This is a wonderful location on Balboa Island! We vacation on the island almost every year and this property is one of our favorites. There are many amenities that other houses don’t provide such as paddle boards, kayaks, and an optional use of the Duffy boat. Our family, from grandparents to infants, thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This is a fantastic vacation rental for families with young children or adults looking for a very comfortable beach house in a great location. It has a large patio on the harbor, two large bedrooms, an 8-minute walk to restaurants and shops, and parking with room for two SUVs.
It was very clean and stocked with all the kitchen tools, nice towels and sheets, and lots of sand toys for the kids.
Brad, the host, is very responsive and wants to ensure you have everything you need and a great stay.
Even though we only live less than 30 minutes away, this will become our yearly vacation spot!

Had a delightful stay. The location is well situated on the north side of the island, walkable to everything. Wonderful views and having the owner/prop manager adjacent was nice to have… he is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. Would love a chance to stay again.

Our 3 generation family getaway to Balboa was perfect for everyone. The teens loved paddle boarding, the parents enjoyed the Serenity of our ocean view and the grandparents were delighted with Brad’s beautiful home and all its amenities. The colorful sunsets and ocean views made our family gathering one to remember. We look forward to returning to charming Balboa soon and would love to stay in the same house as it was wonderful for all of us. Thanks for being a great host Brad.

What a fantastic 4 nights and 5 days! Let’s start with Brad! What a fantastic host! Brad was 1st class all the way. Friendly, helpful and made us feel welcomed the entire time. Location, Location, Location! Right on the water with a private boat deck where we enjoyed happy hour. The Duffy boat rental was an added benefit. All accommodations were excellent. Cable TV with plenty of channels including HBO and Showtime. Beds and closet space was excellent for my family. Parked the car and walked to all restaurants, ferry and beach. I looked at several places on the island and glad we chose this property! Hope to be back soon! Thanks Again!

This home is beautiful, spacious and has the perfect location & amenities. Brad is the greatest host and his home is just perfect for a family to enjoy everything that Balboa has to offer. We especially enjoyed using Brad's Duffy to explore the beautiful area. We look forward to staying here again!

We loved the location of the house. Exactly as described. The house had all we needed to enjoy a wonderful week on Balboa Island with friends and family. The kids learned to kayak thanks to Brad's generosity and use of kayaks. Hope to be back again.

My husband and I brought our younger daughter and a few of her friends down to the island for a few days. We've stayed in many places and this is one of our favorites. The master bedroom has a gorgeous view of the bay and very spacious with a desk with a view - and super comfy couch. Great space if you're needing to get some work done or just want a quieter place to sit and read. The other two bedrooms and bath upstairs also were fantastic. The kitchen is very user friendly and a nice dining room, with another full bath off the kitchen. Full screen TV's in LR and BR's and great amenities. Brad is a perfect host and we so enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks and duffy ride. Thank you Brad for a great getaway both for us and the girls had a blast! We'll definitely be back.

My wife and I loved this house. The view of bay from the patio, the downstairs, and the upstairs master bedroom was perfect. Being on the water front is especially relaxing. The house was well outfitted with beach necessities, and the beds were comfortable. Brad made the check-in and check-out quite easy, providing his number in case we needed anything. He even called us after our stay to make sure we enjoyed it and to see if we thought anything needed to be improved. We didn't see anything in need. We highly recommend this property.
5.0
The house was older and a lot of wood, which I liked. I picked this property because I grew up in a house like this; lots of wood, not stucco. Brad allowed us to bring our well behaved Golden Retriever, & I think she behaved well, at least I hope so. Would pick this house again. Only one problem is it takes the water a long time to get warm. Since we seem to have a water shortage I hate to let water waste while it warms up

Awesome California Beach house with vintage style. Great location on Balboa, very quiet but central to all the shops and restaurants. Our kids loved playing on the beach. Friendly neighbors and always something to see with boats and walkers passing by. Host lives onsite and available to help with anything needed. He was very nice and chill. House is much bigger than appears in pics. Lovely office with great view in the Master bedroom. Will book again.

Comfortable Family and Dog Friendly Property
We enjoyed the spaciousness of the property both inside and outside on the patio. There was room for all of us to relax and enjoy.
Brad is a friendly and accomodating host. We appreciated the use of all of the water toys that he made available for us.
The location is ideal...directly on North Bayfront with the sand and water just across the sidewalk from the house. Our children spent a lot of time playing there while we could keep an eye on them from the front patio.

