Ideal location on very quaint Balboa Island

Far enough from the main commercial street to provide a sense of serenity, but a very easy walk to the shops, restaurants, etc., and an even easier stroll to the water!

Great Spot for Family Vacation

Nice two-bedroom unit, perfect for 2-4 persons with plenty of common areas for meals and lounging. Centrally located on Balboa Island, short walks to waterfront and shopping / dining areas. We had a great stay!

Great little spot!

If you are looking for a place to just park your car for the trip, this is it as everything you'll need for a restful and enjoyable time away can be walked to. If you want to venture out further, the ferry can take you over to the main beach boardwalk and even more things to enjoy.

Great spring break! Perfect location!

This place is super clean & has great light! We loved this location- super close to downtown in one direction, and the ferry in the other direction! Garage is fully stocked with beach chairs/toys, wagon! Plenty of space to park our car or the overnight bikes we rented! Would happily return!

Great Family Get Away

The property is very cute and well appointed! It’s close to Marine Avenue and walking distance to the ferry. It was great to have garage parking and a washer/dryer as well. We would stay here again! 😀

Great Balboa stay

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and had a wonderful trip. Great location and makes most places walkable or rideable by bike. Will definitely be staying here again. Only complaint I would have is that beach towels weren’t provided as they had been in the past, but there was plenty of beach equipment to use in the garage.

Terrific Property

Everything was first rate. Very comfortable overall. Property management was kind and responsive to our messages. If I had one suggestion, I would say that it would be to have more soap and shampoo for a 4 night stay.

Balboa Island Getaway

Perfect Balboa Island location. Easy access to restaurants, ferry and beaches. The unit had nice upgrades and new appliances. Very clean. Close to other houses so with the windows open you can hear others but things quiet down early. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic Island Condo

This 2 bedroom condo is a great get away. We actually parked our car in the attached garage and did not move it till we left. Everything is within walking distance--shopping, eating, kayaking and jogging/walking around the 2 mile of the island. The condo was clean with a large living/dining/kitchen area. I would go back in a minute!!!

Great location

This property has a great location… walking distance to everything. As with most places on the island… no A/C Which was expected. However, the apartment was stifling upon arrival and never really cooled off enough to be comfortable. There were lots of fans which helped somewhat… we just hit a very hot stretch of weather.

2nd time around

Great location, possibilities are much greater than the experience. Couch was stained as were all the carpets and chairs. Ended up washing the couch cushions. Stayed there last year and had a much better experience. Mia communication on the garage space. Both units were given the same code for only one of the two garages. Not as pleasant as it was last year. Little TLC will clean that up.
