This 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath Balboa Island front cottage is conveniently located in walking distance to the charming shops and cafe’s on Marine Ave., as well as the historic Balboa Island Ferry that takes both cars and pedestrians on a 5 minute ride to Balboa Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean beaches. There, the kids can play at the Fun Zone arcade, ride the Ferris wheel, you all can charter a boat to Catalina Island, go deep sea fishing, para-sailing, jet skiing, stroll the boardwalk, rent bikes, surf, or just treat yourself to a Ruby's shake at the end of the pier. The recreation opportunities are endless!

The front of this rustic cottage features an cozy outdoor patio complete with a gas BBQ and patio furniture where you can prepare your favorite outdoor meals, have a glass of wine, and meet other friendly vacationers to the island as they stroll on by. The inside of this cottage has purposely been maintained in it’s original Balboa Island vintage style featuring a high-vaulted ceiling in the living room outlined with traditional wood planks, there is wood flooring throughout the cottage, a wood-burning fireplace, and two cozy sofas.

The kitchen has all the conveniences of home including a refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove, microwave, double stainless steel sink, and fully stocked with all the cookware and place settings you will need.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying on Balboa Island is a treat. The house I stayed in wasn’t. It’s extremely old(1927)& hasn’t been kept up. It needs a coat of paint, windows washed, new carpeting & some TLC. Mold was growing in one the bedroom closets.Perfect location for walking, close to the boardwalk & Marine Ave. And there’s parking space for 1 car which is great. It’s very hard to find parking especially on the weekends.Another reason I wouldn’t rent this house again... is there’s an attachment that is rented out. It’s upstairs & the people that live there are quite noisy with music thumping over the master bedroom. My son- in- law at 10:30pm had to tell them to shut it down. Also arguing into the night isn’t conducive to a restful night. The walls are thin so every sound is heard.Vicki at the property rental company couldn’t have been nicer & I’ll use their company again but be more selective about where I stay. No one wants their vacation ruined because of neighbors. I’ve stayed on the island before & never had a problem. Ask a lot of questions before sign up...

Musty
From the moment we opened the door we were overwhelmed by the stench of musty/moldy, just plain old. While the pictures were 100% accurate, a little tired looking, I though I could do the old school cozy cabin feel. The reviews were not bad and NOBODY mentioned the odor. Well, if smells bother you, this is not the cottage for you. Hopefully I will save some folks from the experience we had. I cannot say enough great things about the property management company. Peter was kind, understanding, responsive, and helpful. He came up with a solution to save our vacation. In the end, with a little inconvenience, our vacation was made better by this property management team. Thank you!
