Beach getaway

We stayed at the oceanfront property on Balboa - we enjoyed the long walks and the downtown shops and restaurants. Balboa Island is a great place to vacation and we loved the VRBO property.

First class property all the way. Top notch appliances in kitchen and bathrooms. Great linens. Extremely comfortable and attractive furniture, well placed to enjoy the incredible view and television. Fabulous patio area and grill overlooking the best view onto the bay. Easy walk to both the main shopping Street (marine Ave.), and the ferry to the Peninsula. We went in mid September, which may have accounted for the quiet atmosphere. But it was lovely! Management responded immediately to our questions. Don’t miss this experience!!!

Our third stay!

This was our third stay at the property since 2019. We have stayed in the upstairs unit as well. Honestly, it just keeps getting better. Very well maintained and upgrades noticed each time we have stayed. Communication if first rate! It will continue to be our first choice in SoCal!

The location was great as we were a short walk from everything Balboa and Newport have to offer. Plenty of room for five adults and one infant, and the pictures properly reflect the decor. Great stay!!!!
