Chase is a great host. The property is exactly as depicted. The kitchen is well equipped with pot, pans, dishes and utensils. Having private parking on the island is a gigantic plus. We were very comfortable during our week’s stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

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!

I loved my stay here. It was really cute and clean. I also appreciated all the storage. The owners really made sure everything was covered for your stay, like shower essentials, dishes, etc. They also made communication super easy and provided very clear instructions. My only complaint was the noise, which was not anything the owners could control. There were planes flying low at all hours and it was super loud. There is construction going on a nearby house, so there's lots of banging. I would absolutely stay here again and can't wait to do so!

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!
