Absolutely Amazing!

My husband and I spent a few nights at Hamilton Cove for some rest and relaxation . Everything about our experience was top notch! The condo itself was in pristine condition and it was everything it was advertised to be. The views were stunningly breathtaking. We felt like we had our own little piece of heaven as we spent each morning and evening watching the sun rise and set from unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. What was even more impressive was the hospitality of the hosts, which began prior to our trip. Brent was very attentive and provided us with all the information we needed to have a wonderful experience. He was extremely kind and even mailed me some items that were left behind. We fell in love with the island and will definitely be back for a longer stay. We could not recommend this property enough. You will not be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Brent Humpherys

Hi! We're Brent and Carrie, and we're from Carlsbad, California but have always loved Catalina Island! We purchased this condo in May 2022 and spent six weeks getting it ready to have guests. We have only 5-star reviews and two guests who submitted video testimonials, but those dropped off after we decided to self-manage our property and try to keep rates lower for guests. We're approaching our 27th wedding anniversary and have four sons (25, 24, 22 and 17.) We've been searching for the perfect place for seven years and when this corner unit near the top became available, we jumped on it! Feel free to message us and we can answer any questions you may have, as well as to send reviews published to our then property manager's site! We literally went live on VRBO (on our own!) on August 13, 2022.

Why they chose this property

It's been updated, is only one flight of steps from the top road (Plaza Azul) and is a corner unit with extra windows in the bedroom and living room to really take in the ocean. As we're on a corner, we are one of the units which actually has a wood burning fireplace, and we have the vaulted ceilings with beams in the living room and bedroom. We are including our Yamaha 4-passenger golf cart, too -- and we just put in a brand new stainless steel microwave and stove, two new 2022 LG Smart TVs, new ceiling fans in the bedroom and living room, new California King bed set, frame, nightstand and large dresser, a Cuisinart 2-in-1 Coffee Center with regular coffeemaker and a K-cup machine, and we managed to talk Verizon into allowing us to bring over our enterprise-grade 5G internet gateway and reprovision it to work on the island! We're seeing speeds up to 20X faster than the Catalina Island internet speeds we had when we purchased, too. We also are making available the full-sized washer and dryer which we share with the adjacent condo. We have pool toys, board games, tennis rackets and balls, and everything you'd need to have an amazing vacation! We've also written a visitor's guide with fun activities during your stay, great places to eat, and more.

What makes this property unique

Guests find us very convenient being only one set of stairs from the top road. It's also rare to have a fireplace and the added windows from being a corner condo. As we are both a corner and near the top, we actually are a "pop out" condo with no neighbor above the bedroom or living room and we have the high vaulted ceilings at both the living room and bedroom with the wooden beams. Another nice convenience is that the parking for our golf cart is up top pretty close to the condo and not down below where guests must park and then climb dozens of stairs.
