About this property

Our cottage is a comfortably warm and delightful home meant for family to enjoy. A wood burning fireplace in the living room enhances winter days and nights; the dutch door opening into the living room allows the gentle breeze of summer to envelope you as it waftes thru the room or sit and enjoy the ocean air on the front patio.
There are 3 bedrooms. The first is small with a triple bunk bed and a Queen size Murphy bed. Although small, the room technically can house a family! One is a full bath with tub and shower next door and proximal to the Master which has an open beamed ceiling, good closet space, a window A/C and a television. The third bedroom has a King size bed and 4 bunks in a corner unit. There is a dutch door in this room that allows for separate entry (to the large back patio and barbeque) and window A/C. The second bathroom with shower and the laundry area are between the Master and Back Bedroom.
The den is off the kitchen with a queen futon and a twin futon chair. (This room can be closed off as a bedroom and does have a closet with a beverage refrigerator.) A large back patio area opens from the den and is a wonderful summer gathering place.
The kitchen is fully equipped with pots and pans, blender, plates, coffee pot, microwave, silverware and all kitchen utensils.
Absolutely the best place for a wonderful family vacation in a house meant for enjoyment!

Great Agate Beach House

We loved our stay on Balboa Island once again. The house had plenty of space and tons of beds. There were AC units in 2 of the room, which we didn't need, but are nice to have. There's a large patio out back to store all your beach toys and bikes. The home was clean with plenty of towels and great beds. Will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Shelly Angel

We have had many wonderful years in our island cottage! Our seven children grew to adulthood in summers here and their 26 children (my grandchildren) have carried on the traditions. I am widowed now and have moved to the island. I have recently listed the cottage and hope new families will enjoy the island as much as we all have loved it.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is nicely decorated and comfortable. It is meant for family living and enjoying the casual life Balboa Island. On warm days there are two patios. The front is intimate with large wicker chair and wicker loveseat. The large bricked back area has a barbeque and Adirondack chair seating.
Chilly evenings are warmed by the wood burning fireplace in the living room. Dinners are enhanced by the separate dining area adjoining the living room and close to the kitchen.

What makes this property unique

Built in 1926, our cottage has been carefully maintained and loved. A special place to find respite from the hustle and bustle of life in our world today!
