There is nothing like the charm and location of Balboa Island. This lovely front house was totally renovated this year while preserving the feel of the original structure. It is located on the sunny side of the street with a very large patio, including a BBQ, dining and sitting areas. There are new windows, wood floors and drywall throughout. A large opening skylight in the stairway brightens the whole house. The living room has a working gas fireplace and surround sound speakers that extend to the patio. Furnished with all new comfy beds, linens and furniture. Large flat screen TVS in living room and all bedrooms. Master suite with newly added master bath and king bed with sitting area. Second bedroom with King bed, and third bedroom with 2 double trundles and twin beds below, when beds are all being used, the room is all bed, but can sleep 4 teenagers or 4-6 children. All new, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, that is perfect for cooking and entertaining. Three paddle boards, five adult and 2 childrens bikes, 3 kayak, razors, a baby pool, and beach chairs, umbrellas are ready for your use. All linens and towels included. Washer/dryer and parking for one car in garage, also an outdoor shower. We have furnished this house for our use, as well as our guests, so hope you will enjoy!!

Thanksgiving

We loved this house and location. There was plenty of space for our group and an amazing location - close to shopping/dining on Marine, just a few houses away from the water - but private as you are not right on the water. The kitchen was stocked as well! It was an overall great experience!

The house was great especially with the large front patio.

Renting from Sheila was a great experience. She was friendly and very helpful especially when I locked us out and she sent her son to unlock it for us very fast.

5 stars all the way!

Everything about this house is 5 stars! The location is great, just a couple blocks from Marine Blvd and a few houses from the beach. The house is beautifully redone and comes stocked with everything you could need. The beds are incredibly comfortable. We appreciated having the bikes to rides. Sheila was so easy to work with. This was the perfect place for a "Moms" getaway! We will definitely stay here again!

Excellent Home on Balboa Island

Great older home on Balboa Island, all redone and so cute. The home was spotless and all the amenities were well thought out. The communication with the owner was excellent. Sheila welcomed us via message and gave us tips on the boat parade. The only small issues were the heater controller we always had to adjust and the hot water takes a LONG time to get to each area of the house. Would definitely recommend the home to others and will stay there again when in the area. Thanks for a great vacation!

Absolutely perfect house!

The house is in an ideal area where you can walk to everything and with their bikes, it makes going to the Peninsula and beach so easy! We loved sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine at night and truly enjoying the beauty of the island. Perfect for a family or a romantic getaway.
