Oceanfront views on Balboa Peninsula
We had a wonderful stay. The home was very clean and the views were unbeatable. The location was nice with decent street parking in addition to the garage. We did not park in the garage as it was a tight fit but used it for our rental bikes and surf boards which was handy. It was an easy walk from the home to the pier, some restaurants and the fun zone area. The location on the boardwalk was perfect for walks and biking. The home's decor was pretty dated but we found that was easily overlooked for the view and location.

Property was clean and beautiful. Great area on the boardwalk if you want to be close to restaurants/shops without being exposed to everything that comes w that.
