Perfect Balboa Island Vacation

We love this property! It is the perfect setting for a Balboa Island vacation. It has direct beach access steps from the large, comfortable patio with amazing views of the bay and Newport peninsula. There are sand and water toys galore, including 4 stand up paddleboards and a kayak. It comfortably sleeps our family and includes private access to a washer and dryer, which is essential with our young kids. The host is wonderful, and super responsive and accommodating. This was our third stay at this property and we can't wait to come back again soon!

Great spot!

We had a great family vacation at this house. Is a convenient location and we thoroughly enjoyed the patio with comfortable furniture and umbrellas which made it great anytime of day to sit and watch the boats, people, sunrises, sunsets, etc

The location on the island was hard to beat, and Nikki was very easy to work with. Our family loved the walk out patio and the casual vibe of the unit - perfect for the beach. We hope to go back!

Great family vacation rental!

We love this property on Balboa Island! This is our second time staying here and it continues to be perfect for our family of six. The location on the island can't be beat and the beach related amenities great. Our kids spent hours on the beach playing with the sand toys and paddles boards while the adults had perfect views from the comfortable patio. The property manager is amazing and was super responsive before and throughout the stay. We can't wait to come back for another stay.

On the boardwalk

At the end of the main drive into and out of town, super location near market, restaurants and frozen bananas. This lower-level unit is a nice 3bd,2ba unit with good sized kitchen, dining table and large sofa in the living room. But the real living space is the deck, seating for 4-6 on a sofa plus a dining table, watching all the people walk by watching you watch them watch you. Upper unit has smaller deck, first floor was bigger ... it was fun

Visiting our college age kids

We went to visit our twins who are in college for their Birthday weekend. This house was perfect! Greeted with a beautiful view and a bottle of wine. They have all the things you need including sup which I love. We enjoyed the patio and the kitchen. Owner was super responsive and let us check in early as well.

Great Patio and comfortable beds!

Our stay was great! Had all the kitchen items needed, lots of toys and boards for the kids. Best patio, large and comfortable for visiting. Only downsides was upstairs guests were so loud till late in the right running back and fourth, no stereo downstairs that works, TV was only option and garage was taken when we got there. Otherwise it was great, might be hot in the summer months though.

Nice place on Balboa Island

Excellent location on the water so you can watch the parade of boats and people walk by. Close to Marine Ave. but wasn't noisy. Comfortable place and enough room for six of us. You won't be disappointed!

Very clean; a perfect beach house.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this bay front location. It was the perfect blend between comfort and necessary. It had everything my family required for a week long stay on the Island. The front porch and immediate beach access, with a bbq on the water front, made it a very relaxing vacation. The owner, Nikki, was very accommodating and pleasant. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Balboa Island. It's got it all, location, comfort and accommodations for your family.

Relaxing getaway

We loved sitting outside watch the boats go by and enjoying the nice weather. The house has paddle boards to use. It was fun being able to access the water every easily. The house looks like it was recently remodeled. Everything worked great!

Nice but. . .

The place is fine but having never stayed on Balboa island before I would def rethink staying so proximate to a traffic of people walking by, neighbors (BBQ smoke, kids, etc.) above, next door and virtually everywhere), and with adults who may need "room" around the 2 king beds. Place is "tight" and def needs a refresh especially for the price we paid.
