All I want to say is I would love to live at this place! Professionally decorated and clean as can be. The location was perfect for all of us as we liked to stroll along the main street. It was such a great house and such friendly neighbors!

This is a wonderful property. It's very clean and the furniture is comfortable. The owner leaves a bottle of wine and coffee pods which were much appreciated. Some of the snacks were out of date so we disposed of them. The patio and awning are fabulous and we really enjoyed that space. The location is so close to Marine Ave which we love since we tend to eat out instead of cooking. We have spent 3 night weekends several times on Balboa Island and this property was our favorite. I appreciate the availability of short term rental options like this property. We will return here for sure.
Fantastic living space. We have grandkids visiting so this is very comfortable.
