Loree

We so very much enjoyed our family vacation on Balboa Island - the place was absolutely perfect for the 6 of us adults! It was beautifully remodeled and very comfortable for us. From the start of the day with coffee on the patio, to a wonderful walk around the island and other adventures close by, and then wrapping up each day gathered in the kitchen or back on the patio for some drinks, bbq, and dinner and games together - every day was a blast! We also enjoyed exploring restaurants on the Balboa Peninsula, and the Ferry ride over toward the beach and Fun Zone. Having the two bathrooms made a big difference, as did the two parking spaces. Although street parking was pretty easy to come by too. We had a great time and definitely plan to return as soon as we can!

Reply: Thank you for the lovely review, Loree! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again!

We travelled from England to enjoy a 4 night stay on Balboa island visiting family in Anaheim.
Bolboa island is fabulous, the property is fantastically located, it's quiet during the night and lively during the day.
I enjoyed early morning runs around the island, lunch on the island and ferry rides across to the bay.
I can't wait to bring my family back next year.

Reply: Thank you for the wonderful review, Stuart! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.

We absolutely loved the location of your cozy airbnb. We could walk to restaurants, the market & all of the homes on the peninsula were beautiful. The weather was perfect, the neighborhood was peaceful & I have never slept better! Thank you!

Reply: So glad you enjoyed a little slice of Balboa Island tranquility. I agree, it’s such a great unit in a fabulous location. Come back soon and thanks again for your feedback!

Sweet!

Deborah P.

This cottage is clean, and equipped with everything you need. The upstairs is over the bottom unit’s bedrooms and you can hear walking around from the bedrooms below. The washer/dryer is a huge plus but the absolute best thing about this place is a driveway for parking two cars. If you’re not familiar with Balboa Island, you will understand once you get there. Parking is a commodity here in these beach cities!

Reply: Deborah, we are thrilled to hear your stay with us was so great! Thank you for choosing us and we hope you choose us again!
