Petite île de Balboa, maison personnalisée avec vue sur l'eau, classée n ° 1 (SORT: Évaluation des clients)
Veuillez lire N'IMPORTE QUEL des 65 avis cinq étoiles unanimes que nous avons reçus en moins de quatre ans sur VRBO; ou trier par "Évaluation des clients" qui classe Casa la Pina # 1 sur plus de 300 locations que VRBO agrège par erreur dans une recherche de "l'île de Balboa", y compris les propriétés de Costa Mesa à Corona Del Mar et la péninsule de Balboa (PAS l'île) . LES LOCATAIRES ATTENTION: SEULEMENT environ 100 de ces 300+ propriétés sont en fait sur l'île de Balboa!
L'une ou l'autre méthode ci-dessus raconte l'histoire de cette exceptionnelle maison personnalisée de 4 chambres / 3. 5 salles de bain avec vue sur l'eau, à seulement 50 mètres du front de mer dans trois directions, à l'angle sud-est de "Little" Balboa Island. Conçu par le célèbre architecte local Ian Harrison et construit en 2004, notre maison de Cape Cod offre le meilleur de l'île de Balboa. Situé à moins d'un quart de mile (3 pâtés de maisons) de l'avenue Marine où des pâtés de maisons de boutiques et de restaurants ravissants proposent des commerces de détail dans la région depuis plus de 100 ans.
Notre maison n'est PAS votre "location de plage" de base usée et déchirée et n'est peut-être pas la meilleure maison pour les familles avec beaucoup de jeunes enfants. La propriété comprend une conception, une construction, des électroménagers, des finitions et un mobilier haut de gamme. Nous offrons des planchers de bois franc à planches larges au rez-de-chaussée, des plafonds de neuf pieds ou plus dans toute la maison, un système de son surround «ultramoderne» 7. 1 avec un téléviseur haute définition de 55 po dans le salon, ainsi que un système de climatisation contrôlé par Nest à trois zones (la climatisation est rare parmi les locations de vacances sur l'île de Balboa). Un ASCENSEUR est disponible pour les personnes âgées (sur demande) et il y a une buanderie entièrement équipée avec des comptoirs en granit et un évier À L'INTÉRIEUR de la maison (PAS dans le garage comme avec de nombreuses locations sur l'île de Balboa). Nous fournissons également un grand espace de stationnement dans notre garage attenant qui peut accueillir confortablement une voiture pleine grandeur (en face de notre propre voiture que nous laissons souvent couverte dans un garage pour deux voitures très bien rangé); ET il y a un grand parking gratuit dans les rues de Little Balboa Island. De plus, notre maison a une terrasse sur le toit entièrement meublée au troisième étage avec une gamme de vues sur l'eau et l'île Fashion sur le continent.
Nous appelons notre maison "Casa la Pina", ou en anglais, "The Pineapple House", et vous noterez le thème dans notre décoration. Si curieux, Google «sens de l'ananas», car l'ananas a été un signe d'hospitalité remontant à l'époque des grands voiliers lorsque les capitaines de mer ont ramené la délicatesse tropicale dans leurs maisons du nord et les ont laissés sur leur porche en signe de leur retour et une invitation ouverte aux amis à visiter. Des ananas ont été découverts par Christophe Colomb dans les Caraïbes lors de son premier voyage dans le "Nouveau Monde" et ils restent aujourd'hui un symbole d'accueil dans toute la civilisation occidentale.
Draps et serviettes: draps, oreillers, couettes et couettes de haute qualité (tous lavés par des professionnels) ainsi que serviettes de bain et serviettes de plage; Sont prévus!!!
LOCATAIRES POUR LA PREMIÈRE FOIS: Maintenant que VRBO nous oblige à autoriser la réservation en ligne, nous n'avons que 24 heures pour examiner et approuver les nouveaux locataires qui réservent en ligne et utilisent une carte de crédit. Si vous réservez de cette façon, veuillez fournir des informations générales avec votre demande en ligne (d'où, but de la visite à l'île de Balboa, âge de chaque personne de votre groupe, reconnaissance que vous n'avez AUCUN fumeur ou animal de compagnie dans votre groupe, etc.) .
Veuillez comprendre que nous sommes très fiers de notre propriété et en prenons soin. Veuillez consulter notre liste en détail. Lisez n'importe lequel de nos commentaires. Nous vous promettons une expérience de location exceptionnelle, mais nous voulons en savoir un peu sur nos premiers clients, à l'avance, tout en espérant construire des relations à long terme mutuellement bénéfiques.
VISITE AÉRIENNE: Nous avons ajouté un lien vers une vidéo aérienne (de YouTube) qui a été filmée par un drone pour une maison récemment achevée à quelques portes de chez nous. Nous ne sommes PAS le sujet de la vidéo, mais nous SOMMES situés à proximité dans la même rue et la vidéo donne un excellent aperçu de notre emplacement sur "Little Balboa Island". Nous sommes la maison de Cape Cod gris / blanc avec la terrasse ronde au deuxième étage, en face de la maison avec l'auvent rouge vif. L'auvent rouge est un bon marqueur pour notre maison lorsque vous survolez notre rue.
Il y avait également un autre lien dans notre liste vers une vidéo générale sur l'île de Balboa, mais VRBO l'a supprimée pour une raison inexpliquée. Il dure moins de deux minutes et vous donne un aperçu rapide de la raison pour laquelle l'île de Balboa est l'un des meilleurs et des plus uniques lieux de vacances au monde! Je suis sûr que de nombreuses autres personnes comme celle-ci peuvent toujours être trouvées grâce à une recherche rapide sur Google.

