Doll House Beach Cottage
When we first walked in my kids exclaimed that we had arrived in what felt like a doll house. The house is older, reminiscent of a vintage doll house. White drapes and flower wallpaper adorn the walls. A small and functional kitchen and laundry were extremely helpful. The stairs are steep with narrow steps, but manageable for any able bodied person. Location is perfect for the authentic balboa island experience. Directions for guests were easy to understand and not over done. We will look to stay here on our next trip again for sure.

This property is located a block from downtown Balboa and a block from the water. Great location near wonderful restaurants, coffee shops and bakery. You can literally park your car and walk to everything you need. The house is 99 years old and charming. Not fancy, but perfect for a relaxing getaway. We will be back.

Great and historic
Would stay there again. Older cottage expect some dating. Could not open the master bedroom window for venting. Banisters needed just a little cleaning. Nothing major. Great little cottage. Host was super.

Patio paradise
Third time staying here. Love the large front patio and the ease of getting to Marine Street or just taking a stroll. Very comfortable living room area. Was like stepping back in time in this 1924 historic location!

cute cottage
this is a cute traditional cottage. It is best for individuals or families that are not challenged by stairs to bedrooms. The location was perfect as there is much activity along the main road and it is two blocks from the main street.
