It was spotlessly clean and the offer to have groceries pre-delivered was fantastic! Only complaint is the check in process and "house rules" are not located within VRBO. They will send you an email under a name I did not recognize with instructions on how to log in to their portal. It took me at least 2 hours to figure out how to enter the home. If the email just would have mentioned VRBO in the title, it would have been so much easier. ##### Traci M.

Reviewer Comments: We celebrated my husband's 70th birthday on Balboa. Sitting outside enjoying morning coffee, and wine at night was enjoyable. The cottage was in a perfect location to walk anywhere; stores, restaurants, beach. TV, basic cable and apps, did not work in all locations; i.e. living room. Feeling the breeze and having all the windows open was enjoyable. Just an FYI,the cottage is in the direct take-off flight path of John Wayne Airport. You do hear the jets constantly during the day. ##### Kimberly S.

Reviewer Comments: This cottage was cute and comfortable. However there were some aspects that were not satisfactory. Some kitchen items were missing or broken, windows needed cleaning. Unable to use the barbecue as it needed a good cleaning.We felt that the place needed updating and newer furnishings. Zabrina was very helpful and gracious and took care of our requests promptly. Traffic on Park was constant and some times annoying. I would not request this location again. ##### Patricia Scully S. Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie N., Pleasanton, CA 17 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Overall Good Location While this property met our needs and was very clean (something very important during a pandemic), it was basic. The bed in the smaller bedroom is short and our daughter had a tough time sleeping on it. It would be good for a small child, but it was a little small for our 17 year old. The television channels were pretty much standard cable, not even ESPN...which killed my football loving husband during bowl season. The kitchen was functional, but I had a hard time finding things. The whole place was dark. Even though the pilot light on the heater was out when we arrived, the property manager coordinated someone to fix it one day and then inspect it the next. The property manager handled the issue professionally and communicated the work times clearly. ##### Julie N.

The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying on Balboa Island is a treat. The house I stayed in wasn’t. It’s extremely old(1927)& hasn’t been kept up. It needs a coat of paint, windows washed, new carpeting & some TLC. Mold was growing in one the bedroom closets.Perfect location for walking, close to the boardwalk & Marine Ave. And there’s parking space for 1 car which is great. It’s very hard to find parking especially on the weekends.Another reason I wouldn’t rent this house again... is there’s an attachment that is rented out. It’s upstairs & the people that live there are quite noisy with music thumping over the master bedroom. My son- in- law at 10:30pm had to tell them to shut it down. Also arguing into the night isn’t conducive to a restful night. The walls are thin so every sound is heard.Vicki at the property rental company couldn’t have been nicer & I’ll use their company again but be more selective about where I stay. No one wants their vacation ruined because of neighbors. I’ve stayed on the island before & never had a problem. Ask a lot of questions before sign up... ##### joan l.

Reviewer Comments: we had a great experience at 201 Ruby ##### Eric C. ### 4/10 Poor #### Corby M., Lafayette 17 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Musty From the moment we opened the door we were overwhelmed by the stench of musty/moldy, just plain old. While the pictures were 100% accurate, a little tired looking, I though I could do the old school cozy cabin feel. The reviews were not bad and NOBODY mentioned the odor. Well, if smells bother you, this is not the cottage for you. Hopefully I will save some folks from the experience we had. I cannot say enough great things about the property management company. Peter was kind, understanding, responsive, and helpful. He came up with a solution to save our vacation. In the end, with a little inconvenience, our vacation was made better by this property management team. Thank you! ##### Corby M.

Reviewer Comments: This is a charming historic cottage on the island, perfect for small family or people planning to be on the go. Written communication was great leading up to our stay, but when we ran into access problems no one returned our calls. We left messages on the "emergency" line and never received a return call. Our entire stay of 5 days!!! We will not rent with this group again. ##### Maryanne W. ### 6/10 Okay #### michael c. 18 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### 201 ruby mostly as advertised but facility was a bit "tired." Oven failed to work, 3rd bedroom was just a "day bed" not single bed as the ads suggested (a bit small for a full size adult.). Lighting was poor, low watts, resulting in dark areas. Baths were fine but 2nd bath was only accessible thru one of bedrooms. Patio facing east was a plus. Also a plus side, the garage was ample in size. ##### michael c.
