Exceeded Our Expectations

From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. The layout is open and bright, the furnishings are high quality, and all the amenities are top notch. We especially appreciated the convenience of the laundry, the well-equipped kitchen, and the nearby walkability to everything on Balboa Island.

Traveling with kids can be tricky, but this place made it easy. Spacious bedrooms, comfortable living space, and just a minute?s stroll to ice cream shops and the bay. Evenings were magical, walking over to restaurants, enjoying local life. We were sad to leave!

Great location, close to restaurants, but quiet at night. Plenty of space for a family of 4.

Magical Stay in a Dream Location

This rental is a hidden gem. You?re right in the heart of Balboa Island yet still feel private. The balance of modern updates and island charm is perfect. The host was responsive and helpful. If you want to relax, walk everywhere, and soak in the local vibes, stay here.

We absolutely loved our stay at 122 1/2 Marine Ave. The home was beautifully updated with modern touches, spotless, and full of character. Just steps from shops, ferries, and the beach. We couldn?t have asked for a better location. Highly recommend!

The hosts were great, accommodating an early check in for one us arriving early.
Cool location. But not a lot of street parking.
Massive detriment was the ac not working. So the internal temperature of the place was hot in the evening/ night. Hard to sleep in that.
Cool place though.
Reply: Thank you for the review, Noel. We are sorry to hear about the parking and AC inconveniences. As noted in the property description, this home does not offer air conditioning, but we are always happy to supply fans. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the location and hope to host you again!
