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!! 💜

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely little oasis
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!

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!

Loved the Island
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.

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!

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.

Balboa Cottage!
We visited Balboa in 1974 on our first
date! Finally we got back and stayed the week. Hosts were awesome with a Welcome Basket and Bon Voyage gift bag.
All we could need and more was provided. It was particularly nice that unscented bedding towels and laundry soap was provided!

Beautiful stay in beautiful area
We loved staying at the cozy Ruby house. It was perfect after arriving from a long flight from Europe, we could easily adapt to the new surroundings. The beaches are close by, the little ferry was a daily highlight for our toddler and little balboa downtown is always cute for a visit

Perfect Location
We enjoyed our stay at Ruby Relaxation very much. The short stroll to the ferry was great as it gave us easy access to the peninsula restaurants and activities. A stroll in the other direction took us to downtown shops and restaurants. The patio is a wonderful place to relax and we loved sitting on the bayside bench in the evening. You will find you need here and Trisha and Andy were wonderful hosts.
