The property is ideally located near the South Bay Front with a nice beach and in easy walking distance to Marine for shopping and dining options. Our host Chase was very accommodating and helpful. The property was spotless upon arrival and just as depicted in the photos, quite comfortable for two people. It was so quiet at night and easy to sleep with the windows open for that fresh ocean air!

The location of the apartment can’t be beat. It is only a handful of houses from the water and a short walk from downtown. If you don’t plan to leave Balboa you do not need a rental car. The place itself is laid out perfectly for a small family, friends or a couple. The beds are comfy, the bathroom nicely appointed, the living room is spacious enough for five to hang out around the fire. The kitchen has most everything you need to cook a simple meal. The only wish was to have more of a dining room set up on the deck rather than a sitting area. There are fantastic beach chairs and beach towels available which made her time by the water very relaxing. We did have a rental car and parking was a breeze. I will definitely be back again and cannot recommend this place enough !

We had a great stay at this cottage on the Island. It was so perfect for us! Having much more space than a just a hotel room, a fully stocked kitchen, even a Brita water pitcher in the fridge plus the outdoor deck was such a bonus for morning coffee and evening wine! Will definitely stay here again. The owner was so easy to work with also!

This is my second visit at Mariners cottage. This time it was a couple of weeks before Christmas. The weather was warm with hardly a breeze. The homes were festive and beautifully decorated for the holiday season. The cottage itself remains comfortable and functional. The beds and linen were amazing. The community is very dog friendly and you are always met with a hello or good morning on your walk.It’s a beautiful place to reflect and be thankful. Chase makes the experience easy and he’s very on top of things.

Best Cottage on Balboa Island

I’ve been staying on Balboa Island at least 3 times a year for the past 30 years, and this updated cottage is one of the best beach cottages my wife and I have ever rented! Excellent price point and a beautiful remodel with a lot of space for two adults.
