The best house to entertain in on the Balboa Island! And the location is AMAZING! The kitchen is STOCKED with anything you could ever need to throw a brunch, lunch, or dinner for a large family or group. There are so many places to sit and gather including TWO outdoor dining tables as well as an indoor one. The views are EPIC and the sunsets are Stunning! The decor has major character, but hasn't been updated in quite some time. Some rugs and furniture have seen better days, for example, not a bad thing necessarily just a real lived-in vibe to be aware of. There's also no A/C- which isn't a big deal at night but during the day it can get a real toasty if you don't open up all the windows.

Great vacation, enjoyed time on the water. Could walk to great restaurants and activities. Home was older and a bit dated but worked out fine. Needs to be a welcome book explaining the operation of the tv. With 4 remotes, it takes some trial and error to get it going. Thank goodness for the younger people.
