We are a local family that needed a place to stay while work was done on our home after a water leak. Balboa Island is a wonderful place and this home did not disappoint. The views are amazing, beds are comfortable, and house is clean. We enjoyed all the restaurants within walking distance and loved sunsets on the patio. Hope to find an excuse to stay here again!
