We absolutely loved our stay here. The unit was nice and bright and in such a cute area. It was better than expected and the unit was well equipped. Communication was prompt and we had no issues whatsoever. We would stay here again!

Had a great stay here- would definitely come again but next year I think we will book two weeks. They did a really great job with the space. Hosts were very responsive when we had needs. Garage space is a big plus. We brought bikes and that’s our favorite way to get around since parking is limited on the island. The downside is the staircase next to the alleyway/ driveway- which we knew about- but these drivers are race car drivers. Did help when a neighbor put out an orange kid to remind the crazies to slow down and we reminded the kids to tread lightly when exiting the stairs- but that has more to do with inconsiderate drivers than anything and reminded us to slow down when we were driving the alleys.

This newly renovated rental was a very clean & comfortable, and my family of four enjoyed our stay! The location is great, the unit is above the garage on a home that fronts the bay, so we were steps to the water. The beds were super comfortable. During our stay, we were unable to use the garage due to road construction outside of the host's control, but that was communicated in advance. Future guests will really enjoy this amenity.
Of note to those unfamiliar with Balboa Island, at 7AM the jets start taking off from John Wayne and don't stop until about 10PM. Balboa Island is directly under the flight path, so it's loud. It didn't ruin our fun by any means but we are an early to bed early to rise family and it got a little annoying in the evenings as the windows are usually open to enjoy the sea breeze.
Overall a great stay, we boated, walked, dined, and shopped on Balboa and had a very nice stay. Thank you!

The peace of our stay was substantially altered by major street drain repairs which neither the owners or property management co had notice of more than 3 days before our arrival. The management co was VERY helpful intrying to rectify the problem and offered a move to larger property options in the surrounding Peninsula though we choose to stay. We will definitely choose this same property for future stays.

We rented the top unit (two bedrooms and a pull out couch—all VERY COMFORTABLE) for a long weekend get away. The house is beautiful and location is amazing. The house had everything you want/need from a rental. We will be back!

Reviewer Comments:
I rented the unit for a solo business trip, over the course of 4 days and it was perfect! Unit was very clean and had all necessities for a great stay. I rented the unit instead of hotel so I could cook and have some extra space and it did not disappoint. Location was perfect on the bay and I couldn’t recommend this particular unit and property management company more. Great communication and prompt to respond. Completely transparent process. Thank you for your hospitality and I will be renting again.
