Greg was a fantastic host and his home was perfect for our family. Plenty of room to spread out and centrally located to make walks and access super easy! The rooftop deck and backyard patio on the canal were just bonuses.

About the host

We have been HomeAway members since 2011.

Why they chose this property

Our family LOVES Southern California, and all the great things to do here! We have owned this home for over 20 years, and it has been passed from one generation to the next. Balboa Island is a very special place and we are sure you will enjoy it!

What makes this property unique

With large skylights in the Master Bedroom and upstairs hallway, comfortable dining area, roof deck, private dock with a small beach area, and a living room and patio alongside the water, we knew this was the property on the Island that we wanted to own. Superb location with lots of morning sunshine in the bedrooms and a short walk to the downtown and harbor and beach areas as well.
