Lovely Home in Central Location
We loved our stay! The home is centrally located on the island - my husband loved the close access to a good cup of coffee (across the street), I loved being able to take a gorgeous walk to the ferry, and our son loved the proximity to the sand. The home is immaculately clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The hosts were generous and forthright about an unforeseen issue, which was truly very kind and gracious. We've stayed in the upstairs unit, too, which is also fantastic! Highly recommend either (or both for a large family!) Enjoy!

The Perfect Island stay!!
I have been renting places in Newport Beach and on Balboa Island for about 15 years and this was probably my favorite property to date! It is beautifully decorated, it’s very clean and has everything you need and more! The bathrooms are beautiful and updated and beds are comfy! Plenty of towels and extras ! We walked in to find a large basket with all kinds of snacks and a bottle of wine waiting for us! The communication was superb and the location was so convenient to the shops and restaurants (you can literally see Huskins coffee shop on the corner from your front porch). I would definitely rent here again!

Perfect stay
All I want to say is I would love to live at this place! Professionally decorated and clean as can be. The location was perfect for all of us as we liked to stroll along the main street. It was such a great house and such friendly neighbors!

Family reunion
This was the absolute perfect property for us, our two adult kids and their spouses. Very generous living room seating, large dining area, kitchen with everything! Location is one block off of the Main Street allowing us to run to the grocery store, enjoy the cafes and shopping. Easy walk to the ferry. It was great having a designated parking spot. And a shout out to Rob who amazoned extra coffee over to us within hours when our coffee loving family needed more coffee!

Perfect Balboa Island Cottage
This property was perfect for our family reunion and vacation. We loved the close proximity to Marine Ave, as the kids would venture off to shop and eat at their leisure. This house is beautifully decorated and immaculate! And we so appreciated the welcome snacks and wine, as we had a long day of travel. A very nice personal touch!! Ron was very responsive and organized. We are hoping to stay again next summer!

Beautiful rental!
This was a perfect rental for our family of 5. Ron has thought of every possible thing we might have needed. Very well stocked with thoughtful snacks and wine, and very clean. Having a parking spot on Balboa Island was fantastic, and we were literally a 30-second walk to all the shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. Coffee on the front patio was a lovely way to start the day. Highly recommend.

Cute downstairs rental steps from main street
This is a spacious comfortable and well designed 3 bedroom rental just a half block from the main street with shops, cafes, and restaurants. The master bathroom is very spacious and both bathrooms have walk in showers. The kitchen is well stocked and we appreciated the snacks and wine. The outdoor patio is a nice place to enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks, although this is a house currently under construction across the street. It was great being steps away from everything, but that also meant that it was a bit on the noisy side with foot and vehicle traffic on Balboa Ave that runs along the side of the house. That said, we would rent this property again.

Perfect Balboa Island Experience
The property was perfect for our stay. Location was close to the shops and excellent coffee! Parking was easy. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee, snacks and water bottles- always a big plus. Beds are comfortable and the place was super clean. We especially enjoyed the living so we could watch some college football and movies. Highly recommend this property. The only thing that wasn’t “perfect” was you could hear the folks upstairs waking around but we’re early risers so it didn’t bother us at all! Overall it exceeded our expectations! We’ll be back again for sure.
