All around great place.
We live about 20 mins away, but had a group of friends (early 30s with a couple kids) coming in and wanted to stay on the beach.
This unit had everything we needed- grill, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, beach toys/chairs/towels.
We picked this place because we like the location in Balboa with the beach and fire pits steps away. Also there are a few low key bars, restaurants and near the ferry to Balboa Island. We basically did not have to drive after we checked in.
