We had a wonderful week at this beachfront property and couldn't have asked for a more relaxing time. The views were wonderful - we loved looking out at the beach and watching the sunsets!Being on the second floor was a huge plus for us; it was quieter and we felt very safe throughout our stay. One thing we particularly appreciated was the privacy - despite being near the boardwalk, no one could look into the property, which made it feel like our own private sanctuary. We truly enjoyed our time at this property and would return.

Incredible location

This is a great place to stay. The home was very clean and nice and perfect location. The garage is a nice bonus but we had a sports car and the approach is so steep the sports car would rub the undercarriage pretty bad.

Great beachfront property

Excellent location, easy walking distance to Balboa activities. Kids loved being so close to the sand. Loved eating breakfast on the balcony looking out toward the ocean! Bunk beds were great for the kids. Definitely plan on bringing minor kitchen staples like ziplock bags if plan to cook and you want to store any leftovers.

Wonderful walkable property with a view

Well-appointed and designed upper floor of a waterfront home. The Pacific is a long way away, but you are right on a pedestrian path and the beach with bonfires at night. Easy walking to restaurants and shops. Updated and clean with great management company. Only issue was instructions for unit in a binder they provide needs updating for proper check out instructions and trash day.

Great location, nearly perfect

Property is very clean. Nice garage. Short walk to Balboa Pier, shops and restaurants. It does describe it is a second store unit and each access you walk through the lower units patio but even with this description there was still some strain that the tenant on the lower floor didn't want us walking through the patio so it defeats the purpose of being on the beach. We didn't let it bother us but it is a little odd probably should separate a walking path for the upper level

AWESOME LOCATION

We meet here for a summer family vacation, coming from 3 different states (Us with our children & grandchildren). We all loved the place! Location was awesome!! We were able to walk to get groceries, go to restaurants, shop, have some fun and enjoy the ocean (including making s'mores on the fire pits on the beach-make sure to reserve you spot early on the weekends). I always received an immedicate reponse from the Management when I had a question. Good amount of supplies. Clean. The kids loved the bunk beds. We were concerned that the beach noise might be too loud at night on the weekends (being near the pier), but having the bedrooms in the back made it not a problem at all (even for the 1 1/2 year old). Also, there is a playground and bike rentals within walking distance - by the pier. Thank you for a great stay! We will definitely use again.

A wonderful respite

We loved staying at this property. We enjoyed the beautiful deck with the beach and ocean views. We enjoyed the convenience of the surrounding businesses and beach trails. The master shower is amazing. Due to the heat wave when we stayed there, there were issues with power and wifi and the television stopped working. We let the property manager know and they got us with a functional television within an hour or two. Clearly the managers care about making guests feel comfortable and well cared for - which we did!

It’s not oceanfront like we expected. It’s ocean view.

We were hoping from the pictures that it was oceanfront, but it’s quite a walk to where the water was. It’s ocean view. Wish we knew about how awful the parking was because we had 2 large SUV’s and it was horrible to park especially the streets were very narrow. Also the hike up each flight of stairs is awful! My grandma was with us on oxygen and there are stairs everywhere all over the house and many flights up to the living area and it was narrow. Also bring your own pilllows. We got very flat pillows and only 2 on the master bedroom. Other than that, it’s pretty clean . I just wouldn’t recommend the stairs w young children and the elderly.

Great Stay

The upper unit was lovely and clean. The checkin was very seamless and there was enough basic necessities to get started. The space is decorated beautifully and the beds were very comfortable. Great access to the beach and the pier. There were only two drawbacks: 1. The airport is right overhead so plane noise is about every 15 mins. 2. There was only one beach chair which was ripped. When I inquired about it, I was told to go rent. When traveling with little kids, it felt quite daunting to sort that all out. We have a beach house that we rent as well and we supply our renters with 10 beach chairs, a wagon and beach games. It would have been a nice touch to have some of those amenities. Overall we had no concerns. The rental agency was prompt in answering any questions, although we had very little need to ask about anything. We asked to stay late and they allowed us to stay most of the day with no charge. That was a lovely surprise. The agent we talked to was always very kind and friendly. We would come back again!
