Remodeled Gem Balboa Island Beach House

Quintessential Balboa Island 2 Bed, 2 Bath beach house centrally located on the island with equal access to Balboa Ferry and historic Marine Avenue. This home features an open, airy living room with high ceilings and plenty of natural light. This downstairs unit was fully remodeled in 2018.

The front patio is perfect for family gatherings. Enjoy comfortable outdoor dining with a patio table and chairs and a BBQ.

Stepping inside, the kitchen has plenty of counter space for preparing food and extra storage. Bedroom 1 has a comfy queen bed with en suite bathroom. Bedroom 2 has a bunk bed with a full size mattress on bottom, twin on top and an en-suite bathroom as well.

This beach house is in prime location on Balboa Island. Go for a walk around the Island and stroll along historic Marine Avenue. Indulge in one of Balboa Island's famous frozen banana or a Balboa Bar. Explore the area via the ferry to visit the Balboa Village on the Peninsula and take in the views of the Balboa Pier.

Whale watching, and deep-sea fishing trips are close by with many boats that leave the Balboa Pavilion daily. On Balboa Island you can relax along the pristine beaches, go surfing nearby, check out the FUN ZONE, and grab a bite to eat at one of the many fine restaurants.

Charming front beach house

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation staying at this charming front beach house on Balboa Island. The location is great, walking distance to coffee & shops. The kitchen is well stocked and it has a nice open layout that works well. It was the perfect spot for our family vacation.

No surprises

This was an excellent location for our stay in Southern California, and the renovated cottage had everything we expected. No surprises is always good! We would stay here again.

Sweet!

This cottage is clean, and equipped with everything you need. The upstairs is over the bottom unit’s bedrooms and you can hear walking around from the bedrooms below. The washer/dryer is a huge plus but the absolute best thing about this place is a driveway for parking two cars. If you’re not familiar with Balboa Island, you will understand once you get there. Parking is a commodity here in these beach cities!

Poor property management

This property is awesome, clean, its been completely renovated and great location. The only negative complaint is the A/C was broken. The owner of the property was at the house when we arrived waiting on the A/C people to show which ended up being a no-show. We contacted the Newport Beach property manager and they refused to help with anything regarding the A/C. The weather was warmer than usual, a window a/c unit would of been reall helpful but nothing was offered. Balboa Island is a frequent vacation spot for us and we will return BUT will not rent from Newport Beach Property. More bath towels are a must!!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental was only steps to the bay and ferry. It was beautifully recently updated. It was fully equipped. The people at the agency were helpful and kind.
