About this property
Relaxing retreat on quiet end of island, four house from North Bay Front
This is the downstairs unit of a two story duplex. There is an option to rent both and have a 5 bedroom property which sleeps up to 12 using sleeper sofa(sleeper linens will need to be requested prior to stay). Can be connected via interior door.
The lower unit is 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms plus a full size sleeper sofa (this is not your Grandma's sofa bed!) The home includes a newer kitchen (granite counter tops), Smart TV, Wi-Fi, Air Conditioning in main room and just about everything else needed to feel at home. The primary bedroom has a king size bed with an en-suite bathroom and TV. The secondary bedroom includes 2 twin beds. Both rooms have very large closets offering plenty of space to store suitcases and other gear.
The flooring is tile and porcelain wood-like tile throughout. There is an interior full size washer/dryer as well. This is an ideal rental for young families because we are so close to the sand that it is easy to retrieve your sunscreen, sand toys or snacks. The garage has beach toys and chairs though some disappear and new often added, we never know what will be there at any given time. A very large and inviting patio is directly off of the open living, dining and kitchen area. An exceptional place to relax and people watch or close your eyes and drift away. The patio also has an automatic awning for those who want to be protected from the sun. There are additional folding chairs and tables .in the bedroom closets. Relax and unwind on the quiet end of the Island, a stone's throw from N. Bayfront, the boardwalk, and the sand. Fully equipped kitchen to cook, Weber Grill on the patio(no representaion as to amount of propane in tanks, Ace Hardware not too far), or walk to Balboa Island's quaint downtown restaurants and shops. There is a two car garage with one parking spot reseerved for each unit. We also have 2 bicycles and 2 kayaks that are shared by both units. Please use helmets when biking and vests when kayaking.
Please pay close attention to the no parking signs as they ticket on street sweeping mornings.

About the host
Hosted by Sunshine
We are a local family and have enjoyed numerous special occassions on Balboa Island. As the kids and grandkids have grown we have been opening up more dates for rentals. We hope many families will enjoy the magic of Balboa as we have for the past 40 years.
Why they chose this property
The beauty of the island and quaintness of the street made this home an easy decision for our family. Everything important to us is walkable yet away from any island congestion.
What makes this property unique
Our property is located 4 houses in from the north bay at the end of Garnet. There is a public dock one block away. We have 2 kayaks and 2 bicycles that are shared by both units. The small beach at the end of Garnet is a perfect spot to relax and ideal for families with small children, just steps away from the property so it's easy to go back and forth to retrieve the sunblock or a beach pail. It is a short walk to the ferry and a very pleasant walk to Marine Ave. (the main street) to enjoy shopping , dining , Balboa Bars etc. If you want to see some of the local sights (Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, etc) you are definitely centrally located and no more than a 20 minute drive. Also, I must mention that the downstairs unit although smaller than the upstairs unit has a very large patio (by Island standards) that is like having an extra room of outdoor living. It is really nice for people who just want to relax and enjoy the outdoors. We also have an automatic awning for the downstairs patio.
