My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Lamont’s villa for three nights for my birthday and we had such a relaxing time. The view was beyond beautiful. We would wake up every morning and have coffee on the balcony and even had dinner one night as we watched the sunset. The area is so quiet! And very private and we absolutely loved that. The only disadvantage is that we stayed at a time where they are doing construction and building more villas, so we’d wake up from the noise around 7:30am. One of the windows wouldn’t shut neither, but it was fine we enjoyed the fresh air all day and night. Beinf woken up early was ok too because we slept early, so it was nice to wake up and get our day started. If you’re not there for an event, Catalina Island is more of a relaxing type of atmosphere, not too much night life. So that’s why we slept early. Plenty to do during the day though!!!
The place was pretty clean. I was told the actual Hamilton Cove area has some ants issues, so that’s why we saw some around the villa. The bed was comfortable and having Netflix and being able to watch tv was a great amenity!!
The Golf Cart was the best amenity ever! We would’ve spent so much money if we didn’t stay at Hamilton Cove and had to rent because we used the golf cart so much. We went everywhere and explored! Take advantage of that!! SEE ALL OF CATALINA as much as you can. It was great. The steering wheel was very hard to turn and it was super cold at night without a cover but that was fine.
Villa all in all was good! Decor a little outdated and the place is not upgraded but still a wonderful spot.
Thanks Lamont for allowing us to use your Villa. You allowed us to have such a romantic and special couple of days!
