About this property

Where Coastal Luxury Meets Lasting Memories, steps from South Bayfront

Welcome to Balboa House, a beautifully reimagined, first-level beach retreat nestled in the heart of Balboa Island—just steps from the shimmering waters of South Bayfront. This elegant 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been fully renovated with high-end finishes, premium appliances, and thoughtful design, offering more than 1,200 square feet of light-filled living space where comfort meets sophistication.
Enjoy slow mornings on the front patio with a warm coffee and the ocean breeze. Prepare fresh, local fare in the fully outfitted galley kitchen, featuring top-of-the-line appliances and custom cabinetry. Spend your days basking in the sun, wandering the island’s charming shops, or ferrying across the harbor for coastal adventures—and return home to luxury linens, serene bedrooms, and the familiar ease of a home that welcomes you at every turn.
Every detail at Balboa House is curated for relaxation, connection and joy. From plush bedding and spa-inspired bathrooms to private indoor laundry and a rare, dedicated carport parking space, your stay will be seamless and stress-free. Beach chairs, towels, and a cooler are all included—because memories are made on the sand, toes in the water, laughter in the air.
Your Island Escape Awaits
Balboa Island is more than a destination — it’s a feeling. Stroll to fine dining, charming boutiques and bayside beaches. Take a sunset cruise. Share ice cream on Marine Avenue. Watch the kids collect shells or ride the ferry to the Fun Zone just across the harbor. Whether you’re savoring a special celebration or simply carving out time together, the magic of island life is all around you.
At Balboa House, you’ll find more than a place to stay—you’ll find a place to be. To reconnect. To unwind. To make memories that will last long after the week is done.
