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!!!

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.

Balboa Bayfront Beauty

This is our 2nd stay at this location, but our first time in the lower unit. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. We spent lots of time in the living room and kitchen area with the doors open to the outside. We had coffee on the patio, sat on the sand in the afternoons, made dinner "at home" in the stocked and roomy kitchen and then back to the patio to watch the sunset and the Christmas lights come on. It was perfect. And, we can't wait to come back.
