Golf Carts maybe included in your rental but you will have to get to it first.

This site shares with AirBNB and VRBO. Please note that Hamilton Cove is a distance away and you will want to make sure they offer a golf cart with the property. The Cove is fabulous, however there are a bit of stairs to get to your property. Please don't hesitate to call company to inquire proximity to the Hotel Metropole, where all of the events are located. Noelle Nixon 415-889-7711

Avalon is full of many options. Check to see if they include a golf cart with property, if it's closer to town than you won't need one. Hamilton Cove you must get a golf cart! It looks close but is a good 10 mins. by cart

We are still finding great room rates for other hotels for the dates. Again, we recommend leaving on Monday!
