Disappointment with local property management

Unfortunately, CVR, who is the island property management group. Their performance was very disappointing. Therefore, I had to rely on VRBO to take over. CIVR also shut the door of any communication because of my displeasure with how we were being treated. Communication was lack lesser to say the least by CIVR. They were very blunt by saying that I was to be conversing with VRBO over their participation by taking care of this property. When leaving the property, I was contacted by one of the cleaning people who asked if my husband and I were the new owners of this condo. We were a little bit confused because we were assuming it was the same owners. We were informed that the property had been sold and that there were new owners. We love staying at this condo, but would like to give a buyer beware to the owners of this property management for this condo that they probably need to reconsider using this local property management team.

Beautiful, elegant, quiet

Exactly what we were looking for: a private, quiet, elegant villa just close enough to the city center to make it convenient to walk and just far away enough to feel at peace. The perfect space for a couple looking to get away in style.

This villa has excellent views of Hampton Cove!!! It is a gated entrance, which gives you a secluded feel, yet the golf cart is right there if you want to go into Avalon for restaurants and shopping. Perfect for a relaxing or romantic get away!

Property itself was really nice. The view to the ocean is priceless. The ply thing I would change is having the property owners update the TVs, as well as the bedding. The tvs were only and bedding was not what I expecting was very worn.

Lovely Respite

We have no complaints about the condo only that there is some maintenance that needs to be done on the golf cart. It backfires a lot. Headlights and the headlight needs to be adjusted because it’s not facing forward. Windshield needs to be replaced as well because it is very difficult to look out And see oncoming traffic. The dishwasher is very loud and at the end of the day it never really cleaned the dishes. Housekeeping issues nothing major except for the golf cart does need to have maintenance to be done. We shocked many people going down the road, including us. Also the windshield is a real hazard. We plan on coming back, and enjoyed our stay immensely.

Nice stay

This was our second time staying in Hamilton Cove. The best part about staying here is having a golf cart to use which makes it easier to get around and enjoy more activities. This property was reasonably clean but lacked upgraded items (stove/oven, dishwasher and toilet) probably from the 80's. The bedding, bath towels and kitchen towels were good but the unit could be more diligent to provide better items like new dish sponges or cloths (they only had 4 old scrub sponges so we had to use a dish towel as a dish cloth to hand wash dishes). Also items like quality paper towels, and 2-ply T.P. (the public bathrooms in Avalon had better quality). Otherwise, our stay was enjoyable and relaxing. We'll probably re-rent this unit but will spend an extra $10 to purchase better items for our next stay.

A Letdown

My husband and I vacationed at Hamilton Cove properties several times in the ‘90s and had wonderful memories of those experiences. Fast forward to today, and suffice it to say, we were woefully let down. The management service texted us a code to access the lockbox to our unit. Unfortunately, they did not advise us that not all cellular carriers have connection in the Cove. Therefore, we had no way of communicating with the office. Fortunately for us, our daughter, who was staying with us, did have access. Next, there were no explicit directions on the location of our golf cart. We went up and down several flights of stairs looking for it. Upon calling the office, we were given the location of our cart. The cart itself was not exactly “state of the art” and backfired on one occasion and sputtered along in general. As to the condition of the condo; at first glance it appeared to be clean and tidy - until we went into the bathroom. The shower had a door once upon a time, in better times, I assume. Currently, the door has been removed and a shower curtain hangs in its place. Very tacky. But even more offensive, the toilet area reeked of urine, which intensified when the room was steamy after a shower. The unit was advertised to sleep 4, a pullout sofa bed being the accommodation to sleep two people. This was another debacle. In short, a good time was not had by all. 🙄

Catalina is a dream!

CVR: very easy to work with and responded timely which was helpful. They even went above and beyond by shipping us the souvenir’s we bought for our kids that we mistakenly left behind. Most places would say ‘sorry, too bad’ or charge an extravagant fee. We really appreciated it! H-242: Pros: The bed was comfy to sleep on, the mirrors in the unit made it feel spacious, the balcony with patio seating was one of my favs since it was quiet and you could just listen to the waves. Having access to a golf cart for our stay made a huge difference. (In-town stays don’t include one so you have to rent them hourly and it gets expensive quick) Cons: While most of this unit was clean (the floor, kitchen and bathroom shower/sink, dresser & bed), the walls, white leather furniture and doors need a deep clean. I get that it’s a rental but all the dirty handprints and smudges were very noticeable on the bright white walls. (See pics) Some of the blinds were damaged and a window was cracked so we weren’t able to open it to help cool the unit off overnight (we didn’t dare sleep with the patio doors open since it is a shared patio that also has stairs connected to a common area). We did open a bedroom window and there was a fan. Note: Someone previously complained of ants, a slow golf cart, broken toilet seat, delayed unit access, poor wifi, dirty sheets but all of those were non-existent issues for us. The community: It was clean and well cared for, especially for when it was built. This was our first visit to Catalina and I didn’t realize how busy the town and other beaches get, even in Sept. The private cove and pier were awesome and much more quiet. The gated community felt safe, had security at the entrance, and was quiet. The pool was clean and HEATED. We will definitely return!

Lots of issues need attention

Golf cart is dangerous. Bald tires poor brakes. Big ant problem including in the bed. Toilet seat broken. Old sheets and dirty blankets. Hamilton Cove (1986) has lots of deferred maintenance. Great location but this unit for the price needs improvement.

This property is terrible! The golf cart is raggedy!

I do not suggest this property to anyone for multiple reasons. You cannot get access timely. The tvs do not work, the WiFi is spotty at best, the golf cart is from the 1960s and raggedy! Getting around and just stirring the golf cart is an act of god your better off walking 3 miles to Avalon. The service from the gate, to the Villas was complicated and requested that I issue my ID and credit card information multiple times to multiple numbers our checkin was over an hour late! And to top it off the house is barely wipes down, and the blinds do not work well. And the tvs did not turn on with a remote you had to find a switch on the back of the tv. Thank God we were only in the Villa to sleep.

Too many requests

The view was great and it was peaceful during the week. Property owner had too many departure requests. Read them before renting. Upon departure owner wants renter to clean up trash and bring to dumpster. Also clean the dishes and restack them. Why do you charge a cleaning fee if the renter is responsible for cleaning? Didn't seem fair. Otherwise a pleasant stay.

Gorgeous property close to everything you could want to visit in Catalina. The golf cart is included and easy to access. Our only minor complaints were that some of the dishes were a bit dusty, and we thought it was strange that there was no TV in the main living room. But the views were killer and overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Stay at a Great Property

Overall it was fantastic. However when paying top dollar the lock on the front door should be easy to open, the ignition on the golf cart should not take 5 minutes of jiggling a bent key to start and the paper products provided (paper towels, toilet paper, and napkins) should be of high quality.