Great property; great location
We rented for a number of days as our family was attending a wedding in the area. The house is wonderful - well appointed, clean, great layout, extremely comfortable for 3 families to be together. The downstairs kitchen and living room were very well set up and very relaxing, making our stay much more enjoyable! The bedrooms were all comfortable and it made it easy for all of us to be in the same place and have our own space at the same time.

We visit Balboa Island, at least twice a year to see family. Our visit to this house on Little Balboa Island did not disappoint. Everything you could possibly need was available in the home. The home was inviting with personalized touches which I always appreciate. I would say communication with the owners was excellent and only needed for one question we had. We would definitely stay again in this lovely home and in the future

One of the highlights of our vacation was staying at this beautifully well kept and charming home. We generally don't love staying in someone else's home (due to cleanliness issues and conditions of property) but we're happy to find ourselves feeling right at home from the start.

Casa la Pina is a beautiful, comfortable, gorgeously decorated house. We rented it for the weekend to celebrate my 50th birthday. Friends were able to stop by for a drink and a visit on the large patio. The house was very clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. We barbequed, used the outdoor shower to wash off the sand from the beach. Had a lovely dinner at the large dining table, etc. The beds are very comfortable.

Impeccable Accomodations !!
The Pineapple house was truly immaculate. Mark was wonderful and always there for our every email. Added bonus that the inside AND outside of the house were decorated for the holidays. Superb decorations from restoration hardware really did the trick. All beds were very comfy and everything was especially quiet at night. Spent the majority of time on the couch in front of the fireplace, or right outside on the patio. Island parking is somewhat tough, but not here as two full size SUV's fit in garage with ample room to spare.

Glad you liked our Christmas decorations too! Admittedly, we did that for ourselves, but are glad that our tenants can enjoy them too. We were pleased to get an "honorable mention" from the judges in our first year in the island's annual home decorating contest. However, my wife and I have resolved to do better next year, although we recognize that we face very stiff competition. The Holidays are such an incredible time of the year on BI!
We hope you'll return someday, and remember, returning guests get discounts from our advertised rates!

Excellent place to stay
Absolutely perfect home. Very clean. Not a place for young kids because you are on a small island and close to neighbors. Also this house has recently been remodeled and has all new things. The owners got back with us right away with our questions. Beds r so comfortable, love the shower pressure and temperature. Kitchen is stocked with spices and great cookware. Great magazines to read while on the balcony. New bikes and backpack beach chairs we perfect for spending the day at the beach. Very organized. Love the fact the door locks with a code, so you do not have to worry about a key. Nice to have garage to park in.

Amazing home on Little Balboa Island!
Five girlfriends and myself spent a few wonderful days at Casa la Pina (The Pineapple House). The owners, Mark and Cindy, were wonderful to work with, and quick to respond to all of our inquiries. Their home is very clean and beautifully decorated, but also very comfortable and cozy. It was plenty big enough for the 6 of us. We especially liked the quiet neighborhood and the close proximity to the water and walking distance to the shops and restaurants in town. There are several patios at the home. We enjoyed the upper, private patio as well as the front patio where there is a lovely gas fire pit. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are looking into planning another trip there in the future. Mark and Cindy, thanks for providing such a lovely home and making our stay memorable. We will be back!

Great property with Fantastic views seconds from the water
Planned a couples weekend here for six so that everyone could get together for some downtime. We were not disappointed. Sitting by the fire pit on the front patio was a great way to relax and cleanse the work week away, while there is a great sundeck on the third floor with more privacy and great views.
Being on Little Balboa is certainly a plus. The house is seconds from the water. We used the public dock right around the corner to launch the stand up paddle boards we rented and tour around the island. Also, its just a couple minutes walk to the main street with plentiful bars, restaurants, a local market, and all the frozen bananas you can eat. We didn't use any of our cars once the entire weekend, which is exactly what was needed.
I would certainly recommend a stay here for whatever the occasion.

Perfect Beach Vacation Retreat
We just loved our stay at Casa La Piña. All the previous reviews attracted us to this property and we were not disappointed. It does not feel like a rental property, it feels like a home, but it could be anyone's as there are no signs of who lives there beyond the "pineapple" theme in the decor. We got a kick out of discovering pineapple decorating items throughout the home - a nice touch and so much fun.
We are not the first to say it, but this home is the best there is on Balboa Island. It is a beautiful home in a great location near the village where all the shops and restaurants are located, but not too close. It's also very near the water on the southern bay front and the walkway that circles the island. The house itself is extremely nice and well maintained with everything you can think of in a luxury property. It is perfect & we intend to make this an annual family beach vacation retreat!

