Spring Break in Balboa

We had the best time relaxing at this property. It was perfectly clean and a great setup to enjoy time with family. Our kids loved playing on the sand and we were happy to sit in the sun on the patio watching them. We would definitely visit again.

Great location,* well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, questionable quality linens, uncomfortable seating in LR. Very nice to have garage, though small.*Beautiful view of bay, boats, and overall area. Convenient walk to shopping area, and for exercise; close to local friends and attractions like surfing, Corona Del Mar, Crystal Cove, etc. Close enough drive to Pasadena, Altadena, etc.

Bayfront Sendoff

After living in Orange County for over 50 years, we moved mom to be closer to us in Oregon. This was a trip to say goodbye to friends and family as well as experience Balboa Island from an insiders point of view! This single level, beautiful house did not disappoint!!!!

Loved this little house!

It was comfortable and quiet. We loved sitting on the patio and watching all of the activities going on. Walking distance for everything. 2 very minor issues that were corrected very quickly. I would suggest some kind of window covering for the living room. Not any privacy in the living room. We have stayed on the main Balboa Island several times. This was the first time in Little Island and we loved it. Very kind and caring neighbors. We would love to come and stay again!

Great location.........

We have been renting beach houses for a number of years while visiting friends and family in NB. I think we have found our "go to" house on Little Balboa. The house is incredibly clean and well appointed with ample room for 3 adults. The design of the 2 pairs of bi-fold glass sliders allows the living room area to literally be part of the front patio. Fabulous! Combine the wonderful weather, walks to town (plus garage parking!) and the down-low vibe of East Bayfront, all made for a very memorable week. The only slight negative is the "no-use dock" out front, it would have been handy when renting the Duffy. Regardless, great property and agency!

Gorgeous home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was absolutely perfect for our staycation! It was clean with a fantastic kitchen and lovely outdoor area. It was roomy enough and close to the main drag. It was great to have a garage as well. The only thing I would change would be darker shades in the primary bedroom and the ability to close the door all the way (there was a hanging mirror that prevented it). My infant daughter had a bit of a hard time falling asleep due to the light. We are 100% planning to return!

Beautiful

Beautiful, on-the-water view. Attractive, comfortable house with a great front patio, very well stocked. Garage straight into the house and laundry right inside the house a bonus for Balboa Island. A long mini-van will fit fine, parking it close to the front wall of the garage. Excellent property managers. "Upstairs neighbors" were not a problem. They are in their own completely separate unit above the garage and above the back of our unit. We never saw them, and you are NOT sharing the house. The garage was all ours. A few blocks to walk to Marine Ave, where the restaurants and shops are on the island. We hope we will be able to secure this unit when we return to Balboa because we got spoiled with this one!

223 E. Bayfront

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I were a bit concerned prior to our arrival as we just found out that there was a rental unit attached to this home. There is nothing mentioned in the rental info prior or in the description of the property. You only find out in arrival info. The other item of concern was the parking because it was advertised with a two car garage. Again, mentioned more specifically in info prior to arrival that it fits one smaller SVU etc. . That being said, we managed fine and the apartment renters did not bother us all and the garage accommodated our car but just, not room for anything else. It is more a length of car issue than a width. The garage is the only part of the house not remodeled.We were very thankful for air conditioning as it was very warm and humid for our arrival. We had everything we needed and house was in pristine condition. We loved the location and the table and chairs out front with an umbrella. I think it best you make it known that the property is a duplex so there are no surprises. The tenant is able to access side of house but not able to use patio etc.
