Enjoyed the place. Small but charming, can see the water, and its on Balboa Island. Process was easy.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Nov 2025
Management company was great. The unit was outdated. The microwave sits on a crate, the sheets do not fit because of the mattress pad which was way too soft and very uncomfortable. The shower head needs to be replaced. It was corroded and the water hardly trickled out. It would have been easier to just fill a bucket and pour it over us than the few water drops streaming out. I was disappointed the Dutch door was permanently locked where it couldn’t be opened. The bath towels were thin and low quality. I think the management company did the best they could with the unit as is. This place did not meet our expectations.
