We loved the location of this cottage. We walked around the island every night after our yummy desserts. Inside the cottage was spacious and very comfortable. Perfect for my husband and I. We loved the fireplace and the outside deck. We will definitely be back!

We had a great stay at this cottage on the Island. It was so perfect for us! Having much more space than a just a hotel room, a fully stocked kitchen, even a Brita water pitcher in the fridge plus the outdoor deck was such a bonus for morning coffee and evening wine! Will definitely stay here again. The owner was so easy to work with also!

This is my second visit at Mariners cottage. This time it was a couple of weeks before Christmas. The weather was warm with hardly a breeze. The homes were festive and beautifully decorated for the holiday season. The cottage itself remains comfortable and functional. The beds and linen were amazing. The community is very dog friendly and you are always met with a hello or good morning on your walk.It’s a beautiful place to reflect and be thankful. Chase makes the experience easy and he’s very on top of things.

We had a wonderful stay at the Mariner Cottage. It was a safe, clean, and peaceful home base for exploring Balboa Island, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach. We loved having a parking spot, since we didn't drive the entire time; rather, we rode bikes and took the Balboa Ferry over to the Peninsula. Communication with our host, Chase, was 10/10. Thank you for making it an easy, stress-free stay, allowing us to focus on enjoying the area. :)

Best Cottage on Balboa Island

I’ve been staying on Balboa Island at least 3 times a year for the past 30 years, and this updated cottage is one of the best beach cottages my wife and I have ever rented! Excellent price point and a beautiful remodel with a lot of space for two adults.
