    Our stay was very enjoyable! It was great having a place to park in the garage and the area was perfect for dining, shops and things to do. The apartment was very clean and had plenty of towels and blankets for us to use. The only thing to potentially improve on was when we first arrived, it took a while for the apartment to cool down as there was only one unit. The bedrooms were the last to cool down. Overall great stay and would recommend to others!

    This was my first time renting back unit and not a main house- but the apartment was perfect for us! Excellent location near the shops and restaurants, as well as the sand. Very clean. The beds and couch were cozy. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan as well as an oscillating fan. It’s true the AC does not reach the bedrooms, but open the windows and turn on the fans, and the room was very comfortable to sleep. The split door in the entry allows for lots of cross breeze. The AC in the living area cools quickly. Rental company was very responsive and friendly. Check out was a breeze without a long list of chores. We would definitely stay again.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Balboa Island. Our rental was stocked with many convenient options that made our stay very pleasant! This unit is comfortable and very clean. We did not rent a vehicle and it was very easy to walk anywhere on the island.

    Very nice condition. Feels private and secluded (for a Balboa Island property). Location to Main Street with shops and restaurants is outstanding.

    This was a very nice place, newly remodeled and very clean. Sofa was comfy, beds were comfy, nice bath & beach towels. It’s always a plus having parking available since the traffic is very busy on Balboa Island. The bedrooms are in the back above the garage so it’s very private and separate from the front unit which is rented out by a long-term tenant. I didn’t mind the hustle and bustle in the alley at 6 AM because we are up early and go to bed early. Washer and dryer and garage was very convenient and they supplied soap as well as shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. All appliances worked great if you’re going to use them but overall I give this place five stars and would definitely come back!

    Our stay at this beach house was great. The home is in the perfect location, a short walk to restaurants and shopping. Very clean and organized. We will definitely rent this home again.
