    Stay was good. Property was a little worn and can use some updating. Window cranks are stripped making it hard to open windows for air flow. That said, location was great and check in was easy!

    Being on Balboa is the best. Great location and walkable to all shops and restaurants on the island. House definitely needs some improvements, a little run down. Third bedroom didn’t really feel like a bedroom with how you had to access it, and the second twin bed in there is actually a trundle. We booked sort of late so I was so happy to find something for the holiday! Communication was excellent with the property manager.

    We stayed a week at this home and there were some pros and cons. The pros were that it's in a great location, walkable to all the shops and restaurants. There was a great Mexican food restaurant about a 3 minute walk from us and the ferry was really close as well. The house was clean but it was pretty old and run down. The A/C barely worked so it was really warm inside in the afternoon and evening. The garage is tiny and shared with another car so it wasn't an option to park in there but there's plenty of parking in the street. And there is a third bedroom but we couldn't use it because the bed was really small and my kids were too tall. Overall the management was very nice and the house worked out but we would probably opt to rent a different house next time we come into town.
