The place was perfect for my husband and I, very cute, beachy, and clean, super comfy bed too! We loved that it was right on Balboa blvd. bc it was a short walk to beach and bayside. We also loved bbq’ing and sitting at the table on the courtyard. Convenient that laundry machines were in the garage along with lots of chairs and boogie boards for guests to borrow. Janet was quick at getting back to us when we had questions which we really appreciated. We will definitely be back! 10/10 recommendation from us!

The unit was awesome. Spotless to clean spacious. Full kitchen. Nice outdoor seating for breakfast. A three minute walk to the beach. Plenty of free street parking. Communication with the owner was perfect. Fantastic location. You don’t even have to move your car so much to do within walking distance.

Thank you Ellen, for your "Five Star" critique of our "Balboa Beach Escape" studio apartment. You were an absolute pleasure to have as a guest and we will welcome you back next time. You mentioned several things that would improve a guests experience in the future and we listened. The frame around the bathroom mirror has been repaired. The miss print in the guide for our WiFi has been corrected. What's interesting is that you were the only one that noticed it. We will verify receipt of all self check in codes. We strive to make our guests lodging experience at "Balboa Beach Escape" a most enjoyable one at an affordable rate. Whether you stay week or a month you will have a clean comfortable well equipped apartment for your stay. Sincerely, Dennis and Janet

Wonderful!

We had a lovely stay at this property! The location was perfect, just a quick walk to the beach and surrounded by many shops and restaurants! The property manager was very helpful when we needed to store our bags before checkin as well as accommodating our need for a late check out! Definitely recommend!

Nice place for a couple to stay. Short distance from the beach, unit was clean and had all the necessities and then some. Walking distance from both piers. Garage is small and a sedan won't fit. (Car rental companies fault, not the hosts.) Just noting as street parking can add up, so make sure you get a true compact if you want to avoid the hassle.

Nice Studio!

I stayed here for a week while visiting family in the area. This studio, while basic, had everything I needed and is great for one person. It was clean and the owners communicated well. I had no problem finding convenient street parking. I would stay here again.

Great Location!

The check in/out process was so easy, well stocked and we loved the location right between the Ocean and Bay, we watched the boat parade right behind the Unit. I would however suggest having a couple blankets stocked in the Closet, it got a bit chilly at night. I would definitely recommend this Unit and come back to stay again.
