The view from your balcony at Hamilton cove is truly amazing and you can leave the doors and windows open at night to hear the waves crashing. There are a lot of stairs so traveling with lug was a bit of a challenge. The golf cart that was included made our trip amazing! We were able to explore so many places at Catalina Island. The only negative experience I had was with the vacation rental company employees kept harassing me about my service animal. Calling me and texting me from different numbers asking me to provide proof and email them paperwork about my service dog... not the most professional people I have dealt with. Also, the cleanliness of the unit was questionable. For example the red stained sheets and questionable items inside. Simple attention to detail and more courteous communication could have made my Catalina island birthday trip more enjoyable.
