Great Location

This property is a great location. We had friends book the front of the house and we had the back which made for a great trip. There are a lot of stairs if you have little ones, but they did have baby gates. The rooms are very bright in the morning because they are lofts.

Balboa Stay

The property was in a great location but it was not made clear that both bedrooms had no doors and were open as they are both lofts. The one bathroom is incredibly small and the other had to go down stairs. We had people banging on the connecting wall when we were simply watching TV at 10pm. The code to the garage did not work but only worked with the remote once you were in the unit. I think if the description is made clearer it would help manage expectation.

Balboa Is vacation

The peace of our stay was substantially altered by major street drain repairs which neither the owners or property management co had notice of more than 3 days before our arrival. The management co was VERY helpful intrying to rectify the problem and offered a move to larger property options in the surrounding Peninsula though we choose to stay. We will definitely choose this same property for future stays.

A Great Week in Balboa

My family and I just had a lovely week in Balboa at the unit on North Bay Front and Apolena. I grew up in LA and would rent a house every summer with my parents from the 70s through the early 90s. Having moved out of California as an adult, I wanted to give my two young daughters the same experience and they had a blast. The unit is very clean and looks like it has just recently been made into a rental. Great natural light, excellent location 50 feet from the beach and a very short walk to all the shops on Marine. The only thing that was a bit odd about it was that its not really a 2 BD as there are no doors on the rooms. It’s two separate loft areas but noise does travel. The more private loft does not have a bathroom, the less private loft has a tiny bathroom. Loft aside, of the many rental properties on Balboa that I have stayed in over the years this was certainly one of the nicest. Would happily stay again.

Very Uncomfortable

I do recommend staying on Balboa Island. This particular property doesn't have a balcony or patio, the picture that is shown is for the downstairs unit. The bedroom that has a bathroom attached has the most uncomfortable bed I have EVER slept in. The bathroom isn't shown in the pictures because the size of it would be a deterrent, there isn't even a towel bar to dry out your towel. The bathroom is too small to change in and since the bedroom is a loft, you get to change in front of the neighbors and your guests below in the living room. Fortunately, there were only 3 of us staying in the condo, I don't recommend for 6 as listed. There is a quite small couch or rather love seat that will only accommodate 3 people. The kitchen is acceptable for people that plan to eat every meal out. The kitchen didn't have a chef's knife, paring knife, container with lid, filters for the coffee machine, or any cleaning supplies for the counter tops. I have stayed in countless home rentals and all of these items are usually pretty basic. I really contemplated giving this review, as I usually only give props to those that I have had a great stay at. I am hoping that the owner takes this as advice to further improve their guests experience.
