Beach Condo

The property was exactly what we expected based on reviews, description and photos. The condo is small but has all the basics a family needs. Love the beach theme and colors. The front unit was not rented and the owners/management welcomed us to use the front patio which we really appreciated. The location is great, not even a block from the water but far enough away from the "busier" main street. We had a wonderful time on the island and know we will be back again.

Cozy on Balboa Island

Very nice and clean private second floor apartment, two bedroom, one bath, and perfect for our weekend. Very well furnished and equipped for cooking and relaxing. Beautiful Balboa Island location within walking distance of restaurants on Marine Street and the ferry to the Balboa pier. Great and well-maintained neighborhood and access to calm harbor beaches perfect for grandkids. A boardwalk completely surrounds the island which was great for jogging. Loved our stay.
