Summary: Perfect stay! Patricia, Andrew & Ruby are the perfect hosts. We loved their place & enjoyed the patio everyday. The added touches like soap, shampoo, beach chairs, towels, bikes & wine made it so special. The location is a perfect with a mix of a quiet street and a quick walk to the water. Thank you for a perfect vacation.

Summary: I have rented many properties on Balboa Island. This unit is without a doubt my favorite. It is filled with that Balboa charm that we always look for. The home is only five houses to the water, and is accessible to the ferry and the shops and restaurants on Marine. The host was always very responsive. My only regret is that I didn’t book for a longer stay. But… we will definitely visit again!

Summary: We had such a wonderful stay at this very family friendly condo, our kids loved the single beds and the host spared no expense on all the details! This house had EVERYTHING thought out so well and the kitchen is STOCKED!! The hosts that live right up stairs in this two unit building, even left a fresh bag of coffee and filters for us! We would definitely book again if we are in the area!! 💜

Summary: We really enjoyed this lovely gem. The hosts were very generous in making sure we had everything we needed from beach chairs to beach cruisers. The ferry is very close and it’s also a short walk to Marine Ave. where all the shops and restaurants are. We hope to return here every time we visit OC.

Summary: We loved our stay. Maybe slightly overpriced given the overall state of the aging property but the location is a win.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at this property. It is a cute apartment in a great location on Balboa Island, a few blocks from the quaint downtown and a couple of blocks from the ferry and steps from the water. The owners live upstairs and are helpful should you have any issues or questions. Parking was easy on the street. We used the bikes, and they worked well. The bathroom and kitchen are a bit retro and bathroom is on the smaller side, but it was totally fine for us. The only real negative for me was that on Thursday and Friday at 7 or 8 am, I was woken by planes flying overhead (as I think John Wayne Airport is nearby). My husband wasn't bothered at all. I am a light sleeper and he isn't. It didn't happen on Saturday morning thankfully. Just something to consider if you are a super light sleeper and noise freak like me. All in all, I really enjoyed our time at this property.

Summary: It was everything we expected and more. The check-in was very easy. The location was amazing. It’s definitely a quiet place to be at night. We walked and rode their bikes around the island a few times, and loved it! Riding the car/passenger ferry to the beaches was easy and cheap, a must do! I would definitely stay there again.
