Overall I was pleased with the property and the location. My issue was the TV and cable service. It took 3 days to resolve and the property management was too slow to react.
Location was great, area was quiet yet convenient to amenities. Rental agency was very communicative.

Our place was very clean & was nicely updated. I woulkd recommend adding a smart tv in the bedrooms as well as additional mirrors since there is only 1 bathroom. I would definitely rent here again!

Brandie,
We're glad you enjoyed the home. We will pass these suggestion on the the owner. Hope to see you again. NBVP
We loved our 10 day stay. Location is 1 block from the bay front and ferry, and a 5 minute walk to the Main Street. The upstairs unit was very fresh, clean, and updated. Deck gets great morning sun. The grand kids loved the bunk beds. Garage parking is very valuable on the Island (but extra tall vehicles won’t fit). Property manger was very responsive and immediately solved a problem we had with the heater. We use Balboa Island as our base for Disneyland- it’s only a 20 minute drive if you use the carpool lane. Spectacular area with plenty to do. We’re coming back to this unit again.
We all had a nice time. No hassles, complaints or issues. It was our first VRBO and it worked out well.
