About this property

Beautiful Balboa Island Beach home with bay views

Located just five doors from South Bayfront, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is a great place to spend a relaxing week with your family.

Make yourself at home in this classic, first level beach house, which features an idyllic tree-shaded front patio and more than 1,200 square feet of living space. We have everything you need for a carefree getaway, including a spacious living area with a fireplace, a fully outfitted galley kitchen with updated appliances and a breakfast nook, private indoor laundry and three cozy bedrooms with fresh, high-end bedding and linens – all with our top-of-the-line attention to cleanliness and comfort.

Grab a book and a glass of wine to enjoy on the patio… or head to the beach with our cooler, beach chairs and umbrella. The unit also includes a dedicated car port parking space – a rare find on the island.

Quiet and quaint, Balboa Island is a one-of-a-kind, harborside community, with much to offer within walking or biking distance, including fine dining, wonderful boutiques and great outdoor activities. Or, within just a few blocks, you can take the ferry across the harbor to Balboa Peninsula’s fun zone, where you can rent boats, jet skis, kayaks and paddle boards. And, the Pacific Ocean is just a few blocks when you exit the ferry.

Adorable Cottage

This is a really neat home in a wonderful location. It is a few houses from the bay and a short walk to quaint Marine Street with it's restaurants and shops. The house was comfortable and nicely decorated and spotless. We had everything we needed - beach wagon and chairs, kitchen supplies, starter supplies and very comfortable beds. We appreciated the flexibility Matt showed us and really enjoyed out time. I would recommend this property and would stay there again! Thanks!

Great time on Balboa!

We were there for 2 weeks, the area is fantastic! We enjoyed walking around the island, found some favorite restaurants & shops & enjoyed meeting the neighbours. The cottage was nice & clean, great for what we needed. Just a heads up, there are ceiling fans but no AC so keep that in mind if you are a hot sleeper. My only complaint is that the bathrooms are small & suited for shorter people. Overall, our stay was great & the owner was responsive & pleasant to deal with!

Best of Balboa

My family and I were able to experience the best of Balboa while staying at this property. It truly felt like our home away from home. Everything was easy, accessible and comfortable which made our vacation that much better. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location and Value!

The property met our expectations with no exceptions. Very comfortable stay and location was great. An easy walk to the Main Street on Balboa and the parking at the back of the property was very convenient. Would definitely stay again.

What a great Host and House!

Our daughter was married in Chicago and my husband and I decided to unwind on Balboa Island for 10 days...such a great place the honeymoon couple decided to join us! I've been coming to Balboa for 70 years and it gets better every time...you won't be disappointed with this house. The couple has moved on to real life....we might be coming back to finally relax. Maybe Christmas parade time. Thanks again....we had a great time! Irwin and Suzan
