4th of July family weekend

This condo is a great location - easy walk to main street on the island, to the ferry to go over to the peninsula and to the beach (even with kids)! The house had lots of beach toys which the kids really appreciated and couch was comfy for relaxing after a long day playing! The company checked in when we arrived and when I shared that the bathroom wasn’t as clean as I hoped, they were willing to send someone out right away to clean. Having a parking space was an added bonus on a busy holiday weekend!

Fantastic getaway

Amazing location, easy to find, perfect access to all Balboa has to offer. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. It didn’t affect us but Just be aware that Balboa Island is currently installing high bandwidth fibre so there is quite a lot of construction work ongoing on the island with road closures and heavy equipment in most areas. .

Far enough from the main commercial street to provide a sense of serenity, but a very easy walk to the shops, restaurants, etc., and an even easier stroll to the water!

Terrific Property

Everything was first rate. Very comfortable overall. Property management was kind and responsive to our messages. If I had one suggestion, I would say that it would be to have more soap and shampoo for a 4 night stay.

This place is super clean & has great light! We loved this location- super close to downtown in one direction, and the ferry in the other direction! Garage is fully stocked with beach chairs/toys, wagon! Plenty of space to park our car or the overnight bikes we rented! Would happily return!

Fantastic Island Condo

This 2 bedroom condo is a great get away. We actually parked our car in the attached garage and did not move it till we left. Everything is within walking distance--shopping, eating, kayaking and jogging/walking around the 2 mile of the island. The condo was clean with a large living/dining/kitchen area. I would go back in a minute!!!

Great Balboa stay

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and had a wonderful trip. Great location and makes most places walkable or rideable by bike. Will definitely be staying here again. Only complaint I would have is that beach towels weren’t provided as they had been in the past, but there was plenty of beach equipment to use in the garage.

Balboa Island Vacation

Great location. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Wonderful to have washer/dryer and garage parking. Nice property, well equipped, We were there during a hot summer and the lack of AC made afternoons uncomfortable, even with ceiling fans and other fans. Experienced internet and TV problems that we resolved with Spectrum on our own after a half day of working with them - should be fixed now.

A few hiccups but a nice stay

Great location and the apartment was nicely furnished, comfortable beds, etc. We did have to go buy an additional fan though. No air conditioning but we understand it is by the beach. Biggest issue. No WIFI. It was a working vacation and the VRBO add said it came with WIFI. The WiFi there was mostly non functional. The neighbor came by and gave me a password to theirs so we had limited access. The instructions provided to access WiFi were inaccurate and different than what was actually at the residence. We called the local property manager but they had no information, at least that worked. In any case I spent much of the time at the local Starbucks using their WIFI. And the TV cable did not work and there was no Wifi. So we had no Tv/movies the whole time. I am inclined to ask for some sort of credit as this was not as advertised and I had to spend much of my stay there away from the property due the the la k of WiFi. Again, the VRBO add indicated TV and WIFI?

Darling place that pretty much is exactly what you see in the pictures. Great location on the island and HUGE BENEFIT of a garage. I have a large SUV which we needed to make some modifications to in order to fit in the garage so if you drive a large SUV, the garage may not work for you but at least you have somewhere to park your bikes. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances all worked great. Plenty of room for our family of 4 and plenty of lighting options. Fantastic cooling breezes when you open the windows. The Downfalls: Typical Vacasa paper towels and singly plky toilet paper which sucks. Not enough supply for our 4-day stay. When there is no tissue in the house, you have to use toilet paper or paper towels, We rean out of both. We ended up using paper towels in the bathroom on our last day since we ran out of toilet paper. (Thrown in the trash - not flushed down the toilet.) There were only 2 washcloths, 2 hand towels and 4 bat towels. Not enough for a family of four over four days. We requested more and ended up getting some towels the night before we checked out. The roman shades in the kitchen over the sink were broken. They came in and just flipped them up over the top to keep them open. Now, no option for privacy so I flipped them back down. One of the kitchen chairs had a leg that was literally hanging on by a thread. They came and tightened it up as best as they could. The ceiling fan in the second bedroom did not work........
