Balboa Rendezvous
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
There is no need to wonder what living like a NorCal local is like when you book a stay here at Balboa Rendezvous! Start each day on the furnished back deck with refreshments before digging into a game of badminton or cornhole. When days heat up, Clam Beach will be calling your name for a tanning session on soft sand as the waves crash nearby. When you want to venture out a bit, the fishing, hiking, beachcombing, and towering redwoods will keep you busy regardless of the time of year you choose to visit. You're just minutes away from Humboldt County's Regional airport, so adventure awaits no matter what direction you pick!
Inside, this gem opens up to a spacious living area, soaring ceilings, and modern decor. Everyone can spread out and find their piece of paradise, yet gathering for meals, movie nights, and board games are just as much fun. The high-speed WiFi has you covered for streaming favorite shows, and there will be no better way to end chillier evenings than cozying up by the wood stove with a favorite beverage in hand. Don't worry about heading out each night for meals, as the full kitchen is outfitted with a gas range, stainless steel appliances, a coffee maker, and plenty of prep space.
This classic home away from home has it all, so create a new family tradition here at Balboa Rendezvous!
THINGS TO KNOW Streaming is available with guests' own accounts. This vacation rental is part of a very large duplex and offers plenty of privacy. A privacy fence separates the backyards.

Not happy.
The pictures of the back yard were nothing like it was. There were weeds for a backyard and the cornhole they advertised was rotten. The house was filled with bugs in the bathtub and floor. We killed a bunch of huge spiders inside the house including one big black one in the child’s room. The house was not stocked well either. Before we left we cleaned and it seemed cleaner when we left.
