Matt is absolutely the best! And the house is perfect! Home is just a couple houses down from the bay, which is perfect for a morning or afternoon walks ! Also close to downtown area which has special shops and restaurants. The home is decorated to perfection and so comfortable and homey. It has everything we needed for cooking and beds are soft and comfy. We had a family emergency while visiting and needed to extend our visit and Matt was great with extending our stay. I am just happy that his home was available so we didn't have to move somewhere else. I hope we can return in the near future and stay for an extended period! It is truly a "special" place! Thanks Matt for everything!

This was a 5-star experience all the way! Matt was very nice and responsive throughout our whole stay. The location was absolutely perfect. Very close to the beach, Balboa main strip, CDM and Newport. The house itself is in a quiet spot. The house is gorgeous! The layout, decor and details are so well done and just beautiful. We had an amazing trip. If this house is available for your stay, jump on it!

Great time on Balboa!
We were there for 2 weeks, the area is fantastic! We enjoyed walking around the island, found some favorite restaurants & shops & enjoyed meeting the neighbours.
The cottage was nice & clean, great for what we needed. Just a heads up, there are ceiling fans but no AC so keep that in mind if you are a hot sleeper. My only complaint is that the bathrooms are small & suited for shorter people. Overall, our stay was great & the owner was responsive & pleasant to deal with!

Adorable Cottage
This is a really neat home in a wonderful location. It is a few houses from the bay and a short walk to quaint Marine Street with it's restaurants and shops. The house was comfortable and nicely decorated and spotless. We had everything we needed - beach wagon and chairs, kitchen supplies, starter supplies and very comfortable beds. We appreciated the flexibility Matt showed us and really enjoyed out time. I would recommend this property and would stay there again! Thanks!

What a great Host and House!
Our daughter was married in Chicago and my husband and I decided to unwind on Balboa Island for 10 days...such a great place the honeymoon couple decided to join us! I've been coming to Balboa for 70 years and it gets better every time...you won't be disappointed with this house. The couple has moved on to real life....we might be coming back to finally relax. Maybe Christmas parade time. Thanks again....we had a great time!
