Staying at this property was a perfect getaway for our family. The location is within walking distance from plenty of restaurants and shops, and just around the corner from taking the ferry across to the peninsula where the beach, fun zone, and plenty more good times can be found.

This rental is in a great location and easily walkable to the main street as well as the ferry. We parked and didn’t pick up our car again until we left. It did make me nervous that we did not have designated parking however as the property manager indicated there was really no issue finding parking in front of the house on Any given day. Would definitely recommend to others. The upstairs bedroom does not have an actual door so it’s more of a loft from a sound perspective, Just something to be aware of nothing that would deter me from staying here again. All in all a great value for a great location!

We love Balboa Island and sometimes I think we've rented most of the smaller options on the Island but this was a new one and it was great! It was by far the roomiest option we've ever rented as the bedrooms and bathrooms were quite large. Front porch area was great and communication with host was easy.

We booked Kathy and Kim’s place last minute on our travels and we are so glad we did! We totally loved Balboa Island! The house was really cosy and comfortable and perfectly positioned! The area is stunning and it was a very short walk to the ferry. We whale watched with Davey’s Locker which was fantastic! We strolled morning and evening around the island perimeter which was stunning! Highly recommend this house and Kathy and Kim were super responsive and helpful!

Adorable cottage in a great location. Two moms with our teenage daughters for spring break. Loved the board games they supplied, we played nightly! Didn’t use the kitchen as we ate out and walked to coffee, great coffee 3 blocks away at Toddo Santos, the best coffee I have ever had!

We traveled to California for Thanksgiving to visit our children and grandchildren, Kathy's house was perfect. Immaculate. Spotless. With a well equipped kitchen and everything we needed. Our 3 grandsons aged 12, 10 and 9 stayed upstairs in the large bedroom and my spouse and I were downstairs. The 2 beautiful bathrooms meant that we were never on top of each other. There was tons of space for every one and a bright sunny outside verandah for morning coffee, reading or lounging and watching the world walk by.

You can't go wrong in Balboa really because it is so beautiful and close to fun activities, but this house has charm because it still has a vintage feel and these properties are getting harder and harder to find. Very clean and comfortable and close to anything you want to do on Balboa, updated with good bedding and linens, nice TVs, supplies, dishware, everything you need. There was minimal construction on the street the house was on but there is nothing anyone can do about that, almost every street in the area has some. The unit itself is nice and quiet.
