About this property
☀️3 Bedroom Beach cottage on Balboa Island.. 1 block to sand ⛱️
This cottage is close to the beach & family friendly. The location is perfect and the cozy cottage feel is warm and relaxing. It is great for couples or families(with kids of all ages). A beach cottage for sure! 1/2 block to all shops, restaurants & water is 1 block in either direction.
This rental is street level with a wonderful front patio perfect for grilling and relaxing on one of our Adirondack /rocking chairs. Step inside through the Dutch front door and you have a spacious living room. All 3 bedrooms have ceiling fans. This is a 3 bedroom and 1 very large bath with a large shower and double sinks. It has a galley kitchen, breakfast room and living room. Very light and bright, a perfect location to access everything on the island! Our unit sleeps up to 7 people. 3 queens, as well as one queen memory foam sleeper sofa in the living room . The owners have the upstairs for their family, but it is separate in every way. Balboa Island is the perfect beach vacation! One block either direction to water where paddle boarding is a must! The island is made for walking and biking. A short walk to the ferry takes you right to the sand where you can surf and boogie board. No need to drive at all! Everything is right here just waiting for you.

About the host
Hosted by Lori Cuccia
Born and raised in sunny Southern California! We have loved Balboa Island for years as renters and decided to become owners and give back the joy we have gained from years of vacationing here at the beach to others. The charming safe feeling this island has is unique and peaceful. A vacation is a long awaited moment of stepping away from the hustle and bustle and refueling. We want to provide just that for anyone who rents here.
Why they chose this property
LOCATION!! Ease of renting...one floor, white picket fenced in front patio with seating, umbrellas and BBQ! HUGE living room for fun! Ceiling fans throughout...walking distance to shops and restaurants, sand, water and beach!
What makes this property unique
The bright cheery feeling from the moment you see this property is the essence of a beach rental! A prime location in the very center of everything you came for.
