Being able to sit on the deck and look at the water, boats and activity is the great thing about this unit. The place is immaculate and has everything you need. Julie is great at getting you settled and making sure everything runs smoothly. Peaceful, relaxing, fun!

Thank you for the great review! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
We are a local family that needed a place to stay while work was done on our home after a water leak. Balboa Island is a wonderful place and this home did not disappoint. The views are amazing, beds are comfortable, and house is clean. We enjoyed all the restaurants within walking distance and loved sunsets on the patio. Hope to find an excuse to stay here again!
