Overall impression. Pros: property mgmt allowed an early check in. Great location. AC was great to have! Kitchen was updated. Laundry facility was just a few doors away. Ferry was just down the street. Cons: No laundry inside the unit. Ferry could get expensive if you want to go to the beach often. Bathroom could use updating. Keurig was broken.

Enjoyed our stay

We had a good stay here. We really enjoyed the large open kitchen and living area with all the windows that open onto the deck. The place was clean and welcoming. Most of the place was nicely updated. Would love to see them update the old bathroom shower tub and tile as well . The sometimes bustling restaurant with the sounds of people enjoying themselves right next door was a non-issue most nights after 8:30 p.m. after which everything was very quiet and relaxing. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Location

Great place to stay, quiet at night but Balboa Island is just amazing. The kitchen is adequately stocked, but if you are planning on doing some extensive cooking bring your spices, etc. Beds are comfortable, and love the fact this place has an AC!!

Nice Location and Patio

The location was great, easy access to places to eat and walk. The ferry is just down the street making for a cool trip across the water to the beach. Property was clean and had everything we needed for the stay. Would stay again

Balboa Island near ferry

Excellent information provided ahead of check in. Covered reserved parking a great plus. Loved the kitchen and living area. Queen bed and pillows were very comfortable. Particularly enjoyed the heater in the bathroom on our cold winter morning. Close to all the action....two minute walk to the ferry to get to the peninsula, 5 minute walk to get to the cute downtown area. The neighborhood does an amazing job decorating for Christmas. We enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic location in the heart of quaint Balboa Island

Great apartment. Very comfortable. It’s located perfectly between the quaint town center and the ferry to Newport Beach. We took enjoyable walks every day to these spots. There’s a delicious restaurant next to the apartment. We’d stay here again!
