Super fun Christmas family celebration

Wonderful beach house getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home on Balboa Island immensely. Balboa Island has become one of our favorite places, and this is the perfect location from which to enjoy everything it has to offer. The house is comfortable(great beds, linens, comfy furniture), well-equipped in every sense (the kitchen has everything needed for making great meals), and we enjoyed being there immensely. We can’t wait to return.

This is a wonderful location on Balboa Island! We vacation on the island almost every year and this property is one of our favorites. There are many amenities that other houses don’t provide such as paddle boards, kayaks, and an optional use of the Duffy boat. Our family, from grandparents to infants, thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This is wonderful house located right on the beach path on Balboa Island. We have stayed here many times, my wife and I and sometimes our adult children. Two steps to the beach and you are all set; beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels come with the house. The owner, Brad, is super responsive, getting back to us quickly and solving any problems (although there seldom are any problems). We cannot wait until our next vacation at this property.

Great location, place & host!

This is a fantastic vacation rental for families with young children or adults looking for a very comfortable beach house in a great location. It has a large patio on the harbor, two large bedrooms, an 8-minute walk to restaurants and shops, and parking with room for two SUVs. It was very clean and stocked with all the kitchen tools, nice towels and sheets, and lots of sand toys for the kids. Brad, the host, is very responsive and wants to ensure you have everything you need and a great stay. Even though we only live less than 30 minutes away, this will become our yearly vacation spot!
