage in and outside of the unit. The correct remotes were not in the unit to use the Television. The land line did not work nor did our cells so we could not contact anyone for assistance. As lovely as the view was, we will not be returning.
