Just had a lovely stay in this home with my family. Home is beautiful, clean and has all the amenities needed. Perfect location on Balboa Island. Sheila is a lovely host, responsive and helpful. Hope to be able to stay here again.
I have stayed at this VRBO many times over the years, and always feel that I am returning to my "California home". It is perfect at every level, and we will be returning!
We had a lovely stay the weekend before Thanksgiving with our 6 and 8 year olds. House was well stocked and the owner was kind enough to meet us here when we arrived to show us around. Beautiful house in excellent location near all Balboa Island has to offer. We would definitely come back again!!
We loved this house and location. There was plenty of space for our group and an amazing location - close to shopping/dining on Marine, just a few houses away from the water - but private as you are not right on the water.
The kitchen was stocked as well! It was an overall great experience!

Best home on Balboa Island!
A beautiful home.l! Equipped for everything you might need or desire!... plus it is a wonderful location close to shopping, the Balboa ferry, & the mainland amenities (terrific restaurants). We had the best time!
I would definitely rent this property again.
This beautiful home is the perfect Balboa getaway. Just steps from the sand. Everything was super clean. Home came with bikes, paddle boards and everything you need for a perfect day at the beach.
Beautiful home close to Southbay front with lots to do
This house was the best house I've rented on the island. It had two car garage with four kayaks, three excellent paddle boards, and bikes for all ages. Beautiful front patio with tons of outdoor seating which was ideal for covid friendly visiting. I loved it!

Beautiful, Clean, Perfect Home for Our Long Weekend!
We stayed 4 nights at Sheila's home and couldn't have been happier! We had 2 couples, one 2-year-old and 2 additional adults and the house was perfect for our group. The beds are VERY comfortable - I am 35 weeks pregnant and slept great! We used the kayak, paddle boards, baby pool, beach chairs, beach towels and sand toys that were provided every day. Our toddler loved the short walk to the bay to play in the sand and watch the boats. The location was perfect - just a short walk to the main street with all the shops and restaurants. We appreciated how clean the rooms and kitchen were! Would definitely rent again!

The BEST home to rent on Balboa Island!
I can't say enough wonderful things about this home! My goal was to find the perfect home to have a pre-wedding girls getaway for my daughter and family and I found it! From beginning to end Sheila made our time at her home awesome. She offered fantastic referrals for an afternoon at the spa and local restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed the fun toys that came with her home - the bicycles (so great, we used them every day), beach chairs, beach umbrella and kayaks! We were just steps away from the beach and enjoyed taking the bikes on the ferry over to Newport where we rode along the strand. And the home! - so cute, so comfortable, so beautifully renovated and so CLEAN! Sheila even made sure to offer a crib knowing that my 2 month old granddaughter was part of our girls weekend as well! The ambiance of the home was so appreciated and the front porch was the perfect outdoor space to relax. I was already looking at my calendar before we left to see when I can come back again ! Thanks so much Sheila, your home is a gem!

The house was great especially with the large front patio.
Renting from Sheila was a great experience. She was friendly and very helpful especially when I locked us out and she sent her son to unlock it for us very fast.
We loved this spot SO much! Great location great home stocked with all. Sheila was awesome!! Appreciated your communication SO much!! Hope to stay again soon :-)
Everything about this house is 5 stars! The location is great, just a couple blocks from Marine Blvd and a few houses from the beach. The house is beautifully redone and comes stocked with everything you could need. The beds are incredibly comfortable. We appreciated having the bikes to rides. Sheila was so easy to work with. This was the perfect place for a "Moms" getaway! We will definitely stay here again!
Lovely, well appointed home easily walkable to restaurants and shopping on Balboa.
The process was easy and the owner made communication very easy. We will definitely be back.
Great older home on Balboa Island, all redone and so cute. The home was spotless and all the amenities were well thought out.
The communication with the owner was excellent. Sheila welcomed us via message and gave us tips on the boat parade.
The only small issues were the heater controller we always had to adjust and the hot water takes a LONG time to get to each area of the house.
Would definitely recommend the home to others and will stay there again when in the area. Thanks for a great vacation!
