This place truly is a gem! This is our second time staying here and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. The location is amazing so we were able to walk everywhere. Everything inside the home was spotless - even the barbecue grill outside. The rooms are spacious and the beds are incredibly comfortable. Thick, plush towels in the bathrooms are always so appreciated as well.We loved everything about this place and are already looking to book our next day. The hosts are incredible as well. They really care about your experience and it’s clear that they’ve put in the time in effort to make this a luxurious yet comfortable and inviting home away from home. This is absolutely our favorite place on the island!

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 Some of the snacks were out of date so we disposed of them.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.
