Enjoy our original Balboa beach cottage that is still full of old time flavor, but thoughtfully enhanced for a relaxing getaway.
Start the day with a morning cup of coffee on the quaint front porch entry, overlooking the boulevard.

Great place. Floors are a little wonky so watch your step, but location is perfect! Also had a beautiful back patio to hangout in as well and get the ocean breeze!

As advertised great location
Great location for the beach, also very accommodating of the dogs, had a nice enclosed back yard which was very handy. The propery was clean inside but was covered with what looked like flying ants when we arrived. Everything worked and sitting on the patio watching the world go by was great.
