Steps to ocean and bay along with Cape Cod decor makes this home lovely, fun and comfortable. The fantastic location and a rooftop deck make staying at the beach a special occasion. Located in the Bayside area of the Balboa Peninsula, 308 Alvarado Place offers great family accomadations.
This lovely, newly remodeled UPPER unit, pictured here, is only 250 feet to the oceanfront sidewalk and less than 100 feet to bayfront sidewalk. 308 Alvarado is about six blocks from the Balboa Pier. The upper unit has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and an office/sleeping loft, outdoor roof-top deck, and separate TV den. Steps to ocean means no water views, just real, real close!
The living room and dining room is very open with high ceilings and windows, thick moldings and great decor. Much of the house is remodeled as of 2008. The kitchen has a great garden window, custom tile counters and floors with all new appliances. Windows throughout the house are textured for privacy and light. Tile floors give it a clean and fresh feeling.
This interesting floorplan offers a large master bedroom with dramatic fireplace and walk-in closet. The master bathroom also has a marble, double-headed shower. A spiral staircase leads to an office loft above the living room. All linens included.
Beautifully upgraded and decorated, this home is completely furnished and even comes with beach cruiser bicycles. Pets are NOT allowed, NO Smoking. We are very strict about a maximum of 8 people.

Why the Owner Chose Balboa Peninsula
The Pacific Ocean is a constant source of pleasure. We also love parking our car and not getting back into it for a week! Bike riding to shopping and restaurants, even the Post Office is a delight.
The Unique Benefits at this Luxury Upper Unit of Duplex
Our family has a saying, "You haven't been to the beach till you get sand on your feets" --so please spend time walking the beautiful Balboa beach enjoying the amazing Pacific Ocean. Walking along bayfront to restaurants is another favorite pastime.
Cars, bikes and walkers are all welcome. Look for seals in the bay.
Take the ferry, walk around the island on bayfront.
Owner's Map of Balboa Peninsula
Pete is a retired Delta Air Lines Captain. Pete and Kathy have owned on the Balboa Peninsula for 30 years but still feel like it's the perfect vacation spot. Pete was in the Air Force when we bought our first home on Island Avenue in the late 70's. Work brought us to Utah where our sons grew up. Now we spend half the year in Balboa and half the year in the Salt Lake City area.
