Beach getaway

We stayed at the oceanfront property on Balboa - we enjoyed the long walks and the downtown shops and restaurants. Balboa Island is a great place to vacation and we loved the VRBO property.

New Year on Balboa!

Great place with the family to ring in the New Year!! Few better locations in So Cal than Balboa and we had a great house right on the water a few steps down from the ferry to Newport. The accommodations were fantastic, the communication with the property manager was top notch and we can’t wait to stay here again! Thanks for a great week on Balboa.

Best rental on Balboa Island

Birthday Celebration

I was celebrating a milestone birthday and stayed the week of the boat parade. What a fabulous location to celebrate at ! The house is at a great location, easy walking to the Ferry to go to the Newport Peninsula. Easy walking to Marine Avenue where shops and restaurants are located. So relaxing watching the boats in the harbor go by the house. I would definitely recommend this house to stay at!

Perfect week on the Island!

We've stayed here multiple years and it never disappoints. House is clean and we can see improvements are made each winter which is much appreciated given the cost that goes into a vacation. Appliances recently updated are a big improvement and the house is well appointed with everything you need. Working with Julie the property manager is great, she takes the initiative to call beforehand if something needs to be communicated (like roadwork in the alley this year) and is overall a very friendly and competent person to work with. Great vacation as usual!

First class property all the way. Top notch appliances in kitchen and bathrooms. Great linens. Extremely comfortable and attractive furniture, well placed to enjoy the incredible view and television. Fabulous patio area and grill overlooking the best view onto the bay. Easy walk to both the main shopping Street (marine Ave.), and the ferry to the Peninsula. We went in mid September, which may have accounted for the quiet atmosphere. But it was lovely! Management responded immediately to our questions. Don’t miss this experience!!!

Our third stay!

This was our third stay at the property since 2019. We have stayed in the upstairs unit as well. Honestly, it just keeps getting better. Very well maintained and upgrades noticed each time we have stayed. Communication if first rate! It will continue to be our first choice in SoCal!
