Charming Vintage Beachfront Vacation Cottage (right side) | Super Central - No Car Needed!

Permit #SLP13284
Located next to the Balboa Village/Old Town Balboa, this oceanfront unit sits on the boardwalk, right in front of Balboa Park's expansive grassy field, with the warm sand and sparkling blue Pacific down the sloping shoreline, just beyond. Guests must walk that short distance to catch a view of the nearby ocean. Due to the original 1910 construction, the characteristics of this property are charming, but still small by modern standards: the floors are slanted and the walls are thin. This property has been priced accordingly for the budget-minded traveler.

Traditional Beach House
The beach house is wonderful if you are looking for a place that is casual and a little run in. The house is well appointed, very clean and stocked with all the cooking supplies you need. It’s walking distance to the Fun Zone and has a huge park out front. Downside is that the structure is old and slopes. The bed is FABULOUS!

Pictures and write up were misleading
The pictures and the description are somewhat misleading. Its not charming and there is definitely no leather sofa and love seat like it says in the description. Its way more grungy and dark than the photos make it look. The front door had big gaps all around it and you have to hold it just right to get it to lock. We were never sure if it was locked properly or not. Yes it says its old with slanted floors and thin walls which was fine as long as the neighbors are very quiet which luckily ours were. The mat they provided for someone to sleep on was a joke. It looked like it was from a deck chair so our kids ended up sharing a bed which was not ideal. The only thing good about this property is the location. If that is a must for you than great but if not i would stay somewhere else. Don't let the photos fool you like we did its a tear down.

Newport stay
We loved the location of this property. The description was a bit off, the washer and dryer are not in the unit, they are behind the house and are very hard to get to if you are in unit B. The house is uneven so when sitting at the table everything tips and when walking it’s uneven. The property management company was amazing though! We did enjoy our stay.

Budget friendly on the beach!
It was perfect little spot on the beach, and walking distance to all the sun spots on balboa peninsula. The place is good for budget friendly folks, place is a bit run down, very slanted floor but was really clean so didn’t mind. Note the only bathroom cuts through bedroom with bunkbed. All in all good place and would stay again!