You might be amused to know that we picked up the pineapple theme when we lived in New England many years ago. We thought its application to a Cape Cod home near the ocean was an appropriate use of the historic emblem of welcome and hospitality. We’ve enjoyed finding new, and frequently small ways, to use pineapple decor items throughout our home. We’re glad you got a kick out of it....

Grad Week!
As a Newport native old-timer, and needing a place for home base for my son's recent college graduation, the house on Jade was the perfect solution last week. It was such a treat to "live" on the 'Little Island" !
For those who are not familiar with the area, the "Little Island" is the oasis off the hectic, often crowded with tourists larger main island.The house was immaculate, very well appointed with every detail thoughtfully attended to and lots of useful information provided everywhere.
It is the perfect setting for family gatherings as there are plenty of beds, bathrooms and a fully stocked kitchen for all kinds of entertaining. We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings! Mark and Cindy were great to work with and were always so prompt with responses. I would highly recommend 115 Jade as a top consideration when deciding on a place to enjoy a Newport Beach/Balboa Island. Will definitely return!

Wonderful house, perfect location
This is a beautiful house, just like the pictures show. The details of this home are wonderful and it feels like your own home not like most rental homes. The house is so well maintained and does not feel like a worn rental house. It has a great layout with all the bedrooms upstairs and the living spaces downstairs. The master bedroom is very spacious and the 1 year old in our family was able to sleep in his portable crib in the walk in closet in the master. It's like another bedroom for an infant which is very helpful. My 9 & 12 year olds loved the bunk beds on the 3rd floor. There was plenty of space for the 9 of us.
The house location on "little" Balboa Island was so convenient and peaceful. There are less people driving and biking on little Balboa and we felt quite spoiled there. The house is only a 2 block walk to the main street with shops & restaurants. And we spent most evenings on the front patio with wine & cheese, enjoying the firepit. Mark was a wonderful host and very communicative upfront and during our stay with any questions. We will definitely be back again!

Above and Beyond Other Rentals
My wife and I are very experienced in renting vacation properties. We have rented properties up and down the beach from LA to San Diego and in the Palm Springs CA area. We have worked with various agencies and property owners.
I can easily declare that our Thanksgiving Holiday stay at this property was probably the best rental experience we have ever had.
The quality of accommodations was outstanding. Everything from the first class bed linens and towels to the well stocked, modern kitchen to the comfortable family room/sitting area was enjoyed by our family of six adults and two small children. There are beautiful outdoor seating areas and a clean and spacious garage. This property is clearly a step above the typical Newport Beach/Balboa area rental. Our whole group agreed that this was the cleanest and best maintained property we have ever rented.
Another important factor for us when we rent a property is our level of trust and communication with the property owner. Mark was amazing to work with and he made the process so simple and efficient. He provided us with excellent instructions on the property and he gave us great local tips. Mark was a joy to work with.
It goes without saying...this will be our "go-to" property the next time we are looking to rent a place in the Newport Beach area.

Thanks so much for a thorough and thoughtful review. We very much appreciate the effort to write such extensive review, and of course the high praise is nice to hear. Cindy and I work hard to make Casa la Piña THE best rental property in the area, and reviews like yours make us feel like we’re on the right track!
À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Mark & Cindy
We both grew up back East, but have now lived in California for more than 35 years and both our children are natives. We always dreamt of living on Balboa Island, but only since semi-retirement could manage a home on the island. We've not been disappointed! The only difficult thing is leaving the Island from time to time...

You can decide for yourself, but "Little" Balboa is truly special. While part of what is commonly called Balboa Island, it is its own separate island across the "Grand Canal" and a second bridge. Originally planned to be a small island with casinos and hotels similar to Monaco; that concept did not prove feasible and more housing was added to Little Balboa Island in the 1920's instead. In fact, one of those charming houses, built in 1926, remains today just three doors down from us. Somewhere along the line, the residents of Little Balboa got together and agreed to bury utility lines and add miniature light houses, making the well-located island all the more beautiful. The main island can't seem to agree on how to do similarly, but we're rooting for them!
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
Casa la Piña is a custom home designed by a noted local architect and built with the finest of materials and craftsmanship in 2004. It incorporates the latest in technology including an elevator, four-zone air conditioning, and surround sound theatre system. This house was not built to be a "vacation rental"; it was built to be a primary residence. We have respected that philosophy by furnishing and maintaining our home with the same orientation to quality and good taste.
This is not your basic "beach house" rental; we like to think it is casual coastal living with a designer's approach. If you are looking for a beach house to trash for a week with an owner that won't mind, please look elsewhere. We were young once, and raised two great kids, so we completely understand the process. However, are now at a stage of life where we take care of and enjoy quality finishes that are well maintained, and we hope you do too!
With all that said, if you like the finer things in life, you will LOVE our home and its location. Short of being ON the water, it does not get any better anywhere on the island. We are a short walk to Marine Avenue’s retail amenities, with water views from all three floors, while on the nicest corner of the entire island - equi-distant and just steps to the water in three directions. One of those directions yields a public dock for fishing and/or boating.
