Two bedroom downstairs unit five houses from the beach on Balboa Island. Five minute walk to the Balboa Ferry to access the famous Balboa Fun Zone. Cruiser bicycles and beach toys (boogie boards, surf boards, beach chairs, umbrellas) on site. Perfect place to relax on a peaceful, quiet street.
I was very impressed with the cleanliness and accuracy of the listing! The owner was really friendly and respectable. I had an amazing time at the property and they made sure I had everything to make sure my stay was enjoyable!!

Cute place, Best location
We loved our stay. Maybe slightly overpriced given the overall state of the aging property but the location is a win.

Very charming and great location
We really enjoyed this lovely gem. The hosts were very generous in making sure we had everything we needed from beach chairs to beach cruisers. The ferry is very close and it’s also a short walk to Marine Ave. where all the shops and restaurants are. We hope to return here every time we visit OC.

Inexpensive Balboa island Accommodations
While we always enjoy our visits to Balboa, our overriding impression for this property was that it’s excellent location deserves better maintenance and more thoughtful furnishings and decor.

We’ve stayed at the Ruby house two summers in a row, and we hope to be back. It’s the perfect size and location for our annual trip to Balboa. Patricia and Andrew are attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend this property!

Great place, perfect location.
It was everything we expected and more. The check-in was very easy. The location was amazing. It’s definitely a quiet place to be at night. We walked and rode their bikes around the island a few times, and loved it! Riding the car/passenger ferry to the beaches was easy and cheap, a must do!
I would definitely stay there again.

Great place on Balboa Island!
My 3 kids and I stayed for 3 nights. The owner's are very helpful and friendly. There are bikes, boogie boards, beach toys, beach towels, etc. to use - and made our stay easy. It is a classic Balboa Island cottage - which I find charming. They have thought of everything to make the stay easy! There is a great outdoor patio for cocktail hour.

Ruby relaxation
Great location on the island with a nice outdoor patio too! It was perfect for my husband and me.
Although the 2nd bathroom is not inside the house,(just down the walkway) it wasn't an issue for us at all. Loved that they had beach bikes for us and that we could use them anytime!
Patricia and Andrew were very thoughtful hosts and very easy to work with!

Nice little rental
The downstairs apartment was cute and perfect for a 3 night getaway with my sister. My bed a very comfortable, the dining table provided a place to set up a computer to work, the kitchen was well stocked but tiny, a dishwasher would have been nice to ensure that the dishes were actually thoroughly cleaned between renters. Our favorite area was the outside patio where we enjoyed morning breakfast and evening cocktails. The owners, who live upstairs, were very nice and friendly. The house is located steps from the bay and it was a quiet street. It should be noted that there is a rather large step down into the small shower which would make this difficult if not impossible for someone with mobility or balance problems.

Upgrade needed
We were disappointed to find the second bathroom was outside. My friend and I were expecting to have our own bathrooms. The living area and general decor were attractive but the kitchen needed updating for example no vent or functioning light above the cooker. The double bedroom was cramped. The owner is planning an upgrade which would be great since the location of the property is perfect.

Cute apartment in great location!
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It is a cute apartment in a great location on Balboa Island, a few blocks from the quaint downtown and a couple of blocks from the ferry and steps from the water. The owners live upstairs and are helpful should you have any issues or questions. Parking was easy on the street. We used the bikes, and they worked well. The bathroom and kitchen are a bit retro and bathroom is on the smaller side, but it was totally fine for us. The only real negative for me was that on Thursday and Friday at 7 or 8 am, I was woken by planes flying overhead (as I think John Wayne Airport is nearby). My husband wasn't bothered at all. I am a light sleeper and he isn't. It didn't happen on Saturday morning thankfully. Just something to consider if you are a super light sleeper and noise freak like me. All in all, I really enjoyed our time at this property.

Family Friendly
We had such a wonderful stay at this very family friendly condo, our kids loved the single beds and the host spared no expense on all the details! This house had EVERYTHING thought out so well and the kitchen is STOCKED!! The hosts that live right up stairs in this two unit building, even left a fresh bag of coffee and filters for us! We would definitely book again if we are in the area!! 💜

Balboa getaway
The location and value of the cottage were great! We had some trouble with the plumbing. And the stovetop was hard to get started. I also would recommend another comforter in the master. The duvet cover got all mixed up. Other than those minor problems, we would highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay at the property. Would highly recommend. The island is small, so you can walk anywhere, and we would recommend walking into town via the path close to the water.
