We had the most lovely stay on Balboa Island with our group of five women. The accommodations were great and we loved the location and walkabilty of the island. Brad was a fantastic host. And the use of the Duffy boat was the highlight of our trip.

Super fun Christmas family celebration

Our sons and grandchildren stayed here with us and it was perfect for us. Great grandparents, Aunts and Uncles joined us for Christmas dinner and there was plenty of room. Great location. We walked to the ferry, restaurants downtown, and there are two markets that are walking distance.

Island Gem

This is a wonderful location on Balboa Island! We vacation on the island almost every year and this property is one of our favorites. There are many amenities that other houses don’t provide such as paddle boards, kayaks, and an optional use of the Duffy boat. Our family, from grandparents to infants, thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great location, place & host!

This is a fantastic vacation rental for families with young children or adults looking for a very comfortable beach house in a great location. It has a large patio on the harbor, two large bedrooms, an 8-minute walk to restaurants and shops, and parking with room for two SUVs. It was very clean and stocked with all the kitchen tools, nice towels and sheets, and lots of sand toys for the kids. Brad, the host, is very responsive and wants to ensure you have everything you need and a great stay. Even though we only live less than 30 minutes away, this will become our yearly vacation spot!

Great Getaway

Our 3 generation family getaway to Balboa was perfect for everyone. The teens loved paddle boarding, the parents enjoyed the Serenity of our ocean view and the grandparents were delighted with Brad’s beautiful home and all its amenities. The colorful sunsets and ocean views made our family gathering one to remember. We look forward to returning to charming Balboa soon and would love to stay in the same house as it was wonderful for all of us. Thanks for being a great host Brad.

Balboa Island Paradise

What a fantastic 4 nights and 5 days! Let’s start with Brad! What a fantastic host! Brad was 1st class all the way. Friendly, helpful and made us feel welcomed the entire time. Location, Location, Location! Right on the water with a private boat deck where we enjoyed happy hour. The Duffy boat rental was an added benefit. All accommodations were excellent. Cable TV with plenty of channels including HBO and Showtime. Beds and closet space was excellent for my family. Parked the car and walked to all restaurants, ferry and beach. I looked at several places on the island and glad we chose this property! Hope to be back soon! Thanks Again!

This is wonderful house located right on the beach path on Balboa Island. We have stayed here many times, my wife and I and sometimes our adult children. Two steps to the beach and you are all set; beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels come with the house. The owner, Brad, is super responsive, getting back to us quickly and solving any problems (although there seldom are any problems). We cannot wait until our next vacation at this property.
