Wonderful property!

We stayed at 8 on Onyx for a family trip with a 4 year old, teens, and adults and we had the best time! The location was perfect for shopping and going out to eat, the walk to the ferry was easy also. The property was beautiful, very clean and exactly as described in the posting. We loved everything about the property and will be staying again on our next trip to Balboa! Megan

Very Happy with Our Week

Our adult family stayed at the property for a week and would stay here again! We were very happy with the cleanliness and the place overall and the bathrooms and kitchen were updated and new. While Balboa is not the quietest place in the morning, the windows were the best we’ve experienced at keeping the plane noise out. We appreciated the waters and snacks the host provided. Thanks!

Vacation !!!

Facility was very nice. The only drawbacks were the stairs to upstairs unit and the access to the parking was very tight. We enjoyed our stay and closeness to Marine Street.

8 on Onyx

Cheerful and roomy upstairs condo on Balboa Island just one block from the main drag. The unit was clean, spotless and very comfortable. We were sad to leave one day early due to high ocean waves the following day. It’s an occasional stop for us since we arrive by boat.

The perfect place

The accommodations worked so well for our family ranging in age from 4 months to seniors with a couple of teenagers thrown in. Every amenity was available, the decor was done to perfection, the location couldn't be better. We loved sitting on the balcony in beautiful CA sunshine and having our nightly Balboa bars. A great place for large families, we loved it and are coming back!

Beautiful Home

We had a wonderful vacation in this beautiful home. The decor was wonderful, the layout was ideal and it had everything we needed. We loved the balcony deck with rockers and how close it was to the marine ave, close to coffee in the morning and shopping on a whim. The beds we very comfortable and bathrooms clean and upscale.
