Activities and Attractions:

Our property is located less than one block from the beautiful Balboa Bay, boardwalk, and the Balboa Ferry that gives access to the Peninsula beaches and Pacific Ocean. The ferry is a lovely 5 minute ride directly to the Balboa Fun Zone (with arcades, rides, and snacks), the Balboa Pier, shopping and restaurants, boating and fishing excursions (including transport to nearby Catalina Island), and bike/water sport rentals.

Agate is the only street on the island with a children's climbing gym and basketball court. On the island itself, Marine Avenue boasts fine restaurants and boutique shops that are only 2 miles away from even more fine dining, shopping, and movie theaters at Newport's famous outdoor mall, Fashion Island.

For those interested in seeing more of the Orange County coastline, Laguna Beach lies only 7 miles further down the Pacific Coast Highway. Originally an artist's colony, Laguna hosts the Pageant of the Masters and Sawdust Festival in the summer, art galleries, and fine dining and shopping along with wonderful beaches with tide pools.

Island Retreat is within 30 minutes of Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm and an hour or so from Universal Studios, Hollywood, San Diego Zoo and Sea World. The Santa Ana/Orange County (SNA) Airport is only 10 minutes away and the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is approximately 45 minutes away.

Great location

This home was within walking distance to several attractions and within a 30 min drive to knotts berry farm. The house has enough room for our family and was very clean. The host communicated quickly and resolved any issues we had immediately. I would highly recommend this house to friends and family!!

Just as promised. Great place.

We booked this house for ourselves and our sons and their wives and kids. We had 7 adults and 2 five-year old children staying and the house accommodated our needs. We had plenty of places to sit and enough beds with extra pillows and blankets. There were enough towels (some places barely give any) and the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and gadgets for cooking family meals. We had three cars but there was no problem finding parking, and it was a short half-block walk to take the ferry over to the other side of the island. The property management was very responsive (Thanks Mitch!) and would definitely book again if we head down that way.
