Pros and Cons
Pro's: Cute neighborhood and apartment. Close to coffee houses and restaurants. Nice harbor location. We rented a Duffy electric boat to tour the harbor. Party town with staggering wealth. Biggest Ferrari dealership ever seen (and I've been to Maranello). Cons: An airliner passes overhead every 3-minutes. Smells like a sewer when the tide goes out. Jam-packed with other residences. Parking is challenging.

Nice place for couple
The place was nice for two. Its location two blocks from Marine was excellent. Cleanliness was excellent. My wife found the bed too firm, but it was fine for me.

This is the cleanest home away from home I’ve ever stayed in!
This cute little home is perfect for a couple who wants to enjoy Balboa Island. It’s clean and fully stocked with anything you would need. Location is excellent. Just steps from Main Street and the bay. Loved it! The property management company wasn’t my favorite but the owner is delightful. A beautiful and sweet lady who really cares about her guests enjoying their stay.

Great visit on Balboa
Just want to say thanks to the property owner for being responsive when needed but also providing the privacy we expected. Beautiful clean room with all the amenities we couldn’t have anticipated. Loved the warm touch of flowers and hand written note-hope to revisit soon!

Darling!
We come to Balboa Island several times a year for vacation and this was the best place we’ve stayed so far - perfect for two people. The space was light, bright, and impeccably clean. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Lyleen, several times. She is lovely and immediately made us feel welcome. The location was excellent as it was just a short walk to both Marine Street and well as the waterfront. We had a fabulous time and are so happy to have found this gem. We are already planning our next visit.

A Gem on Balboa Island
I almost don’t want to review for this incredible hide-a-away as it will be hard for me to get reservations in the future. This darling place is up a flight of stairs. You open the front door & your senses are immediately hit with light coming from every window. Its sparkling clean & everything’s sparkling white. At night you hear the seals as they hang out on the docks. You’re one block from the bay. It’s perfect for one or two people. I wouldn’t recommend children. All in all it’s a little sanctuary to “get away from it all.” Great restaurants within walking distance. The only draw back is parking. I took Uber when I left the island.

A greta place to stay on Balboa
Everything was set up to make arrival a breeze. The home is professionally managed and the management company was very responsive, even offering to send someone by when we couldn't figure out the AC (my fault, didn't look closely at the controls) The apartment has everything you need and is within walking distance to the boardwalk, shops and restaurants. Spotlessly clean with a modern look, my only complaint is that the bed moves easily - but i'm a light sleeper so any movement is an issue (but it was very comfortable and the linens/pillows were great) not every bed, suits every visitor - and I'd stay here again in a minute, so it couldn't have been that bad! Lovely home - thank you for sharing it with us.
