Avoid this property. Opal ave. Balboa Island

Smelled HORRIBLE, trying to hide odors. Loosekitchen faucet, crickets in the bathroom. NOISY ALL NIGHT from upstairs guests! Therefore, did NOT sleep for 2 of our 3nights! Couch smelled like dirty pets, human odors. Gross! Needs to be thrown out. My sister visited and started to get asthma from the odors. In short, Not worth $600+/night!!!

Delightful

This is a delightful place to stay one street over from the ferry. Beds were comfortable and it was dog/kid friendly. We took great walks and really appreciate the affordability!

A great place to spend a few days

First it is a bottom unit, so if you don’t want to listen to people walking around - take that info as needed. But it was perfect for my little family and there is a coffee shop behind the house and the ferry is a block away.

Great location

We enjoyed walking around Balboa Island. Rented a golf cart which made it convenient to go to restaurants and shopping and fun to take it on the ferry over to Balboa coast where you need to go to be on a nice beach. The unit was good for our group of 3 adults and two children. We contacted the management company in advance with 3 questions about kitchen appliances, beach towels/gear and pet fees. In each case they gave us a completely wrong answer resulting in our bringing stuff with us unnecessarily. They need to be more familiar with the unit. We had a couple questions after arrival and we did get an immediate call back from the company. Beds and linens were good. The kitchen is nice and very well stocked with pans, small appliances, and dishes. Our major complaint was the lack of lighting. The one bedroom with the en suite bath had a very weak overhead light and no nightstands or tabletop lights. It was impossible to see much of anything but less read at night. Similarly the lighting in the family room was very weak. We asked the management company about it and all they said was it didn’t work and didn’t offer to do anything about it. They had placed some floor lights in the space but they really didn’t light the place up. The only outside light is from one sliding glass door so limited light came in. The unit seemed a little pricey to us but at least something should be done to fix the lights.
