Welcome to Hamilton Cove — the only guarded, gated community on Catalina Island. This immaculate villa checks all three of the “big-ticket” boxes buyers want most: a stunning ocean view, a low number of steps, and the coveted short-term vacation rental license—a rare asset now that the City of Avalon has capped new permits. Just 15 easy steps from Playa Azul, this corner end-unit sits close to the ocean and offers lovely water views from the living room, bedroom, and two private balconies. With no unit above and extra windows on the side, the villa enjoys exceptional natural light and a sense of privacy more reminiscent of a single-family home. The property is offered fully furnished and includes a street-legal Avalon-approved golf cart. The assigned parking space—another rarity—is only steps from the front door rather than several blocks away. Beautifully remodeled, the interior features quartz countertops, bar seating, stainless steel appliances, an oversized sink with upgraded hardware, and stylish flooring throughout. A granite fireplace anchors the living room, and dramatic vaulted ceilings elevate every room, including the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bath. Additional conveniences include full-size interior laundry, a bedroom closet with built-in organizers, and attic storage accessible through a hidden hatch. The villa overlooks a charming grassy croquet lawn rather than a neighboring building, giving it open views, abundant natural light, and a uniquely airy feel. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises, sip morning coffee while watching for passing dolphin pods, and enjoy the unparalleled resort lifestyle Hamilton Cove is known for. Community amenities include: • A private 18-hole miniature golf course • Resort-style pool and oceanfront hot tub • Hamilton Cove fitness center • Two illuminated tennis courts • Kayak and beach-toy storage • Luxurious clubhouse with full kitchen • Oceanfront playground • Beach volleyball • Seasonal boat dock access Opportunities like this rarely become available. Don’t wait—this villa is expected to sell quickly.
