Perfect getaway
This property was even cuter than the pictures! Peaceful and quiet, full kitchen, working fireplace and lots of natural light. Only note is that the mattress and pillows were very soft. We will 100% be returning

Perfect Location
Cute traditional style rental with high vaulted ceiling. Big living area and everything you could need in the kitchen. In a perfect location on Balboa Island, close to cafes, shops and a short walk to the ferry. My favourite thing was to grab a coffee and sit on the beach side bench up the street.

Great Location
The location of this unit is perfect. It’s very close to walk to anywhere on the island, and there are several restaurants about 5 minute walk away. We were always able to find close and convenient parking. No problems at all, it was a great stay!

Amazing Stay
I could not say enough wonderful things about the space, my host, and the amenities that were there. The description was perfect. Walking to restaurants, shops and the ferry was perfectly described. The space is perfect for a single traveler or a couple. Again, this space made my vacation to celebrate my birthday one of the best trips I've ever been on.

Holiday Escape
I was visiting friends & family in the area and timed it with seeing the annual Holiday Boat Parade. The apartment was in a great location. I didn’t even need a car because everything was within walking distance! The apartment was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. I’ll definitely return.
