About this house rental
Location, Location, Location! Only 8 houses to the Bayfront and steps to the restaurants and boutiques of Balboa Island’s Marine Ave!
Nothing says swank quite like this Balboa Island upper level beach house! Recently renovated and professionally decorated, this beautiful open concept home will become your new favorite hideaway.
The orange front door is a big clue that what you’ll find inside is truly special. As you enter, you are greeted by a warm and inviting living room equipped with a smart TV and gas fireplace, perfect for a movie in on a cool night. Multiple seating options make this living room versatile for entertaining a large family, or cozy enough for a romantic weekend away. There is also direct access to the spacious balcony with a gas BBQ and outdoor seating to enjoy the afternoon sea breeze. This property’s prime location overlooks Marine Avenue shops and restaurants, where you are just a short distance away from anywhere you’ll need to go.
The newly remodeled gourmet kitchen is an absolute chef’s dream. It includes modern and sleek custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas oven and range, microwave, dishwasher and all the tools you’ll need to prepare a fabulous meal. Every detail down to the backsplash and cabinet hardware was given great attention during design. The peninsula countertop includes bar seating for four, in addition to table seating (the table has an expandable leaf) for up to six .
Down the hallway, you’ll find access to all four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, all outfitted with premium linens. The master suite at the end of the hallway is beautifully decorated in shades of blue and white, and washed with ample natural light during the daytime. The double closets provide ample space to get cozy and stay for a while. The en-suite master bathroom features high end fixtures and custom tile work, floating vanity, a large standup shower with bench and frameless glass doors.
The second and third bedrooms off of the hallway are outfitted with queen sized beds, each decorated in shades of blue and white with colorful accents. The fourth bedroom sleeps two in twin beds, and has a charming beach theme in hues of blue and teal. Each room has custom closet organizers to store ample belongings for the duration of your stay.
The hallway bathroom features a shower and tub combo with sliding glass doors, floating double vanity, custom tilework and high-end fixtures as featured throughout the rest of the house.
This home also has a full-sized laundry closet with stackable washer and dryer, with laundry detergent available for your use and convenience. To make your time in the fun and sun more enjoyable, the owners have also included beach chairs, beach umbrellas and boogie boards so you can play on the sand all day at the beach. This unit also includes carport parking for one car.
Step out the front door onto Marine Avenue, which takes you to all of the quaint shops and restaurants the Island has to offer. Enjoy breakfast at Wilma’s Patio, shop for wonderful groceries and prepared food at Irvine Ranch Farmer’s Market (right across the street), or sip on cocktails at the Village Inn (known as “VI” by locals).
Whether you choose to do a little or a lot during your stay, we’re sure you will enjoy your time here and have great memories that you’ll cherish forever.

Perfect getaway for a few days at the beach. The home was so wonderful that we extended our stay an extra few days. Regardless, of the location being so close to Marine (Balboa Island's Main Street) and next to the fire station, it was remarkably quiet while being close to the beach and shopping. Beautifully decorated and comfortable with all the amenities you could need. We will definitely return to this property and also recommend to friends. Thank you for the loveliest stay.

We loved staying here with our family of 5 - plenty of space even though it was just the top floor of the duplex! Was concerned it would feel tight but it didn't at all. Very clean & nicely updated with designer finishes! Would stay here again!

This Airbnb is extremely functional, clean and comfortable. It is in a perfect location if you have events happening on Bellville Island. We were there for my son‘s wedding and it worked out perfectly for us. Lots of space and the washer and dryer made it even better. Nice size kitchen with standard size refrigerator. Would stay there again, one block from the beautiful views of the harbor.

Home was exactly as represented - awesome location! We had four adults stay comfortably. Looking forward to our next visit.
5.0
The house is roomy, airy and bright! It is upstairs, so that gave us lots of nice breezes. (The stairs are steep, so might be hard with kids or anyone not too mobile.)
Location is right at the fun downtown area and beach access…but the intersection and fire station next door can be a little noisy at times.
We would definitely stay here again!

