This vacation home is truly one of a kind. The main house behind one of Balboa's historical cottages, the lodge was designed to bring all the coziness of a mountain cabin to the coast. We are just minutes by foot from the Balboa Ferry, Fun Zone, and Peninsula beaches. With vaulted ceilings and open living spaces, this is the perfect spot to unwind with family and friends after a long day exploring Newport Beach! The Space: Enter into the foyer, where you can immediately access the ground floor bedroom with brand new King size bed and ensuite bathroom. This room is an excellent option for guests who have trouble climbing stairs! Follow the wood cabin staircase up to our open plan living room, furnished with couches and comfy chairs, and decorated with vintage beach memorabilia. The HDTV is equipped with cable and several streaming options for all your media needs. Enjoy the brick-inlaid fireplace for the colder months. Step out onto the deck to catch some sunshine and use the charcoal grill! The newly remodeled kitchen is fully equipped with anything you might need for preparing meals, including new appliances, multiple coffee-making utensils, and a dining table with bench seating. Passing the powder room/half bath down the hall, you'll find our master bedroom with a brand new king size bed and full ensuite bathroom. Just across the hall is the third bedroom with two twin beds and a TV. Finally, heading outside past the front door and the outdoor beach shower toward the alleyway, you'll find the garage with parking for 1 car (clearance ~6'6", shared with front unit) and new washer and dryer. The garage can also be accessed through the foyer, and contains a variety of beach chairs and toys which guests are free to use - please just make sure to return them! Activities and Attractions: Balboa Island is not only a great vacation destination itself but also an excellent base for Southern California's many other attractions and theme parks! Our property is located just a few doors down from the beautiful Balboa Bay, boardwalk, and the Balboa Ferry that gives access to the Funz Zone, Peninsula beaches and Pacific Ocean. The ferry is a lovely 5 minute ride directly to the Fun Zone (with arcades, rides, and snacks), the Balboa Pier, shopping and restaurants, boating and fishing excursions (including transport to nearby Catalina Island), and bike/water sport rentals. Agate is the only street on the island with a children's climbing gym and basketball court. On the island itself, Marine Avenue boasts fine restaurants and boutique shops which are only 2 miles away from even more fine dining, shopping, and movie theaters at Newport's famous outdoor mall, Fashion Island. For those interested in seeing more of the Orange County coastline, Laguna Beach lies 7 miles further down the Pacific Coast Highway. Originally an artist's colony, Laguna hosts the Pageant of the Masters and Sawdust Festival in the summer, art galleries, and fine dining and shopping along with wonderful beaches with tide pools. Balboa Lodge is ~35 minutes from Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm and an hour or so from Universal Studios, Hollywood, San Diego Zoo and Sea World. The Santa Ana/Orange County (SNA) Airport is only 10 minutes away and the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is approximately 45 minutes away.

I would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay on Balboa Island for a week or longer. It is an older place, but well kept and very comfortable. It is also close enough to everything that walking is an option to most places you would want to go on the island or peninsula. The hosts are very responsive to any questions or concerns you might have as well. ##### Dan W.

Balboa Island is amazing and this house provides the opportunity to stay on the island for a reasonable price. It is not fancy, but was comfortable and provided a great base of operations. The garage is a huge plus. The people who live in the adjoining house are nice. Two notes for anyone visiting: bring your own beach towels. Be aware that the TV in the main room does not have a DVD available, although you can easily connect to Netflix, Amazon, etc. thanks for having us!! ##### Lee W.

We were impressed with how spacious it was, and the cleanliness and up to date bathrooms, bedding, and kitchen. The wood walls of the “lodge” reminded me of a cabin I used to stay in with my grandparents as a kid, and we found it incredibly homey and comfortable. It was especially great with kids, as they had fun in the small twin bed room while their visiting Uncle had the space to himself downstairs. We all walked down to the playground one day followed by bagels at the pier before taking a ferry ride. Perfect location. So many great memories visiting relatives in the area and we will hope to stay here again. ##### Amy C.

Excellent location! Excellent hostess! Excellent living space! The only thing we didn’t quite prepare for was that we went on the weekend of the Christmas boat parade. So the traffic to get in and off the island as well as the streets for parking were jam packed. And we took our truck which we couldn’t quite fit in the garage. Those are things we would consider the next time we visit Balboa Island. I hope that this home would be available again the next time we visit because it is truly a gem! ##### Jennifer S.
