This was our first trip to Catalina Island and I am so glad that we stayed at Stephen’s place. Stephen’s condo at Hamilton Cove provided the perfect home base for exploring the island. My children and I loved having the golf cart to zip around Avalon and we enjoyed having access to resort amenities - even in February we were able to enjoy the pool and hot tub. The condo did get pretty chilly at night, but there were space heaters and plenty of blankets to make it cozy. The spacious and comfortable open concept living area made preparing meals easy, which cut down considerably on expenses and made for a more family friendly vacation. The partial ocean views were beautiful and better than you could find at most hotels on the island. If you’re going to visit Catalina for more than one night, I would highly recommend staying at Stephen’s Hamilton Cove condo. Stephen was a gracious host, and I would hope to stay at his place again on a future trip to Catalina.
