About this property
Good Day Sunshine Cottage-Newly updated!! Light and Airy w parking
This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom updated cottage is fully equipped for all of your vacation cottage needs. It is conveniently located central to the Balboa Peninsula just 3 houses away from the the beach and a 60 second walk to the sand. Not only is it a short walk to all of the eateries and local shopping that the Peninsula has to offer, it is next door to a wonderful little park with a playground/ basketball courts. There is virtually no traffic noise, as we are nicely tucked into the coastline.
