About the host
Hosted by Kris Vitale
I’m a full time mom. I can be found running my kids to soccer, baseball, tennis and surfing. When the kids are in school, I’m usually out walking my dog or doing a spin class. I enjoy yoga, art, great food and a good wine with my husband and friends.
Why they chose this property
I’ve always loved the simpler times. This home makes me feel good, like I stepped into the past. Of course, it’s fully equipped with all the modern technology of today. Our goal was to try and make our guests feel the charm back when this home was built. Built in 1938, with all the precious details. We restored the original hardware and fixtures. We even decorated the home with photographs that were taken during 1940’s Balboa. Our place has style and class. It’s cozy and comfortable. Not to mention, all our linens and beds are luxury, 5 star. We thought of every detail so you can really enjoy your stay and feel like you’re on vacation. Welcome to Coral Cottage - Balboa Island’s cottage by the sea
