Fantastic Time On Balboa Island
Greg was a fantastic host and his home was perfect for our family. Plenty of room to spread out and centrally located to make walks and access super easy! The rooftop deck and backyard patio on the canal were just bonuses.

Perfect family home
Great location near shops, restaurants and a grocer. Fantastic neighborhood to walk with little to no noise! Easy commute to inland experiences. Owner was friendly and prompt with communication. Parking a larger truck on side streets near the house was easy and within a two minute walk.

Outstanding Property!
Beautiful property in a great location! Host was wonderful and very accommodating! Only issue we had with the property was the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Unfortunately; we had to re-clean the showers before using them. Otherwise, our stay was perfect in every way.

Little Gem
What an amazing little stay we had for my sister in laws bachelorette party. It was so convenient to all the stores and is walking distance to a lot of activities on the island/restaurants. It was so easy to work with Greg and our check in process was seamless. Would definitely rent this place out for my family at some point and hope to in the near future!

House in a Great Location, but in Poor Condition
Great location on Balboa but the house has not been maintained and is in very poor condition. Upon check in: - Owner provided old door codes so had to call him to get access - Beds were not made with linens so made them up ourselves - Wet laundry in dryer - Towels and bed linens were threadbare and stained, old. Really poor condition - House generally unkept and dirty with dust, dirty floors, HVAC vents, windowsills, window blinds are filthy - Walls and woodwork all dirty, marked up - Primary bathroom had missing towel bars, leaking shower fixture - Porch was covered in sand and dirty-had to hose that off myself to make unusable Very nice Owner but for the price it was very disappointing.

Special way to celebrate 21st birthday
My daughter and college friends absolutely loved the property and its plentiful amenities including the kayaks! The rooms have views and have so much natural light. The well appointed kitchen was utilized many times for special meals. And the property manager Greg was fantastic and even dropped off some special desserts. Highly recommend !

Spacious Vibe with a View!
From direct connected garage to a view filled patio and master bedroom we had a wonderful stay! Great showers and large “clean” BBQ along with a fire pit just made us hover at our Balboa home much more than we normally do. The oversized TV provided a nice cool down spot to our days. Next time will have to try the bikes and kayak!

Amazing home and spectacular location!
We celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday this past weekend and had such a wonderful time I’m not sure where to begin… the home has a terrific layout for entertaining. All the rooms, beds and couch/chairs were super comfortable. Spotlessly clean throughout. And so many awesome extras–the kayaks, piano, patios, balcony off the master, games, bikes–we took advantage of them all. The house is literally steps from a specialty market and lots of shops and restaurants on the main downtown street. We will be coming back as soon as possible! This was absolutely one of our very top getaway experiences. And Greg you were such a thoughtful and responsive host, thank you so much!

About the host

We have been HomeAway members since 2011.

Why they chose this property

Our family LOVES Southern California, and all the great things to do here! We have owned this home for over 20 years, and it has been passed from one generation to the next. Balboa Island is a very special place and we are sure you will enjoy it!

What makes this property unique

With large skylights in the Master Bedroom and upstairs hallway, comfortable dining area, roof deck, private dock with a small beach area, and a living room and patio alongside the water, we knew this was the property on the Island that we wanted to own. Superb location with lots of morning sunshine in the bedrooms and a short walk to the downtown and harbor and beach areas as well.
