Always love Balboa Island

We loved our stay at this nice and easy property that is right up to the bay. I grew up coming to Balboa Island, and I’ve always loved staying there. It still has that same charm. The property was clean and fit my family’s needs perfectly.

Fabulous stay on the Bay

We have stayed here before and will stay here again. The property is perfectly located on Balboa's South Bay and right next to Marine where all the shops and restaurants are. The entire place has been very nicely remodeled and is beautiful and clean. The beds are very comfortable and it has all the amenities you need. We love sitting on the patio and watching the boats. It was a perfect stay.

Beautiful Location

Everything was amazing. Location was five star. Jordan was great. Only issue we had was the master bath shower. Water seemed to run through the grout lines leaving puddles of water on the tile drenching the shower mat. As a suggestion, add a little caulk in the grout line where the shower door and tile meet. Already looking at dates for next year.

Great Location

The unit was as expected and comfortable. Everything we needed was available. We certainly appreciated the spices, oils, and incidentals for cooking that were provided. The beds were comfortable (even though I like foam - haha) and the pillow options were adequate. The best part was the location - the access to the walking bath and the town was perfect! just a block away and the little local market was great! Thank the owner for sharing their little space with us - we were there for work but this made it a little vacation!

Another Wonderful Two Weeks On Balboa Island

Our family has stayed in this property for at least the last fifteen years and every year we have a wonderful stay. The location is ideal for shopping and eating on the island, and it has the best beach on Balboa Island. I was pleasantly surprised by the facelift the owners gave to the house. It made the house even more inviting. Miriam is a very attentive and professional property manager. We had a couple of small issues that needed attention and Miriam was very prompt in addressing them and correcting them. It was a great experience again and we will certainly be returning.

Feb vacay

Everything was just wonderful about the stay. Jordan was right there if ever we needed help with anything. The only complaint, and this will keep us from renting this property again was the bathroom set up. No fun having the w/d in the second bath, and the master bath was so cramped it made it difficult to consider having two people using it. Only a single towel bar and no hooks for hanging wet towels, pjs etc.
