Best place you can stay in the Avalon area. Nancy’s place is in Hamilton Cove, a small private residential community about a mile and a half from the Catalina Express Avalon stop. The view was absolutely stupendous and drinking coffee overlooking the ocean was one of the best parts. The place also came with a golf cart, very useful in Catalina where it’s almost impossible to bring your car from the mainland (and most people drive golf carts). Hamilton Cove also has a private beach, pool, and tennis courts.
