Weekend in Balboa

This was an incredible property for a weekend stay in Balboa. Location less than a minute walk from the ferry made it very easy to get around. Very spacious property with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, making it a great choice for large groups. The property manager was very responsive and kind. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Local on Balboa

We loved this location... our teenage sons went across the street to play basketball several times a day! Perfect spot with a small market and restaurant steps away, or we took the stroll to the main shops. Really enjoyed our stay... thank you!

Staycation

Enjoyed a visit to Balboa last year and did it again this year. Kids, 15 and 12, know the island and Newport well. Close to the ferry, a garage space and AC. Host was responsive and very accommodating. No complaints.

Great 4 bedroom on Balboa Island

It is very hard to find a 4 bedroom on balboa island. For the price, this place is a lot of bang for your buck. The owners are tremendous.

Great location and room for family members

We had a wonderful time on Balboa Island and the house was a quick walk to everything. Robin was very friendly and helpful. House is well stocked with all beach needs like towels and chairs. Great restaurant right next door:)

Fun at the Beach!

Great stay that accommodated all of our needs and more! Loved having access to all the beach toys! Great location, easy access to and from the airport, to and from Disneyland, to and from the beach, and quick walk to the marina. The beds were a bit small and uncomfortable and the curtains in the rooms (if there were any) could be switched for blackout. Otherwise a very enjoyable vacation!

Cute Island

Cute area. The house was a little worse for the ware (showers not working, broken small appliances, patched holes in the wall) but that makes sense after what I’m sure was a busy summer season. It was good for what we needed- a place to crash for two nights. I don’t think we would have tolerated a longer stay

You can't go wrong on Balboa Island

The location of this place is great. However, the roof leaked making the tile floor dangerous, cracked dishes were present and we had items taken from the garage, without leaving it unlocked, and with poor assistance from the host. I'll stay on Balboa again, but not here.

Perfect House, Perfect Owners

We rented this house for a family event nearby. We came from Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Colorado. Our party included five adults and three children. The children loved sleeping in the bunk room and there was plenty of room for the adults, even when sharing a room. And having three bathrooms was a huge plus. We were very pleased with the location of the house and loved riding the ferry back and forth to Balboa Peninsula or walking to the main street for ice cream. The owners were very professional, accommodating and responsive. The house was sparkling clean and included everything we needed, from extra paper towels to K-cups. I highly recommend this rental!

No parking for trucks and trailers.

I had reserved this home to stay for a nearby project we were completing. On arrival the street was narrow, and there was no place for us to park the truck and trailer. Then asked the host for a refund. They could not give me one and mention that I had to do it myself. Well, I did I tried to cancel the And the system would not let me cancel. We could not stay at this location due to parking with the truck and trailer that we had so we had to pay to stay somewhere else and pay for that reservation as well. I also own Vrbo vacation rentals this has happened in the past to some of my clients or customers and I always refund them their money if there’s any type of a problem. I think owner is more worried about the money in their pocket than to do what is right for their customers

Nice location

This house is in a great location. It’s NOT ocean view but it is just a quick little walk to the ferry and a nice walkway along the harbor. To get beach access you cross the ferry and it’s just a couple blocks. Overall we loved the location. There were a few things that the house needed , there were either no batteries in the tv remotes or they were dead. The downstairs bathroom is extremely tiny and there was no toilet paper holder, & no counter whatsoever. Upstairs was decent. Although on our way to the house we got a message that we were unable to use one of the upstairs showers which was inconvenient traveling with a large family. Also the parking is difficult, I was under the impression there was a 2 car garage but also last minute we were informed that we had to share the garage with another tenant. Don’t bring a truck, it will not fit. The parking along the street is packed and hard to find parking. The house was decently clean but it’s nothing fancy if that’s what your used to. Maybe check before booking that all the house amenities are in working condition, showers, tv’s etc.

Girls weekend

Girls trip for 5. Location was great, close to ferry and short walk to shopping and dining. Ended up driving a Tahoe and there was available street parking, the garage would have been too tight. We parked the car and left it for the weekend just using the ferry and walking everywhere.
