"Cozy place everything we need and in great walking distance to all the shops and stores on Balboa Island. Price was great, was a little cramped for 3 people, 2 adults and daughter, but otherwise had everything we needed for mellow vacation stay."

"House had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Fireplace was an extra nice touch. Location can’t be beat! I would stay again! Garage is actually a good size for two vehicles but a challenge comes into play because there are trash bins in the alley from the market. Without those trash bins you have plenty a room but since they’re there, one vehicle is probably ideal. One small thing to note (I didn’t rate down for) was the cleaning crew arriving after we were told we could check in early....

"Cute apartment with a nice rooftop deck. Looks just like the pictures. Feels more like a cottage with the beamed ceilings in the living room. Comfy bed, fast wifi, pleasant kitchen and bathroom. Garage parking was great to have. Note that only smaller cars/suvs will fit. Excellent communication with the host. Will rent again! "

"The house size and location cannot be beat. Close to the water and shops on adorable Balboa Island. The room configuration and bathroom for each bedroom make it an ideal stay for friends or family. The living room has ample seating and a great big cozy gas fireplace for Fall and Winter stays. Private courtyard with dining table is great and open porch in front to hangout too. The downsides were stained rugs, horrible smell from kitchen faucet, sink and dishwasher. Not sure if house specific or...
