Great Beach House!

My family of four had a fantastic time at this beach house on Balboa Island! The house and kitchen were well stocked, and it was very clean on arrival. It was great having two bathrooms, even if one is a bit small (it's a beach house so exactly what we expected!). The location is perfect - close to the main street area and easy to walk the entire island. The host was fantastic - very quick to respond and incredibly nice. We hope to book this house again for future trips!

Beach house

We stayed here for 8 days and it was totally enjoyable. The place is very clean and close to the main drag on Balboa the Christmas boat parade was a real plus. The owner was great to work with. I would suggest this place to people you want to relax and have a good time, if your bring children it’s perfect as you and they can enjoy the beach and sand. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Bruce

Balboa charm

This house is very clean and has all the essentials. The renter is easy to get ahold of and helpful. Everything is close in Balboa but this is only a block off the main drag, which made walking around in the evening a breeze. Highly Recommended!!!

First VRBO AWESOME

First time we used VRBO. We were a little apprehensive. Would it be as advertised? My wife and I were most concerned about cleanliness. We loved it and are currently planning next years longer stay. Location awesome!!!

Great place!

This beach cottage is in the best location very close to the Main Street for most of the shops and eateries. Even my 92 year old mother was able to walk to town! There is also a small market/deli very close! This is very nice since street parking on the island can be very hard! Having the garage for parking is important, just don’t bring a very large vehicle, but it fit my sedan just fine! The place was very clean, well equipped, and Annie was great to work with! All of the beds are very comfortable. I did not expect such a comfortable bed in the bunk room, but it was! I would definitely stay here again. You can tell that a lot of thought and effort went into making this cottages renter-friendly!

Balboa Island Bliss

An absolutely excellent and well equipped property in the best location, just 1 street away from the shops and restaurants. This place is amazing, and much bigger than we expected, plenty space for our family of 4 to relax in between sight seeing. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook meals, and the BBQ was really good. The lounge area is a great area to relax, and the beds were very comfortable. We were even provided with soaps, laundry tablets, and dish wash tablets. I would highly recommend. If we come back I will look no further.

Balboa - an Island Paradise

We have been coming to the island every summer for over 25 years. This year our stand by cottages were overrun by growing families who own them and now have married grandchildren. Hence the hunt for a new location. We loved this property. It is bright and cheerful with amenities suitable for a family to cook and entertain local friends. It is close to Marine so an easy stroll to shopping and restaurants and Dad's for Ice Cream, an absolute necessity after dinner and dishes and games about 9:00 pm. We were all very comfortable and very pleased we found such a nice home on the island. We shall be back!
