50th wedding anniversary.
We wanted a quick vacation for our 50th anniversary so we chose the Balboa area. We like Crystal cove and it was only 15 minutes from the property. Its close to dinning, catalina ferry and John Wayne airport. Thevonly thing missing was a view but we were on the go all the time so that didnt matter. Had a wonderful time and enjoyed being right at the beach.

Clean and comfortable
The unit was clean, stocked with everything you need and was exactly as advertised. And, this is a wonderful location given easy access to the Balboa ferry and you're right on the beach.

Great Location and access to the beach!
Clean and comfortable apartment by the beach. Steps away from boardwalk and close walk to restaurants and Piers. It was great having beach chairs. We did not use the garage but would be great for anyone who has a car. Highly recommend staying here!

Great beach-side property!
Loved the location right next to the beach! Note that because of the beach berm, you cannot actually see the ocean at street level from the unit/near the unit. You can see that peek-a-boo view from the couch as shown in the pictures. While there was some noise due to garbage trucks early in the morning and some folks walking through the area in the evening, I was surprised at the low-noise level, given the location a block off of a fairly main road. Some airplane noise, but it seems that the unit is not under the primary flight path so it wasn't bad.
Note that the kitchen supplies were quite minimal so if you plan on doing real cooking, bring your own or check ahead (only one bowl aside from salad/ceral bowls, no large skillet, no whisk, no vegetable peeler).
Note that insulation/attention to details in the building is a little lacking--the living room windows really rattled during a wind storm, the unit got pretty chilly at night (fine for me but my daughter was cold--note that the heater worked well), but the last night after the day time temperature rose to 66F, the inside temp, with windows open and ceiling fans on, was 78F. Note that there are 3 big floor fans in addition to the ceiling fans, so most people would be good but if you are sensitive to heat, the no A/C in the summer could be an issue.
LOVED being able to walk to the Catalina Flyer ferry (highly recommended)! Really enjoyed the location, although most of the time it was a bit too cool/windy to make full use of the beach location.
Totally loved the location and would return!

Steps from the Beach!!
Great location and can’t beat the price. It was so nice to be able to walk a few steps and have our toes hit the sand. Place looked just like it did in the photos. Experienced a minor issue but management was quick to take care. We look forward to renting again.
