The bedrooms have been recently carpeted and new TV’s have been added to the living room and bedrooms. The living room has a fireplace, the kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, and the front patio includes a charcoal BBQ. The garage has shared laundry and a one-car parking space.

Enjoyed our stay

Comfortable property, enjoyed our stay. Pros: Great location on Balboa Island, very short walk to Marine Ave and its shops and eateries. Fun to watch boats in the channel. Balboa Island is a treat. Property Manager Steve is very easy to deal with. Cons: Fees include $125 linen rental charge. They drop off linens and towels, it's up to the renter to put the sheets on the beds and pillow cases on the pillows. The noise from jets leaving John Wayne airport is pretty loud beginning at 7 a.m. Assume it would be the same anywhere in the vicinity. There is a small one car garage, and while parking a mid-size car was okay, we would have been reluctant to try parking a full size car in there. Street parking for visitors is difficult to find at times. Property needs a new roof. A portion of the roof and the skylight are covered with visqueen/tarp. We had some stiff winds and hard rain but there were no issues.
Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2024

Drake Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kitchen appliances need to be updated: oven does not work properly. Coffee maker needs to be replaced. No hand rails on both sides of 4 steps leading up to front door. Real safety issue I am a senior and I had a very difficult time getting up and down the stairs. Also blinds didn't work properly.
