About this house rental

Welcome to your perfect Balboa Island escape. This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath beach retreat is just five doors from the sand, making it effortless to slip into island life from the moment you arrive.

Start your day with a dawn power walk around the island—a local ritual you’ll quickly fall in love with. Upon return, brew gourmet coffee in the bright, open kitchen. Upon request, we can deliver a continental breakfast from a favorite local bakery, bringing that classic BnB touch to your stay.

Cruise the island in one of our golf cart rental, glide across the bay on a stand-up paddleboard, or unwind at the beach with chairs, towels, and toys ready for you and your family.

As the day winds down, the magic really begins. Book a private sunset cruise or gather on the patio, around the fire pit for a cozy evening under the stars.
NOTE: 100% renovation in works. We re-open June 11,2026. Photos are realistic 3D renderings illustrating our new unit.

Details:

--2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
--Maximum occupancy: 5 guests

--Come experience the rhythm of the island—slow, sunny, and just a little bit magical.

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.

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!

While we always enjoy our visits to Balboa, our overriding impression for this property was that it’s excellent location deserves better maintenance and more thoughtful furnishings and decor.
