We loved our stay at 202 Diamond! The home is beautifully cared for and provided all the amenities you could ask for. It was the perfect place for our Annual Family Weekend with all our kids and once they all went home it was so relaxing for just the two of us to enjoy a little longer!
We can’t wait to return same time next year, and the next year..,,
Thank you Mike & Pam

This home has everything you could possibly need for a family vacation. Beach gear, chairs, umbrellas, towels and even a wagon to haul all the stuff. Inside the home is as beautiful as the pictures, a comfy and cozy beach house. We took advantage of the broad games and of course the jacuzzi located on the roof top. With just a short walk to the beach, restaurants and ice cream shop we will definately be returning here in the future. And of course the hosts were great! They came over to be sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

The pictures don’t do this house justice! This home is gorgeous and comes with all the bells and whistles. The owners are great to work with and provided a personal tour upon arrival. The location is ideal right in the center of the island with easy access to Marine Ave. and Ferry. We loved the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, outdoor heat lamps and roof top area! Our family visits Balboa Island multiple times per year - this has been the best home yet! Thank you!!!

The concensus, after a glorious week, was that we have found the perfect vacation home! Communication with the landlord was great. Her stand-in welcoming committee was helpful and charming. The home is beautiful, with attention to every detail. It was the perfect week and the 5 of us can’t wait to go back!

My wife, toddler and I stayed at 202 Diamond for 2 weeks in May 2021 and loved every minute of it. The location is ideal - half way between the shops & restaurants on Marine and the Ferry to Balboa Peninsula. The house is comfortable yet luxurious and it is stocked with everything you’d want for a beach vacation - bikes, paddle boards, beach chairs & umbrellas, coolers, etc. The house is in excellent condition and the owners are friendly and welcoming. We wish we could have stayed longer!

From the start, Pam and Mike were extremely welcoming and met us at the property to go over all the features/amenities (of which there are many!) and to answer any questions. The home itself is beautiful, comfortable, well appointed, and perfectly located. You are part of the charm and bustle of Balboa Island yet still tucked away enough to have a peaceful stay. This home is ideal for families wishing to explore the area but still have the luxuries of home. We cannot speak highly enough of this property, the owners, and quality of experience. We will be back!

We had such a great time at this beautiful home right off the beach on Balboa Island. The home was beautiful and we loved the paddle boards and sea kayaking around the island. We would highly recommend this house and location for a family vacation.

If you're lucky enough to snag a week or two at this beautiful family-friendly Balboa Island home, you won't be disappointed! We just returned from another amazing week in Newport Beach, and like always, the house can make or break our trip. Happy to say that this lovely gem was beautifully appointed with top-of-the-line everything including appliances and dishware (loved the Viking gas range!), luxurious linens, pretty island home decor, comfortable and stylish living/bedroom/dining furniture, high-end bathroom accessories (instant hot water and towel warmer, anyone?) patio furniture and grill, and outdoor beach toys. Seriously, gorgeous. Amazing kitchen. Seven of us stayed in the home (4 teens, 2 adults and 1 senior) and we all had plenty of space to spread out and do our thing. The kids loved the rooftop patio, hot tub and heater -- and they took full advantage of the kayaks, paddle boards , beach umbrellas, and chairs that were neatly stored in the extra large garage. One of our favorite spots in the house for morning coffee was the heated front patio with retractable awning. When the awning is extended, it transforms the space into a comfy private indoor/outdoor space perfect for reading or a mid-day nap. This house also has an indoor elevator which is super handy for moving luggage to the upstairs bedrooms or making it easy for seniors to avoid the stairs. The location of the property is just perfect as it is situated in between the ferry and the shops on Marine Ave -- an easy walk either way. Pam and Mike were the perfect hosts. They stopped by to say hello and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Can't say enough about this wonderful home -- we definitely will be back!

We had family flying in from all over the world and needed several beds. The Howard ‘s home was perfect for our family and the college graduation barbecue we had. The house is open and the elevator was nice for the family members who had some mobility issues. We would stay again and again.
On a side note, the bathrooms could have been cleaner as there was long hair in the corners of each bathroom. Also, in the second master there was nowhere to put luggage and no chair.
