Why the Owner Chose Balboa Island
Our family vacationed on Balboa Island for many summers before we decided to buy a home. We always loved to travel and though we spent summer weeks on the Island, we wanted to have time to explore other parts of the world. We did and still our Balboa house rates as the number one vacation spot by the entire gang.
The Unique Benefits at this House
I love the ability to decide how I want to structure my day. Do I want to work out, read, swim, shop or go to Disneyland with my grandchildren? The possibilities are endless. Do I want to eat on the island at O.C.'s top rated "Basilic", drive up the hill to "Sage", bring in food from "Zinc Cafe" or go to "Pavilions", "Gelson's" or "Bristol Farm" for quality food to eat in? Or goodness, go to the latter for food to cook? Do I want to see a movie at Fashion Island or Art House films at U.C.I.? See dance or hear music at the O.C. Arts Center? Time is in short supply when I am on the island.
Owner's Map of Balboa Island
I love to host friends and family at my homes. Travel, music, film, and outdoor activities are what I love to share with others. For my solitary pleasure I read and find some new learning. I've always been fascinated by building and redoing--lots of practice through the years with many local projects.
