WONDERFUL! The Hamilton Cove is a peaceful oasis from the busy village of Avalon, but only minutes away by golf cart. Mornings are so quiet and beautiful, coffee on the balcony looking at the ocean -- splendid! The condo is very comfortable, with great beds/pillows, newly redone baths with great showers, a well-equipped kitchen. the balcony runs the length of the condo, so each bedroom has a door to the terrace and can hear the ocean. The golf cart is included, and worked really well to zip around. Three or four short flights of stairs to the condo--not difficult, and sort of fun because the condos are truly layered up onto the hillside, all with great views.
Avalon is lovely -- an old world hollywood vibe still lives there and great history. We hiked up into the hills--all of the sudden its a rugged wilderness of scrub and birds and near-desert landscape (get a permit, some great hikes!). The food in Avalon is great--plenty of real-foodie opportunities--try NDMK for authentic, delicious seafood and simple, casual setting (they have their own fishing boats in the harbor). Steve's Steakhouse has a delicious crab! And check out Afishinados for original island art and gifts. We also did the Catalina Zip Line -- wow! 5 lines, so so fun. All in all, a wonderful place to vaca -- thank you!
