Amazing Island Property

This property is newly remodeled and walkable to the cute main shopping street (Marine Ave), a delicious Mexican restaurant, bay beach (great for little kids), and a small playground/basketball court. It's also near the ferry which takes you to the Balboa Penninsula. I highly recommend staying here!

Balboa Island Retreat

Wonderful from start to finish! Easy check in, host was very helpful and accommodating, clean and stocked with so many pluses. Beach chairs, beach towels, an outdoor beach shower, laundry in unit, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The outdoor eating/sitting area was lovely and the location is ideal - close to everything. We brought our 17 year old son and 3 friends here for spring break and it was so much fun! Thank you!!

Wonderful month on Balboa Island!

My husband and I spent the month of January at this beautiful Balboa Island property and could not have been happier with our experience! The home is decorated beautifully and is fully equipped with anything you need to feel at home and comfortable. We especially enjoyed using the outdoor patio area and grill. The owners were extremely helpful and pleasant. The location was perfect! Highly recommended!Mary and Paul Simonetti

Great week on Balboa Island.

Had a great week staying with my girlfriend & Mixed Doubles partner at Pasqual’s Balboa Island VRBO while playing in a Pickleball Tournament in Newport Beach. Comfortable, tastefully decorated place with well-stocked kitchen & beach chairs, umbrellas etc. Enjoyed walking to restaurants & to watch sunsets. Took Ferry to Balboa Peninsula which is just 1 block away!

Quick family reunion

The place was decorated so beautifully. It was very clean, with every amenity imaginable. It’s located close to the Ferry, restaurants, and shopping is within walking distance. Our family is from the area and we felt right at home. The owners were so warm and inviting. They made us feel like a part of their family. We will definitely be back. Loved meeting them and staying at their vacation home. Highly recommend to everyone!!
