Leave the car behind and explore local favorites such as Marina Park, the waterfront Lighthouse Café, the historic Dory Fleet Fish Market, Balboa Village, the Balboa Fun Zone, and the Balboa Island Ferry, all within easy walking or biking distance.

For additional shopping and dining, Lido Marina Village and Fashion Island are just a short drive away, offering everything from harborfront restaurants and local boutiques to luxury retailers and upscale dining.

Location is fabulous! House is cute, Small in size, perfect for a couple and possibly small children. sharing square footage on the listing would help determine if this space works for your party. Overall I liked this house, it was clean and as pictured. The parking was too tight for our liking (Hyundai Elantra) so we opted to park on the street - metered parking. I would stay again for a couples get away.
