Comfortable property, enjoyed our stay.
Pros: Great location on Balboa Island, very short walk to Marine Ave and its shops and eateries. Fun to watch boats in the channel. Balboa Island is a treat. Property Manager Steve is very easy to deal with.
Cons: Fees include $125 linen rental charge. They drop off linens and towels, it's up to the renter to put the sheets on the beds and pillow cases on the pillows.
The noise from jets leaving John Wayne airport is pretty loud beginning at 7 a.m. Assume it would be the same anywhere in the vicinity.
There is a small one car garage, and while parking a mid-size car was okay, we would have been reluctant to try parking a full size car in there. Street parking for visitors is difficult to find at times.
Property needs a new roof. A portion of the roof and the skylight are covered with visqueen/tarp. We had some stiff winds and hard rain but there were no issues.

Rented a Bayfront unit for two months thru Abrams. They were very easy to work with and extremely helpful. Steve was always there to answer any questions we had. I would only rent through Abrams Coastal Properties. They were great to work with!!!!

Best location on the Island for a weekly rental. One short block from Marine Ave. where all the restaurants are as well as Sports Rents for e-bikes & paddle boards and of course nightly Balboa Bars for the kids! Our daily activities include walking the island, bike & e-bike rides to the wedge & around the Back Bay, paddle boarding and enjoying the sunset views from the patio while playing cards & drinking wine!

Reviewer Comments:
Kitchen appliances need to be updated: oven does not work properly. Coffee maker needs to be replaced. No hand rails on both sides of 4 steps leading up to front door. Real safety issue I am a senior and I had a very difficult time getting up and down the stairs. Also blinds didn't work properly.
