Balboa Beach Home w/ Outdoor Space, Walk to Water, Dining + More

Primary Renter Must be 25 Years of Age to Rent (Proof of Age Required)

Imagine a delightful Balboa Island family vacation home that is the perfect combination of vintage Balboa Island charm with all the comforts of modern updates—in a reasonable price range too!

Within walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, and all the fun and happenings on Balboa Island, this is an ideal location for your vacation with family and friends.

A charming, inviting brick patio with Mediterranean-style landscaping, a dining table, and a barbecue welcomes you to this spacious 2,600-square-foot home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Original knotty pine paneling in the living room and two downstairs bedrooms gives this beach cottage its warm, cozy feeling.

The expansive living room features high vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, ceiling fan, and a large flat-screen TV mounted above the fireplace, creating the perfect gathering space for family and friends.

The living room opens to a beautifully remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, a chef's range, and a French-door refrigerator. A dining area sits between the kitchen and living room, creating one great room where everyone can be together.

An added bonus is the sunroom, where you can relax with a book before heading upstairs to the newly remodeled second level. The spacious primary suite features a king bed, ensuite bathroom, flat-screen TV, ceiling fan, and plenty of room to relax.

Adjacent to the primary suite is a loft-style sleeping area with another king bed, a beautifully updated bathroom with a rain shower and marble tile, a large flat-screen TV, and a comfortable sitting area.

Two additional bedrooms are located downstairs—one with a double bed and one with two twin beds. A fully upgraded downstairs bathroom features beautiful honey onyx tile. All bedrooms and bathrooms are stocked with luxurious linens for your comfort.

Additional amenities include complimentary WiFi, central heating, a two-car garage, and four cruiser bikes for guests to enjoy during their stay.

A vintage, fun island with lots to do and a beautiful home on Newport Bay where everything is wonderfully easy—all you need to bring are the people, the food, and the fun to create lasting vacation memories.

Great location

We thought this house was adorable with a lot of space. The house had plenty of dishes and pans for cooking. Balboa island is so cute with plenty to do. We especially liked riding the ferry to the beach.

The house is older and the furniture is dated but the kitchen and bathrooms were nice. You can’t beat the location and that it has parking is the cherry on top of this ice cream sundae. Overall it was a nice place to stay I would definitely stay here again.

Well suited family home

This Balboa Island home perfectly met our multi­generational family desires. We strolled the island, visited the nearby toddler friendly public beach, walked to the shopping, and rode the ferry to the peninsula and beaches. A loved family vacation retreat!

Absolutely Gorgeous

This rental was absolutely gorgeous and won our hearts from the moment we walked in. Such a cute cabin at the beach, my husband and I felt right at home the whole stay. We were even able to walk to Balboa Bay each night and take in the sunset. Couldn’t have asked for a more accommodating stay, we were very surprised and very pleased.

A substitute home

Our family stayed in a lovely little home on Balboa island, very close to the Main Street, and even closer to the water. It comfortably housed my family of 8, as well as a baby and a 4 year old. We were very pleased with the accommodations, size, and comfortable style of this home and we would recommend this site to any of our friends who are thinking of doing the same with their families! Thank you for a memorable vacation and a lovely Thanksgiving!

Great location, nice updates

My sister's family and my family just returned from spending the week at this house and are missing it already! The home is comfortable with a big open living/dining room and a nice patio out front. The pictures give you a good idea of the interior. The management has done a great job updating where it's most important ­ the kitchen and bathrooms. The house has bikes, beach toys, a W/D ­ everything you need.
