Our family has stayed at Casa Miramar multiple times and it is our family’s favorite vacation destination. The accommodations are spectacular and the access to the beach is incredibly convenient. It is truly a turn key beach experience.
Our family couldn’t have found a more charming beach home to spend our vacation! Casa Miramar is beautifully decorated with a bright and airy feel including indoor/outdoor living. Not only is this home lovely, but it is only a quick walk to the beach where my children waited for dolphins to make their daily appearance. The Peninsula Point neighborhood is picturesque with a beautiful park and friendly neighbors.
We are already planning our next visit to Casa Miramar!
This is not a typical beach rental even though you are a few blocks away from the jetty, Peninsula Point park, and the ocean. The home has been remodeled and felt fresh and updated, and it was spotlessly clean. The bedding and furnishings were much nicer than normal rentals, and Michelle has it supplied with anything you need. She couldn't have been nicer and replied quickly to any questions we had. We love this neighborhood because it has wide streets and a quiet neighborhood feel which is unusual on Balboa Peninsula. Parking is easy and there is also a garage that's very handy. You are also just a short bike ride or quick drive to restaurants, the Fun Zone and the ferry to Balboa Island.
