"A terrific property and a wonderful host. We’ll be back!"

"They had clean sheets, clean towels and the mattress was clean. The gentleman who brought the refrigerator was kind."

"Staff were helpful."

"Clean room and property. Very annoying trying to get in and out of valet at night as the lobby bar here is a local watering hole. Valet charges are insane @$74 a night and takes 15-20 mins to get vehicle each time. Worst part is the people coming aren’t even staying at the hotel they live close by and are clogging up valet bad. Coffee bar downstairs is convenient in the AM but also over priced."

"Perfect location! That’s what we loved most about this visit - the ability to walk out the door onto the strand and beach. We loved being down the peninsula a little more so that you didn’t get quite as much traffic rolling past. Do know that you will get street noise. Unavoidable as there is only one Main Street up and down balboa peninsula. And the windows on the street side are super thin - so you can sleep with them open or closed - doesn’t matter because they are so thin, when closed it sounds like they are open! To be expected though. Kitchen had everything we needed. Primary suite was fantastic. A couple of inaccurate advertisements for the house. It says Nespresso for coffee so we bought based on that information. Turned out it is a Keurig at that house. Also, it says no bikes there but there were 4 beach cruisers in the garage. AvantStay was a good property manager. They encourage (to be read - require) you to shift over from Vrbo to their platform for the trip - filling out forms, communication, etc. it’s a good platform, but really - if you advertise on Vrbo, it’s nice to use, and expect to be able to use that platform. The place was clean when we got there but expect a heavy dose of cleaning solution smell for the first day/night. It was intense. The house itself is pretty beat up. It’s a rental so it is par for the course. But lots of nicks on the walls and just a little rough around the edges for the price. But it would not deter us from staying there again. "

"The place was beautiful & comfy, a 5-10 minute walk to the beach, lovely porch, roomy and accommodating.. "

"The location of the apartment can’t be beat. It is only a handful of houses from the water and a short walk from downtown. If you don’t plan to leave Balboa you do not need a rental car. The place itself is laid out perfectly for a small family, friends or a couple. The beds are comfy, the bathroom nicely appointed, the living room is spacious enough for five to hang out around the fire. The kitchen has most everything you need to cook a simple meal. The only wish was to have more of a dining room set up on the deck rather than a sitting area. There are fantastic beach chairs and beach towels available which made her time by the water very relaxing. We did have a rental car and parking was a breeze. I will definitely be back again and cannot recommend this place enough ! "

"Enjoyed our time!"

"I really enjoyed my stay here. The home was very clean and very cozy. I will definitely be booking it again when I’m in the area."
