Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was a very good experience. This was the first time our family was able to come together from all over the country since COVID. Parking was a big challenge, but we expected that since we are from the area. We have stayed at a lot of Airbnb's and this was, by far, the least stocked in terms of kitchen supplies, cooking equipment, etc. which made for challenges. The basics were not even there (no oil, S&P, spices, etc). Additional pillows and linens would have been helpful. The directions were clear in advance about the number of towels and having to rent beach towels, chairs, etc. but for the price it would be better to include those items as most places do. The lack of them definitely contributes to satisfaction levels. The upstairs tenants are delightful and friendly! Dishwasher was leaking a bit and needs to be repaired.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a great find just a block from the ferry to the peninsula. Clean, well maintained house. King bed, queen bed, twin with a trundle, and a pull out couch in living room. The third bedroom with the trundle is only accessible by going through one of other bedrooms. Tall ceilings and good size rooms for Balboa Island homes. Kitchen is dated but functional. No A/C. Not usually needed on Balboa but worth noting. TVs are equipped with streaming access like Roku. WiFi is solid. Overall great house and definitely recommended!
