The property was in a great location but it was not made clear that both bedrooms had no doors and were open as they are both lofts. The one bathroom is incredibly small and the other had to go down stairs. We had people banging on the connecting wall when we were simply watching TV at 10pm. The code to the garage did not work but only worked with the remote once you were in the unit. I think if the description is made clearer it would help manage expectation.

The peace of our stay was substantially altered by major street drain repairs which neither the owners or property management co had notice of more than 3 days before our arrival. The management co was VERY helpful intrying to rectify the problem and offered a move to larger property options in the surrounding Peninsula though we choose to stay. We will definitely choose this same property for future stays.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: No privacy in front upper loft. Those watching TV in family room can see you getting in and out of bathroom or shower. Bathroom is the tiniest I’ve ever seen with not even a towel rack to hold a hand towel on wall, and no vanity area and hard or impossible to turn around with the door closed. - had to use the closed toilet seat to lay essential items. Exhaust fans in both bathrooms did not work. Back upstairs loft had to be accessed by steep stairs- a concern at night. Garage could only be accessed by front door or side door stairs so need to go down stairs for washer and dryer, use key pad for garage door to get to laundry area then carry items back upstairs. Views were amazing, liked location- but wouldn’t stay here again. Just overall very inconvenient living. I actually like stairs but this constant need for up and down was annoying.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rented the unit for a solo business trip, over the course of 4 days and it was perfect! Unit was very clean and had all necessities for a great stay. I rented the unit instead of hotel so I could cook and have some extra space and it did not disappoint. Location was perfect on the bay and I couldn’t recommend this particular unit and property management company more. Great communication and prompt to respond. Completely transparent process. Thank you for your hospitality and I will be renting again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This our first time staying on Balboa Island and we got lucky with this house. It was new, clean, and had good views of the water. There were two separate loft style bedrooms and one had it’s own bath. The home has enclosed garage parking which is a plus on the island. The location was perfect with a short walk to the Main Street with all the restaurants, cafe’s, and shops. The management group does an amazing job of communicating once you book the dates and the check in and out process was easy. I would highly recommend this home.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was clean and came as advertised. Good for 2 couples who know each other, as privacy is not ideal. Not sure why bedroom above kitchen has floor to ceiling windows- so u can’t leave open as you are on display to all . So no view of water although unit is on water. Bikes would be a nice addition.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cute beach house is second to none. I absolutely LOVE Balboa Island and staying here was icing on the cake! You can walk everywhere and this place was only a couple of blocks from the restaurants and shopping and the beach. Our 14 year old loved riding his skateboard to get hot chocolate in the morning. The house was VERY clean and we are so glad it has two bathrooms. I would highly recommend.

My family and I just had a lovely week in Balboa at the unit on North Bay Front and Apolena. I grew up in LA and would rent a house every summer with my parents from the 70s through the early 90s. Having moved out of California as an adult, I wanted to give my two young daughters the same experience and they had a blast. The unit is very clean and looks like it has just recently been made into a rental. Great natural light, excellent location 50 feet from the beach and a very short walk to all the shops on Marine. The only thing that was a bit odd about it was that its not really a 2 BD as there are no doors on the rooms. It’s two separate loft areas but noise does travel. The more private loft does not have a bathroom, the less private loft has a tiny bathroom. Loft aside, of the many rental properties on Balboa that I have stayed in over the years this was certainly one of the nicest. Would happily stay again.

I do recommend staying on Balboa Island. This particular property doesn't have a balcony or patio, the picture that is shown is for the downstairs unit. The bedroom that has a bathroom attached has the most uncomfortable bed I have EVER slept in. The bathroom isn't shown in the pictures because the size of it would be a deterrent, there isn't even a towel bar to dry out your towel. The bathroom is too small to change in and since the bedroom is a loft, you get to change in front of the neighbors and your guests below in the living room. Fortunately, there were only 3 of us staying in the condo, I don't recommend for 6 as listed. There is a quite small couch or rather love seat that will only accommodate 3 people. The kitchen is acceptable for people that plan to eat every meal out. The kitchen didn't have a chef's knife, paring knife, container with lid, filters for the coffee machine, or any cleaning supplies for the counter tops. I have stayed in countless home rentals and all of these items are usually pretty basic. I really contemplated giving this review, as I usually only give props to those that I have had a great stay at. I am hoping that the owner takes this as advice to further improve their guests experience.
