LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION AND MORE!

We've been staying on Balboa Island annually for decades and this is our favorite home rental yet! Just steps away from the bayfront made for great fun with our grandchildren. The location and views are spectacular! Pat was a dream host - she texted us upon arrival to welcome us, answered texts promptly and made us feel at home. We enjoyed it so much that we've already secured it for 2022! Thank you, Pat, for a perfect vacation home for our family!

Pat is a great owner. When we mentioned that the refrigerator filters would need to be replaced soon, she had someone come over the next morning and replace them.

We Enjoyed Our Stay

This was the second year that our family stayed for a week in Pat's vacation home. It is just the right size for our family...8 adults, 5 children and 1 small dog. We especially appreciate that since it is a duplex, we had two complete set-ups including 2 kitchens which are fully stocked. We love that it is located directly on North Bayfront as the children could play on the beach from dawn to dusk with us keeping an eye on them even when we were on our patio and not on the sand with them. Pat is a very responsive host; responding quickly and quickly taking care of any questions/concerns.

Balboa Island at its Best

There were 14 of us for nine days, including three generations of family. We rented both the upstairs and downstairs units and it worked out perfectly. We all ate dinner together upstairs. This was our fourth stay at this house. It is right on the water with a small beach ten feet away. The house is well furnished, with comfortable beds, plenty of common space, fully stocked kitchens and four washers and dryers. The place is immaculate and has all the amenities you could want. The owner is wonderful and very attentive, We will stay there again.

Great stay!

We were so pleased with the location of the home. It's so close to all the action and easy to get to as well after crossing the bridge. Clean and ready for the next guests. The Property manager/owner, Pat is responsive as well. If you do rent the entire property (both units) like we did, then please note that there is not an interior stair way to connect them. The only way to access the downstairs/upstairs unit is from the 2 exterior stair cases.

This place is huge - lots of rooms and space. I do think that of the rentals we have had in Balboa this one was probably the most disapointing in layout. Much of the nicer space was upstairs and only accessable through an exterior staircase. The first floor was very crowded and the laundry room and garage were only accessable via going outside or going through the master bedroom. I think if your objective is to be close to the beach with as many rooms as possible this place fits the bill perfectly.

Great Accommodations on Balboa Island

We have been renting this same home for five years and have already paid for our visit next summer. We rent both the upstairs and downstairs units for our group of family and friends that fluctuates from 11-15. The place is right on North Bay Front literally 10 feet from the sand. It is room and well-appointed with full kitchens both up and down. It is clean and in good shape. The owner is very responsive and has a handyman for any issues that come up. The two car garage is convenient as street parking is available but sometimes hard to find. We consider this our home on Balboa Island and look forward to many more visits.

Our Family's Go To Vacation House on Balboa Island

This was our third stay in this house. It is actually a duplex and you can rent the upstairs, the downstairs or both. We need both for our family of 12 ranging in age from 18 to 79. It is right on the water and very close to the shopping street. You can even walk to the grocery store. The home is inviting, clean and very comfortable with all of the amenities you would want. The owner personally is in contact to make sure your stay is just as you want it. It comes with a two car garage, beach chairs and beach toys and the kitchens are fully equipped. We love this place and have already secured it for August 2024. This deserves my highest rating.

Perfect Family Holiday Home! Location, Amenities, and all.

We live locally and wanted a place to have for our Family of 12, ages 24-86 for the Holidays. This place was perfect. Location: Walk Balboa Island, Walk to Ferry and rent a Duffy from the Fun Zone, walk downtown, walk across the bridge to Pavillion's for last minute grocery adds. Or sit on the waterfront patio and watch. Clean and Turnkey: Property is well appointed with what is needed for a short stay. Owner has paid attention to details. Functional for a large group: Upstairs kitchen was small and had everything one would need. Downstairs kitchen larger and allowed for cookie baking while dinner was being prepped up top. Rooms: Bunk Room was fun for "young adults." Both Masters offered privacy and space for "older adults." Less street noise than other properties we have stayed in the area. Owner very responsive to a couple of small things he was unaware of and immediately had them taken care of.

My husband and I stayed in the upper unit with our adult nephew who lives in LA and came down for a couple of days during our stay. Our 11 year old granddaughter and her best friend stayed in the twin bed room. Our daughter, her husband, our 9 year old grandson, our daughter's friends and their son all stayed in the downstairs unit. I did not spend any time downstairs so I can only address the upper unit which was super nice and immaculately cleaned. My daughter said the owner stopped by and said if we needed anything to let her know. The master bedroom upstairs is above the garage and quite spacious. The upper unit seems new. We had no complaints and the location is ideal when dining in town, and just ideal regardless. We were also grateful that we were able to bring our small dog as she loved the daily walks along the boardwalk and being with us. There is plenty of room and the ideal situation is to rent the entire place so you aren't sharing a patio, though each side of the patio has the same amount of furniture and is well set up. I did walk through the downstairs when deciding which unit we would use and found the master bedroom was much smaller and entry is through the garage so anyone coming in through the garage would go through the master bedroom, not a problem really for our daughter and her husband, just an FYI.

Our family LOVES this property. This was the sixth summer we have rented both the upstairs and downstairs for our extended family of 12. The owner Pat is very friendly and extremely responsive to any needs you might have. We always find the home spotlessly clean. It is well appointed with first rate kitchen and laundry appliances. Both kitchens have plenty of glasses, flatware, utencils, and cookware, The beds are comfortable as are the sofas. There are plenty of beach chairs and towels, comfortable outside seating and two propane barbecues. The upstairs dining table easily seats 12. Located five houses from the main street on the island, it is easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and other amenities. The view is sensational. Both levels look out onto the bay with boats passing by. The beach is 10 feet from the front door and is very swimmable. We just left this wonderful house to return to our homes but I have already rented it for next August. That is probably the highest compliment I can make.

This is the 4th year that we have rented Pat's beach house for our annual Balboa Island family vacation. It's just right for our 3 generation family of 13 with ages from 3 to 87 years. Because the house is really two, one on top of the other and we rent both units, we enjoy the freedom of having a 2 full kitchens, master bedrooms and baths, laundry rooms, etc. It provides room for small family groups to have quiet times together in their separate units and then to very easily come together for shared dinners, games, and crafts. This year we brought a large lego set, laid it out on the coffee table in the large upstairs living room and everyone enjoyed getting together to work on it during the week.The other big plus for us is the location of the house...on No. Bayfront. It's just a walk across the sidewalk from the front porch to the sand and water. We didn't have to pack chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, kayaks and paddleboards from the house to the beach and back everyday. We could all easily move back and forth from the beach to the house all day with ease.

Excellent property! We returned to this property this year to rent both the upstairs and downstairs for a multi-generational family gathering. Location was perfect for us; loved being near town and on the water. Property is very clean, comfortable and had everything we could have possibly needed. Our favorite part of the house was the front patio — comfortable outdoor sofas, dining tables and chairs, plus BBQs. The best way to enjoy Balboa is outdoors! Highly recommend the downstairs, the upstairs, or both!
