After living in Orange County for over 50 years, we moved mom to be closer to us in Oregon. This was a trip to say goodbye to friends and family as well as experience Balboa Island from an insiders point of view! This single level, beautiful house did not disappoint!!!!
Reply: Carol, thank you for choosing us for this special occasion! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again soon!

Idyllic Island Home

This house was perfectly situated on little Balboa island. It was exceptionally clean and decorated. We were able to fit two cars in the garage so no parking issues. Loved walking out the front door for a walk or a swim/paddle. We still stay here again.

What a gem. This house is perfectly situated on little Balboa island. It was exceptionally clean (my Dad is an infectious disease doctor so that says a lot!) and decorated. We were able to fit two cars in the garage so no parking issues. Loved walking out the front door for a walk or a swim/paddle. It’s incredibly serene and peaceful, we were so happy with everything. The host was very proactive at communicating and making sure we had a good stay. We still stay here again.
Reply: Hannah, thank you so much for your glowing review! We are so pleased to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the surrounding amenities! We can't wait to welcome you back in the future!

What a lovely week we had! This home is comfortable and perfectly located, looking out on the bay. The patio has comfortable furniture. The small island is bliss! We walked everywhere including for all our meals. The house is very clean, quiet and charming. The garage is a bonus too!
*Suggestions: All Bathroom towels need replacing. They are small, worn out and too thin to be absorbent. Also, please have housekeeping make sure all the flatware and all the knives in the knife block are clean before putting them away. Overall, the rental was BLISS and we look forward to returning soon.

It was comfortable and quiet. We loved sitting on the patio and watching all of the activities going on. Walking distance for everything. 2 very minor issues that were corrected very quickly. I would suggest some kind of window covering for the living room. Not any privacy in the living room. We have stayed on the main Balboa Island several times. This was the first time in Little Island and we loved it. Very kind and caring neighbors. We would love to come and stay again!

Thank you for a peaceful and beautiful stay. I was recovering from surgery on this water in this gorgeous home.
Appreciate the cleanliness and view! We will be back again! My only feedback is you need some plastic glass wear and plates for outdoor!
Thank you :)

House was great, clean great location. We bought a clock for master bedroom, chip clips, more Kleenex and toilet paper for 2 week stay. House could use drape on living room doors facing East Bay. Plastic glasses and plates for patio dining, needed more laundry soap.

A great location for a family vacation and plenty of space to host friends or share the space. We had our family of 4 and some family guests and it was plenty of space. Small beach on Balboa island right out front for kids to play. Could have used a few more towels so if you are reading this and you are renting here bring a few extra and your beach towels as they either aren’t supplied or I just couldn’t find them.
