Map & Owner's Profile
Balboa Island Elegant Cape Cod 2-Story Home
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Balboa Island
I spent my first summer on Balboa Island when I was 12 years old. I never forgot the wonderful experience - the beaches, charming houses, boating in the harbor, and the wonderful weather. I always dreamed about owning one of the beautiful houses. And one magical day my dream came true!
The Unique Benefits at this Home
One of the greatest things about vacationing on the island is that you don't need to get in your car. That was my husband's criteria when we were looking for a vacation home. We love to spend our time biking, walking around the island, and crusing the harbor in our electric Duffy boat. Our house has been described by previous guests as one of the warmest and most comfortable houses that they have ever stayed in. I appreciate the opportunity to have other people enjoy themselves so much during their stay, love to read their entries in our guest book, and work hard to think of everthing that we could do or provide to ensure that our guests have a memorable vacation experience.
Owner's Map of Balboa Island
My husband is a cardiologist, and I am a real estate professional. We live in Phoenix, AZ. We fell in love with the house from the first moment that we saw it. There were already 3 other purchase offers submitted to the seller of the house. We put in our offer at the list minute and crossed our fingers. The rest is history, and we ended up with our dream vacation home.

Hi Shari, I am sorry we haven't sent you a note earlier, because we all LOVED the house and our vacation! The house exceeded our expectations. Your furnishings are beautiful, and we loved all the details that make this house relaxing and comfortable - great showers, sound system, very comfortable beds, and a great kitchen. My sister loved the Pirate, and insisted on pictures with him. Thank you for the welcome gift - it was unexpected and very sweet. Thanks for leaving beach toys available - we used them daily. I didn't know how usable the Balboa Island beaches would be, but the beach really close to your house was perfect for a three year old. Oh, and our new favorite breakfast place - Wilma's Patio. I think I gained at least 4 pounds, and I have to blame the shakes at Ruby's...oh well, they were delicious. I could go on and on.... Thank you so very much for a fantastic vacation in a beautiful house. It was so wonderful. Sincerely, M. Walter

Oh my gosh, what a beautiful place you have in Balboa. The pirate was the "hit" - right up there with Disneyland with the three kids. We had such a wonderful time - everything was perfect. We throughly enjoyed your home - it is so comfortable and beautifully decorated - there was absolutely NOTHING that we wanted for. We ate all of our meals there - inside - outside - all around. Thanks again so much.

The week at your beautiful Balboa Island home was wonderful! You have thought of everything for your guests. The home is gracious, beautifully decorated and outfitted, in a wonderful location. My family loved it. Even the "graduate" who thought we should be closer to the ocean decided I had made a great choice. Thank you for sharing your home!

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your beautiful home. It is very well equipped (the toothbrush was especially thoughtful), incredibly spacious, and so nicely done. It was perfect for two families. We had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed the fabulous weather. You truly have one of the nicest houses on the island. Lucky you!