This home was ideal as far as location, convenience, spaciousness and being well appointed. It was ideal for us as older adults but we were staying on the island with multiple rentals as part of an extended family reunion. This spot has some restrictions for noise that probably wouldn’t work for families with young children. Other than that we had a great time here and would recommend it to anyone who is a fit.

This is our 2nd year staying at the beach house and we always have a marvelous time! The location is ideal and the house is well stocked, amazing linens, gorgeously decorated and welcoming.
We can't wait to come back next year!

We came here to work remotely and visit the area. It was perfect. There was a town and a wonderful harbor walk right outside. We explored all the towns up and down coastal highway which were very accessible. Great hiking and great restaurants. The hosts were incredibly responsive with small questions. Property was perfectly maintained. no complaints. Recommend highly and without reservation.

We spent a week in this rental and were very satisfied with the unit. Clean, well appointed, spacious. We were four adults and the apartment could easily accommodate six. We enjoyed hanging out in the living room/kitchen area and, in the mornings, on the front porch. The location cannot be beat--you are steps from the center of the commercial hub; though the street was never too busy or loud. Parking was easy and the management company that oversees the unit was very responsive when we posed a query or two. I will say that this might not be the best spot during a heat wave as there is no air-conditioning; but we had cool evenings so never an issue. A completely worry-free stay.

Newly updated and plenty of room but very noisy…not from the fire station next door, but trash and delivery trucks in the morning, street repair with jackhammer noise…definitely a convenient location though…

A Very Nice Property
This upstairs unit was comfortable for our family of 4 adults and 2 children. The location is good, close to restaurants, shopping and the beach. It appears to have been newly remodeled, is comfortable and beautiful. The bed was great! Negatives: stairs to the second floor are steep and the balcony is small, not large enough to sit around a table for a meal outside.

Great Vacation Home
This property was wonderful and beautiful inside. It had everything we needed for our stay. All the great little shops were literally to the right when you walked out of the door. We were also just a couple of blocks away from the walkway by the bay. I highly recommend this property. But, here is the one thing I found very interesting. All the rules are to be quiet between 10pm-8am. We are not loud people so not a problem, but the garbage trucks, delivery trucks, street cleaners, fire station personnel (right next door) remodeling noises started VERY early in the morning. Since there isn't air conditioning (which you do not need) you have to have the windows open all the time. I highly recommend this place

Very nice condo in an excellent location. Updated decor was perfect.
We enjoyed staying at this condo. Location was perfect and the set up and decor was great. The fire house next door it was noisy one night but otherwise we barely knows that. We did purchase a fire stick to light the fireplace and left for you. Thanks for sharing your beautiful condo with us.

Super Spot
The lease agreement and the rules reminders posted around the property are intimidating, but law-abiding renters will be happy they stayed here. The location in downtown Balboa Island is within easy walking distance of everything, the renovated decor is superb (and good quality in most places) and the unit is fully stocked with kitchenware, linens, etc.; having a Keurig machine handy with some pods on-the-house was another nicety. Highly recommend the place if you're a respectful, quiet renter.

The best part about this home is LOCATION LOCATION..LOCATION!! The neighborhood was incredible. The entire family enjoyed walks around the bay and visiting all the local shops. The home was beautiful, just as it appears in the pictures. Was exactly what we were looking for.
Only a few complaints. One being that the freezer was out. I know things happen, but it made life a little harder finding ice at local stores daily to make drinks. There is also just not enough towels for a full week with a house full, unless you like using the same towel every day for 7 days. We also had to purchase addition paper towels. There was one roll and no extra trash bags. We also don't mind having the owner beneath us, but not using our own balcony until 10am because of rules, stinks. Lastly we noticed he was moving our trash around in the bins outside. Little strange that he'd go through the trash.
Past that, I'd say it was a great stay, beautiful home and would suggest it to others for the location.
