Wonderful Balboa Weekend

My girlfriends and I spent a wonderful weekend in Balboa at this stunning property. In addition to the unbelievable waterfront views, the home is immaculate and so beautifully decorated that it looks straight out of a movie. To our pleasant surprise, the home is also much larger than we anticipated -- everyone had plenty of room to congregate or spread out without feeling cramped. To that end, the home is very well appointed and came with everything we needed (if you enjoy cooking, you will love the kitchen appliances!). The check-in process was smooth and seamless; Julie, the property manager, was wonderful and so friendly -- we had such a great time meeting her! Overall, we have nothing but good things to say about this property and were sad to leave. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay here and will most definitely be back!

Great place for Corporate Group

I booked this home for a corporate retreat and it was the perfect setting. All the feedback I received was excellent - great location, very peaceful, decor and outdoor spaces were terrific. Perfect home for groups with 7 adults, everyone had their own space to retire too. Working with the property manager was a breeze. Quick thorough responses, very accommodating. I would book this home again should the group return to the area.

Great for mother-daughter trip!

This is a great house right on the boardwalk! We were a group of 4 moms and 4 teen girls visiting for a long weekend. Each mom had her own room with bath and the girls shared the bunk room. There’s a great porch with plenty of seating to enjoy the view of the harbor, the breeze and the sunsets. It’s a quick walk to the passenger ferry over to the beach and a quick walk the other direction to Marine Ave which is full of restaurants and cute shops. Highly recommend renting a Duffy Boat (we used Voyager, right next to the ferry) for a fun harbor cruise. The house has a fire pit, beach towels, chairs and umbrellas and yard games…and a three-car garage, if you’re renting a car. Julie, the property manager is very friendly, responsive and helpful! Enjoyed our stay so much!

Beautiful Home Great for Extended Family!

This was our 2nd time staying at the property and it was better than the first. The property manager, Julie, met us and walked us through the house which was sparkling clean. We had plenty of space for our party of 6 adults and four kids. The bunk room for the kids and the fact that there is an enclosed grassy backyard keeps them entertained when they aren't on the beach. Great location and everything you could possibly want available in the home. Beds were comfortable, plenty of linens and dual washer/dryers for any laundry needs. Overall 5+ stars!

Sun, beaches,Disney,Legoland, sunsets and Harbor views

All communication was precise. Julie met us at the house on time with instructions. We had 6 adults and 7 kids stay and the accommodations were just perfect for a family trip. The family room was large for all of us to gather and the kitchen area. The outside space was so relaxing with many seats. The kids room is great upstairs! All beds were comfortable. The backyard area was wonderful in that it is fenced in with a grassy area for kids to play while adults relax. They had toys for the children and adults to play volleyball and badminton. It also has a TV for the grill masters or anyone needing to getaway. The bathrooms all had large showers off of every room, including both downstairs. The location on the island is convenient also and a big plus is having a three car garage. It was quiet at night and felt very safe. We loved our family time. We would book this again for a family trip.

Celebrating my 50th with family

This house was clean, organized, absolutely beautiful and right on the water with the best views. The walkway around Balboa Island was a great stroll morning, noon and night. The main street with all the shops and restaurants is about 4 blocks away. Having 3 garage spaces and a spot on the street in front was fantastic. It was my 50th birthday and family came from all over. The beds were so comfortable, everyone commented on how well they slept. We had wood delivered and made a fire out front every night. It was a very special weekend and we all want to come back!! 5 stars for sure!

Great Vacation Home

This home was perfect for our mostly adult family of 8 plus 2 children. It end perfect for family gathering and personal privacy. Each room was a suite. We loved it. There were some supplies that were a little limited (such as paper towel, dishwashing soap and trash bags). Other than that one little recommendation it was perfect.
