This was exactly as shown in the post and close to the ferry, shops, and easy to walk to town. Newport Rentals communicated all information well on how to enter and exactly what was expected. Lovely little rental for a family or a few friends! Seemed newly remodeled and everything worked well. Thank you for a great week on Balboa Island. Being on the island, what is there to say but we will be back soon!

Very nice cottage and the updated kitchen and baths were really nice.One thing was that the bunk bed was very close to the ceiling and you could not use the ceiling fan if someone slept up there because it would likely hit them as they enter/exit the bed on the ladder

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!

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.
