    Small but clean and well equipped..The twin beds are mainly for children. But the sofa bed in the living room was fine as well as the master.Very convenient to the South Bay front for walking.The heater in the living room did not work.

    The house needed some basic items like a cutting board and a working coffee maker. The house was clean and cozy.

    Great from beginning to end. Very very clean and well thought out. Charming original cottage on Balboa Island. We loved this place. It was cozy but well appointed. Worked perfectly for us. If you like vintage (which I do), you will love this little gem. Loved everything about it.
