The perfect place

The accommodations worked so well for our family ranging in age from 4 months to seniors with a couple of teenagers thrown in. Every amenity was available, the decor was done to perfection, the location couldn't be better. We loved sitting on the balcony in beautiful CA sunshine and having our nightly Balboa bars. A great place for large families, we loved it and are coming back!

8 on Onyx

Cheerful and roomy upstairs condo on Balboa Island just one block from the main drag. The unit was clean, spotless and very comfortable. We were sad to leave one day early due to high ocean waves the following day. It’s an occasional stop for us since we arrive by boat.

Vacation !!!

Facility was very nice. The only drawbacks were the stairs to upstairs unit and the access to the parking was very tight. We enjoyed our stay and closeness to Marine Street.

Beautiful Home

We had a wonderful vacation in this beautiful home. The decor was wonderful, the layout was ideal and it had everything we needed. We loved the balcony deck with rockers and how close it was to the marine ave, close to coffee in the morning and shopping on a whim. The beds we very comfortable and bathrooms clean and upscale. We woyld definitely come back to this home.

Holiday Perch On Balboa Island

Spent the Christmas holiday at Ron’s place with family. Second time this year we’ve stayed and we still love it. We’ve rented homes on the island for over 10 years and this home is by far the nicest. It is rare to find 4 bedrooms on the island so this unit is a great find. Will definitely stay again.

Beautiful, comfortable, quiet home!

We loved our stay at this beautiful, clean, quiet home. I wish I could give ten stars for cleanliness - it was like we were the very first people staying at this property - it was immaculate. Everything was comfortable and spacious. And SO quiet! Location can't be beat - you are a block from the main drag, and a ten minute walk to the ferry. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Wonderful property!

We stayed at 8 on Onyx for a family trip with a 4 year old, teens, and adults and we had the best time! The location was perfect for shopping and going out to eat, the walk to the ferry was easy also. The property was beautiful, very clean and exactly as described in the posting. We loved everything about the property and will be staying again on our next trip to Balboa! Megan
