Nice place for a couple to stay. Short distance from the beach, unit was clean and had all the necessities and then some. Walking distance from both piers. Garage is small and a sedan won't fit. (Car rental companies fault, not the hosts.) Just noting as street parking can add up, so make sure you get a true compact if you want to avoid the hassle.

Lovely super clean Studio in a fantastic location.

The studio had everything we needed to cook, beach chairs and a five-star location for our Christmas Sunset picnic. We would definitely stay with you again

Wonderful!

We had a lovely stay at this property! The location was perfect, just a quick walk to the beach and surrounded by many shops and restaurants! The property manager was very helpful when we needed to store our bags before checkin as well as accommodating our need for a late check out! Definitely recommend!

Nice Studio!

I stayed here for a week while visiting family in the area. This studio, while basic, had everything I needed and is great for one person. It was clean and the owners communicated well. I had no problem finding convenient street parking. I would stay here again.

Great Location!

The check in/out process was so easy, well stocked and we loved the location right between the Ocean and Bay, we watched the boat parade right behind the Unit. I would however suggest having a couple blankets stocked in the Closet, it got a bit chilly at night. I would definitely recommend this Unit and come back to stay again.

Great locale

Great little place. Loved the location. Only things that could be improved would be a bigger bathroom and shower and smaller kitchen. And rug under bed. It also smelled like smoke when AC wasn’t on (when we first got there).

Fantastic location, very clean, comfortable bed, everything worked. It was perfect for my wife and I. It was nice to have access to the garage to put our rented bikes in at night. Wish we could have stayed longer. My son got married at Marina Park a few blocks down the road. Easy walk to the ocean or the bay. Would stay here again if we have the chance to visit again.

Balboa Beach Escape is GREAT!!!

This property is wonderful. We stayed here last year (different unit - Balboa Sea Escape) and had so much fun we decided to come back this year. The property has everything you need to have a wonderful stay at the beach. Property owners have done a wonderful job and are very accommodating. Location to the beach is awesome. Already planning on booking at one of the 3 properties next summer. Can't wait!!!

Noisey

Beware, street traffic very busy and noisy. Road construction, jackhammers every morning at 7am. If you’re planning of spending an appreciable amount of time in the unit, try a quieter location.

Beach studio

The property is close to the beach, but on a main highway. The garage parking spot is too small for a small SUV and only big enough for a small car so we parked on the street. It wasn't a problem, but could be in the peak of summer.

Perfect home for the two of us!

So glad we decided to come…b/c the weather was going to be bad, we contemplated cancelling - it didn’t work out to cancel & we’re so glad it didn’t! What a beautiful place, the peninsula & so close to the beach & restaurants! Janet’s home was perfect for the two of us as opposed to a hotel that just gives you beds to sleep in & bathrooms! We loved the conveniences of home: the little living room, full kitchen, a little garage & lots of storage! For the most part, it was quiet where we were but could hear the neighbors a few times. As the reviews said, the home was very clean which made it that much more comfortable to stay there. We so appreciate getting to stay in your home, Janet, thank you for letting us stay there & for being so attentive to our questions! We loved staying here!
