This place is amazing!

We were in the area for a regatta and this place was adorable, perfectly located and so easy to be in - the treats/snacks were such a great touch. We are thinking about coming back soon just so we can stay here again. Thank you to Pete for making it so magical.

We loved the location, the cozy Apt and the ease of parking plus the easy walks to the Main Street.

Great location for getting around and Corona Del Mar and Newport Beach. It was great opportunity to see several friends from when we lived in SOCA. Pete was a great host and we will be coming back.

Wonderful , comfortable studio apartment

The apartment was an excellent choice offering everything I needed in its amenities, it’s setting located near the ocean, access to restaurants, and peacefulness.

Great Balboa Island stay

This a really pleasant, attractive place to stay on Balboa Island, would come again. Nice hospitality by the host. Clean, nice furnishings, just an enjoyable stay. Actually, it is a small one-bedroom apartment, so more privacy than a studio apartment. No on-site parking, but street parking within a block was easy to find. Highly recommended!

Hidden Gem for solo or young couples in Balboa Island

Pete is such a wonderful host and very responsive. The place is very clean, inviting cozy and everything are well organized in small space. Easy to park on the street and so quick, 5 mins walk to go to many restaurants, grocery store or get good coffee & pastries. You will relax to watch sunrise or sunset at ocean in 1/2 block walk. Highly recommended to stay the blue door bungalow if you are solo traveler to relax your mind in this busy world.

Sweet and Comfy Cottage

After a long day of travel, we were so happy to find this cottage welcoming and adorably decorated with a tasteful beach theme. The host left us wonderful charcuterie goodies and a bottle of champagne in the fridge. Lots of fluffy pillows and blankets, soft towels and super comfy bed. The sweet deck was the perfect place to relax and plan our next adventure for the day. Close enough for a quick walk to the main street for shopping and restaurants but still tucked away on a quiet alley. We can’t wait to go back!

Best Host EVER!

This is an adorable, classic Balboa Island apartment. It is immaculate, comfortable and was the perfect spot for me to revisit the area where I grew up. The blue and white 'beachy' theme is carried throughout and there are quality sheets and plenty towels. I was met with delicious wine, coffee and snacks which were a welcome surprise. I loved everything about my stay. I have rented large and small rentals in many locations and a few countries. Pete is by far my most favorite host. He made checking in easy with photos and instructions. He also checked in with me to see if I had everything I needed at the apartment or if I needed any local tips. He helped to make me feel part of the neighborhood. Thank you so much!
