Great stay on Balboa Island. Home was exactly as advertised, clean, well equipped and good location. The garage was an added bonus as parking can be challenging on the island. Would definitely stay again.

Late July Balboa Island Getaway

Great location with about a half mile walk to Marine Avenue and lots of fun restaurants. The boardwalk was just a block from the unit and provided beautiful Island bayside walks. The outside deck was great for dining alfresco. The attached garage was a definate plus and took away parking stress when taking the car out. Overall great stay for us.

The house is in a great location on the island that allowed for many walks with my family, enjoying all the Christmas decorations. The house was very clean when we got there and had everything we needed for cooking, cleaning and just overall comfortable living. The house is well updated, bed was very comfortable and clean, and the place also had AC/heating. We enjoyed eating our meals on the rooftop patio and the grill also works great! Overall just a fantastic stay. Pat is a great host that was open to helping us whenever we needed. Communication was great!

The apartment was lovely with nice upgrades and all needed amenities. It has a nice private patio and is close to the water and Balboa walking path. Just a short walk to the ferry. The bed was super comfortable and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Month Long Get Away

I found the property to be very comfortable for my month long get away. I was working remotely during my stay and the wifi worked without a problem. Balboa Island is lovely and very walkable. I was able to walk around the Island to shopping and restaurants. I took the Ferry to the Balboa peninsula to walk on the beach and watch the sunset.