Wonderful Location
You can’t beat the location of this charming rental on Balboa Island. It’s right on the beach and you can sit out on the porch and watch the boats, watch the world world walk past. The interior has not been updated since the 60s or 70s. One of the bathrooms upstairs has a door that will not close all the way. The circular staircase to the second floor is very steep, so be aware if you have visitors with mobility issues. The owner lives on site in a unit attached to the house, so he met us on arrival (I prefer contactless check-in). One of the locks to the house was not working and would not open using the code. The rental info specified 2 carport parking spaces, but the owner had his car in one of the spaces. Check-out was 10am. The owner texted me multiple times asking if we would leave early. I said no, but the cleaners still walked in at 9:30am, catching a female guest in the shower and scaring her badly.

AWESOME place & host!
Fantastic home! Five stars is an understatement. This is THE place to stay on Balboa. From the perfect location, water toys, home comfort, excellent beds, stocked kitchen, lovely patio, ease of everything and fantastic host in Brad, who is a fun, genuine person and very accommodating, this home is more than we expected. My wife and two daughters (and small dog, who loved Brad) had a great time. My wife was just telling me she wished we would have discovered this gem and met Brad years ago. We were so sad to leave lovely this home. There is no doubt we plan to stay here again. You will be happy you booked this place, just please do not take my week. Thank you for allowing us to make great memories, Brad.

The perfect beach house!
This was the perfect house for our family's spring break! The house has everything you can want to enjoy beautiful Balboa Island... SUPs, Kayaks, sand toys, beach chairs, games and a beach front location! The bedrooms are very large with comfortable beds. The kitchen is well stocked. We cooked and grilled a couple nights and we had everything we needed. Brad was so responsive and was a super easy check in. We will definitely be back!

Great location. Roomy bedrooms. Lovely boardwalk courtyard. Absolutely locely.

Great location. Comfortable house.
Not sure if you could find a better location. House is on the water, adjacent to Ruby beach, easy walk to town, and easy walk to the ferry. The house is older, but it had everything we needed. Upstairs was very comfortable and fit our family of seven very well, which is hard to do. Owner was super responsive whenever we needed anything, which wasn't very often. Owner's home is on the same property, but it was completely separate, and the owner was not at his home during our stay.
This rental is likely our top choice for our next trip to the island.

Character-filled Beach House
I stayed here with my family for a few weeks this winter and couldn’t have been happier. The house is a charming old beach house with tons of character that they just don’t make anymore. The location is ideal on the quieter side of the island, and right next to one of the best stretches of beach for the kids. The house has everything you could want - paddle boards, kayaks, BBQ and patio. Inside everything is clean and works great. Beds and bedding were new and very comfortable, newer TVs, strong internet, and a great host, who made sure everything went smoothly. I wish I could stay longer!

The Perfect Vacation Home
Beautiful home with a great view of the bay with kayaks and paddles boards at our disposal. This was our first time renting on the island during the Christmas season. Perfect home for viewing the boat parade or just relaxing by a cozy fireplace. Within walking distance of shops, restaurants, markets, and was able to fit 2 SUV’s in the carport. Our host was always quick to respond to any questions we might have. Perfect home for family gatherings!

Beautiful Balboa Stay
This property is the best! My family stayed at Brad’s place for our 50th birthdays and it could not have been more perfect. The master bedroom has a stunning view. The patio and deck are spacious for relaxing! Everything was spotless! Brad stocked his place with everything that was needed for a great time! Highly recommend!

Fantastic beachfront house on idyllic location
We have rented this wonderful house on Balboa Island several times over the past years, and it is our favorite spot to stay on Balboa Island There is plenty of room, whether it is just my wife and I or our children and friends join us. The house is right on the bayfront, giving a great view of the boats out on the sparkling water, and you can set yourself down on the lovely wide beach for the afternoon. We cannot help but relax, as we start the day with a walk around the island promenade and stop for coffee and a muffin at our favorite coffee bar. The owner Brad has equipped the house with everything that you would need for your stay, from an outdoor barbecue to beach chairs, kayaks, and paddle boards so that you can get out on the water. And Brad is the perfect host, making sure that everything is ready for your arrival, and responding quickly should you contact him. We look forward to many return visits!

Spring break getaway
We stayed here with our 2 young kids and enjoyed everything this house had to offer! Playing in the sand in the sun, lunch on the patio, to nightly strolls to main st. The kitchen was well stocked with all cooking supplies needed and plenty of space for storage. The bedrooms were very comfortable and bathrooms had plenty of updated towels. Our host Brad didn’t miss a detail and provided everything we could have thought of. We highly recommend this property if your looking for a wonderful place to relax!
