This charming 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, Balboa front unit is perfect for your next family vacation. Located centrally on Balboa Island, just a short walk away from the Ferry and the historic Marine Avenue where you can find quaint boutiques and restaurants.

The home offers a lovely front porch with a table for 4 for relaxing and enjoying a meal outside. Upon entering, you will be greeted with a spacious living and dining room with plenty of comfortable seating for the whole family and a dining table that seats 6. The kitchen is fully stocked with updated appliances, a double oven, and a breakfast bar that seats 3.

The first bedroom in the front of the home, off the kitchen, has a queen bed, a dresser, closest space, and plenty of natural light. Down the hall past the kitchen are 2 full bathrooms, one with a tub/shower combination, the other with a shower. You will also find the remaining 3 bedrooms down the hall, all with queen beds and closet space. The back 2 bedrooms can be accessed from inside the home, but also have doors leading out to the walk way between the front unit and the shared garage.

In the walk way between the front unit and the shared garage, you will find a grill for your use as well as the pedestrian door to access the garage. In the garage, you will have access to the full sized washer and dryer that is also shared with the upper unit's guests as well as a designated spot on the right side of the garage.

Beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Close walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed walking the boardwalk around Balboa Island and stopping at the beaches along the way. The home was comfortable and clean, we enjoyed the patio out front.

Semi annual trip with friends. Location makes it easy to walk to shops, ferry to beach & pier, and local restaurants. Newport Beach Vacations was super about keeping us up to date on responsibilities without it feeling like a burden. They helped make it a better vacation.

This place is so cute! Walking distance to everything on balboa island. It’s clean and well managed. They offer a discount at Duffy boat rentals too which is just an added bonus. Great stay!
