Month Long Get Away

I found the property to be very comfortable for my month long get away. I was working remotely during my stay and the wifi worked without a problem. Balboa Island is lovely and very walkable. I was able to walk around the Island to shopping and restaurants. I took the Ferry to the Balboa peninsula to walk on the beach and watch the sunset.

Wonderful apartment that feels like a private cottage

Cute apartment with a nice rooftop deck. Looks just like the pictures. Feels more like a cottage with the beamed ceilings in the living room. Comfy bed, fast wifi, pleasant kitchen and bathroom. Garage parking was great to have. Note that only smaller cars/suvs will fit. Excellent communication with the host. Will rent again!

Quiet Lovely Retreat

The apartment was lovely with nice upgrades and all needed amenities. It has a nice private patio and is close to the water and Balboa walking path. Just a short walk to the ferry. The bed was super comfortable and we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Great vacation house

The house was very comfortable, especially the large king bed. It was nice to have the option for A/C which isn’t always available. The kitchen is well stocked and we appreciated having beach chairs and towels to use. Access to the garage was also a huge plus with limited island parking. The host was very attentive and friendly!

Lovely stay in Balboa Island

We loved our stay here, the accommodation was very comfortable and in a great location. Check in was easy and the host very communicative. Although our truck was too large to fit in the garage, we always found street parking nearby. Just a small thing to note, you are expected to wash and dry the towels before you leave which is a slight inconvenience as check out is 10 am. However, we would happily stay here again.

Retirement kick-off!

Our stay started the day my fiancé retired! The property, including the rooftop deck, was spacious, clean, and very well appointed. Besides rooftop relaxing, we also enjoyed our Bayfront walks, biking via ferry along the peninsula, beach sitting, Marine Ave, and local restaurants featuring live music... Highly recommend!

Adorable Place

Overall the apartment was great! Clean & modern. A few items were missing from the kitchen (can opener, colander, measuring spoons & a clothes iron to name a few) but we managed. The outdoor space was wonderful! Wish we could've checked in a little earlier.

Not even a Hurricane could ruin our stay

Our stay was great and the house was perfect for our needs. It was clean, had a great location and was just as advertised. Yes that is correct, we stayed here when Hurricane Hillary came through. Thought about going home early but then stayed. We had no issue and still had a great vacation. Thank you Pat

Location Location Location

This is a perfect location to explore Balboa & the surrounding area. Host is lovely & welcoming. Unit is clean, well stocked & the bed is very comfortable. Having the garage is a big plus (a large cars or truck wouldn't fit). We enjoyed walking the island in the am, walking to main st restaurants (10 min), taking the ferry (5 min walk). Quiet neighborhood. The unit is an upstairs back unit with 16 steps so not accessible for someone who is not mobile (we're 70 & had no problems but a wheelchair or inability to climb steps wouldn't work). We visit the area frequently & would definitely stay again.

Great location, very nice unit

This property is really nice. It's very close to the beach and just a 8-10 minute walk to downtown. It has a nice little sitting area deck where you can sit out or have meals. Guests should know that you're required to dump all garbage and wash & dry all towels before you leave. Not a huge deal, but a little more work than other rentals I've stayed at. The host is very responsive and will promptly fix anything you need fixing. I believe it's a new listing, and while there were some minor things that needed maintenance, the host assured me that they will be addressed before the next guest. I'm sure the property will be a "5" for the next guest, but my rating reflects how my daughter and I experienced it as we first arrived.

Clean 2nd story Balboa Island condo

This was a nice clean 2nd story back condo. There is garage parking if you have a smaller car or SUV. We were there on a busy holiday weekend and there was street parking near the front over the weekend. The owner had excellent communication and actually texted and called us. That made it very easy to get questions answered. The above ground patio give a neat perspective and you can see around better. Place is clean and nice and was close the bay beach if you want to play in the canal sand. We hung out there and the kids had fun. The owner was very accommodating for our situation last minute. Thank you!

Exceeded Expectations- Perfect Balboa Island Retreat

This was my second stay on Balboa Island at this property, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations! The open floor plan of the rental was fantastic, providing a spacious and comfortable environment. I loved the seamless flow and the abundance of natural light that filled the space. The outdoor patio with a BBQ was a true gem. It was so enjoyable to spend time there, whether it was grilling delicious meals or simply unwinding with a drink. The ample space and cozy seating made it perfect for relaxing and taking in the beautiful surroundings. The cleanliness of the rental was impeccable, and I truly appreciated the attention to detail. Everything was well-maintained and spotless, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The location of the rental was ideal. Balboa Island offers a delightful atmosphere, and being within walking distance of its attractions was a huge plus. I loved exploring the charming shops and indulging in the local cuisine. The owner was incredibly responsive and accommodating. Any questions or requests I had were promptly addressed, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable stay. I highly recommend this rental for anyone seeking a perfect island getaway.

Great spot on Balboa

Absolutely fabulous location with lots of extra perks. Ruby Street beach (main swimming beach on Balboa) is just a block away and we spent many hours there with our kids. The kitchen is extremely well equipped- eveyrthing we needed was there. In addition to the regular coffee maker, there was also a Keurig, which was a real plus. Lots of great pots/pans, cleaning supplies, dishwasher tabs and all new appliances. The AC in the unit was a real treat as well. The garage is fantastic and so convenient. Street parking is also not bad if you have a second vehicle or if your car is too large for the garage. (Note- the garage, while spacious for Balboa, might be challenging if you have a large vehicle. Our Toyota Camry barely fit in the length. ) The ferry is just a few blocks down the road and my kids loved going down there and catching it to the Fun Zone. The apartment is compact but very thoughtfully laid out and lots of closet and storage space. The new washer and dryer were also fantastic. The owner has thoughtful included beach towels and chairs so one less thing to pack. We definitely want to come back!
