This place could be great, but it just—isn’t. We have stayed in Hamilton Cove many times and, although the quality of the condos does vary, this property is substandard. The cutsey Catalina decor is not overdone and the ocean view is spectacular, but all HC condos have that. The bed we used was very nice, but that’s also to be expected. The high ceilings were a nice surprise. However, the kitchen is barely stocked with cooking implements and two of the teflon pans were so scratched as to be unusable. The cabinets were grimy inside and out and need repainting. The living room furniture, also unusable. This is hard to describe, but the bottoms of the couch and chair slide out from under you as you are sitting, because the bottoms are on wheels! We ended up sitting on the one comfortable chair and one of the tall chairs from the deck. Nothing seemed really sparkling clean. The showers are dangerously slippery. The golf cart is so broken down that parts of it flap in the wind, as you are driving it! We will not stay here again, even though there are so few steps from the street to the unit; hard to find in HC.
