This place was cute, clean and convenient to both Marine Ave (shops, restaurants and balboa bars) and the ferry to Newport. Only a block from the water with a cute little beach for the kids. Would definitely recommend.

4th of July family weekend

5 of 5

This condo is a great location - easy walk to main street on the island, to the ferry to go over to the peninsula and to the beach (even with kids)! The house had lots of beach toys which the kids really appreciated and couch was comfy for relaxing after a long day playing! The company checked in when we arrived and when I shared that the bathroom wasn’t as clean as I hoped, they were willing to send someone out right away to clean. Having a parking space was an added bonus on a busy holiday weekend!

Location was awesome! we had no issues with no ac in july and they provided 2 box fans which we just put in the windows and it kept us cool all night. August might be a different story but i'll definitely stay again next year. Communication was not great as i asked 2 questions and never got a response. We could have checked in earlier as we saw the house cleaners leave when we parked our car. House is big and clean. i highly recommend.

5 of 5

Amazing location, easy to find, perfect access to all Balboa has to offer. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. It didn’t affect us but Just be aware that Balboa Island is currently installing high bandwidth fibre so there is quite a lot of construction work ongoing on the island with road closures and heavy equipment in most areas. .

If you are looking for a place to just park your car for the trip, this is it as everything you'll need for a restful and enjoyable time away can be walked to. If you want to venture out further, the ferry can take you over to the main beach boardwalk and even more things to enjoy.

This 2 bedroom condo is a great get away. We actually parked our car in the attached garage and did not move it till we left. Everything is within walking distance--shopping, eating, kayaking and jogging/walking around the 2 mile of the island. The condo was clean with a large living/dining/kitchen area. I would go back in a minute!!!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and had a wonderful trip. Great location and makes most places walkable or rideable by bike. Will definitely be staying here again. Only complaint I would have is that beach towels weren’t provided as they had been in the past, but there was plenty of beach equipment to use in the garage.
