Birthday Weekend
We rented this beautiful home for the weekend to celebrate our daughter’s 18th birthday and it was a DREAM! The location is great and right near the pier and local shops and restaurants. The home is right on the boardwalk next to the sand, and it is a dream home! We had coffee in the morning and sat outside and watched all the runners and bicyclists passing by., went to the beach during the day and the home has a ton of towels and beach equipment ready to use. Just wake up and walk out your front door and you’re there! The home has a parking garage that fit our two cars just perfectly and it also had bikes and beach chairs inside. The bedrooms were comfy, clean and well decorated and had plenty of amenities. The best part? The AC! So nice to be able to put it on especially during the heat wave. We were able to go to a nice dinner nearby and then come home and have cake and celebrate. The teens ran around outside doing all of their “Instagram worthy” photos and really enjoyed the sunsets each night. The host was great to communicate with and easy to message. This was the best home to have a group in and we will definitely be back!

California Dreaming
Absolutely STUNNING property! Location, Location, Location this is the place! Family time taken to a whole new level enjoying this property. From sitting on the porch and enjoying the California sunset to walking (or riding bikes) along the boardwalk, to taking the ferry to Balboa Island, every moment was a moment we will cherish.

Long Weekend
We stayed here over the Labor Day weekend. There were 14 of us. We all had plenty of space to hang out and everyone felt comfortable. There are enough beds for everyone. We really enjoyed sitting outside. We also swam in the ocean just in front of the house. The house is definitely very clean. It has everything we needed, plenty of towels, the kitchen is fully stocked. The host texted me as soon as I arrived, and was always responsive during our stay. We will definitely be back.

The house was a perfect pick for our family of 6 ranging in age from 21 to 78! The location on the beach was amazing and fun. The house was very comfortable and exceptionally clean. We were also impressed at the generous amount of bath towels, beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and toys. The local VBRO property manager was in touch with us soon after we checked in and made it clear that she was available should we need anything.

Fabulous beach-front house and completely equipped with lots of space. We had 3 generations of family, ranging from 6 to 81 and house had great gathering rooms as well as private quiet areas. Perfectly located on Balboa Peninsula with many nearby options but a very quiet home inside. Older, well maintained home with lots of character and well decorated!

Fabulous
This VRBO couldn't have been better for our family. We have no suggestions to improve. The family used all the bikes. We really appreciated the kids toys and being across from the beach as we had twin boys (2 years old) here from Switzerland. The bed in the closet was a nice surprise for the boys. The host was easy to contact. The kitchen was well furnished. Plenty of towels. One suggestion--if possible don't check in Saturday or Sunday as parking is really tricky. We arrived for 4:00 check in and asked the cleaning lady to move her truck over so we park in the garage. (The garage is roomy for 2 cars.) My California families tell me that they are use to difficult parking. Once they were in the lot, they were fine. Easy the rest of the week. Thanks again. It was a great stay.

On the beach
We appreciated this beach house being one complete house, not separated with a front and back unit. We had a couple of toddlers with us that enjoyed the sand toys. We used the crib and the pack n play provided from the home. The large dining table and living area (with two sofas and two loveseats) were great for family conversations and games. Beds and bedrooms were very comfortable. plenty of bathrooms for our group. We never used the beach cruiser bikes, but there were six on property. There were a few beach chairs, but the two we tried to use were a little broken. We all loved the real hardwood floors in this property. So glad they haven’t really been replaced with something cheap. It’s a beautiful home right on the boardwalk. One thing to note- the sand in front of the home does not have a gradual slope to the ocean. There were two steeper sandy drops to get to the water. Not that big of a deal, but it does not have a gradual transition from the ocean to the sand. We’re hoping to come again with warmer weather.

Great location on the beach
This house is in a perfect location on the beach and just close (but not too close) to the Balboa Ferry and the restaurants on the Peninsula. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the house and all the amenities (especially the bikes!). We had a couple of small issues like a missing iron which were resolved within in an hour so could not have asked for more. And oh what a sunset every night!

Loved our stay at this property!
Loved our 5 night stay at this property. Description in the listing is very accurate. Accommodated our group of 9, and everybody easily had a place to retreat in the evenings. Location was perfect-Within walking and biking distance to great restaurants and shopping. We hardly needed our car. The beach house was so cozy, with so much natural light, and has everything we needed. Instructions in the home were clear and informative. Pat was very responsive and pleasant. Went above and beyond to accommodate us when our flights were delayed and canceled on the day of our departure. Totally recommend! Hope to be back

Family Forever Memories
Everything about staying at this property was wonderful. The owner Pat made it especially wonderful with her attention to detail and mission of making this house a place for families to create beautiful shared memories. Highlights: Swimming with the dolphins jumping next to you on the beach right in front of the house, our three young adult girls biking the boardwalk, walking to Balboa pier and having shakes at Ruby’s, taking the ferry over to Balboa island - all quick walks from the house. Other favorites, hanging out in the chairs facing the boardwalk & talking for hours with family members, playing board games until late at night, and putting our feet up and sinking into the comfy couches. Beds were heaven to sleep in too! Views from the top two bedrooms in front were a dream. A perfect house for everyone to have a special personal experience but also enjoy family. We will be coming back! Five stars from the Le Piere family from Vegas ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Thank you so much, Pat!

Fantastic vacation home
As former vacation home owners, I know what it takes to deliver a quality vacation home experience . It takes a lot of attention to detail to do it right. Our family of fourteen people had a great time. Communications was terrific. The location was perfect. The home had all we needed, particularly in the kitchen.
