We loved our girls’ weekend staying at this beautiful home. It was very spacious and clean. The friendly hosts were onsite and very helpful in recommending restaurants and giving us local tips. The location was in walking distance to restaurants and shops. We also really appreciated the beach chairs and umbrellas that they had there for us to use. We would love to stay here again!

The hosts were very welcoming. The unit was updated, clean, organized, it had everything you would need for your vacation. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were high-quality. We didn’t do any cooking, but if you did, the appliances are wonderful. There were three televisions( one in each bedroom and a big one in the living room. There is a wonderful outdoor seating area outside as well as a grill. We especially enjoyed having a carport. Thank you for such a wonderful unit for our visit.

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!
