We loved this house and location. There was plenty of space for our group and an amazing location - close to shopping/dining on Marine, just a few houses away from the water - but private as you are not right on the water.
The kitchen was stocked as well! It was an overall great experience!

5 stars all the way!
Everything about this house is 5 stars! The location is great, just a couple blocks from Marine Blvd and a few houses from the beach. The house is beautifully redone and comes stocked with everything you could need. The beds are incredibly comfortable. We appreciated having the bikes to rides. Sheila was so easy to work with. This was the perfect place for a "Moms" getaway! We will definitely stay here again!

Excellent Home on Balboa Island
Great older home on Balboa Island, all redone and so cute. The home was spotless and all the amenities were well thought out.
The communication with the owner was excellent. Sheila welcomed us via message and gave us tips on the boat parade.
The only small issues were the heater controller we always had to adjust and the hot water takes a LONG time to get to each area of the house.
Would definitely recommend the home to others and will stay there again when in the area. Thanks for a great vacation!

Absolutely perfect house!
The house is in an ideal area where you can walk to everything and with their bikes, it makes going to the Peninsula and beach so easy! We loved sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine at night and truly enjoying the beauty of the island. Perfect for a family or a romantic getaway.

We had a great time and enjoyed wonderful weather. Property is close to the water and close to restaurants. Worked well for all ages 8 to 72. The house had everything including staples in the kitchen so we didn’t have to wAste money buying things like spices.

Sheila is the perfect hostess
Sheila has the 5 star treatment down pat. Really really nice house, all the tools a kitchen can hold, everything well stocked, and an outstanding location. We couldn't have had a nicer vacation at the beach. Doesn't get better than this.

Wonderful Vacation
We enjoyed our stay and the house was beautiful. Very well appointed., Bikes Sups and Kayaks - we didn't need to bring or rent anything and was able to enjoy all the island and peninsula had to offer. We did two days at Disney and the location was excellent for access. Will stay again.

It was a fantastic time...we all enjoyed it thoroughly.
Sheila, the owner, is so helpful and kind...and has literally thought of every convenience for her renters! The house is adorable and so very clean. This was very important to me when I was looking for our rental, and it exceeded my expectations. The beds were so comfortable, as well! You can tell she takes great pride in her house...My family can’t wait to rent here again...and I grew up in Balboa, so I already knew that was the best! 😊�

Beautiful and comfortable home
We really enjoyed our extended weekend in Balboa! The house is the perfect walking distance to just about everything and has a bonus of parking in the garage! The host has planned for every activity and provided bikes, paddle boards, beach chairs and even a kiddie pool for my two year old daughter! The interior of the house is beautifully decorated with comfy furniture and beds and entertainment options in every room! We were even entertained on a rainy, gloomy night! I can’t wait to stay here again!

The BEST home to rent on Balboa Island!
I can't say enough wonderful things about this home! My goal was to find the perfect home to have a pre-wedding girls getaway for my daughter and family and I found it! From beginning to end Sheila made our time at her home awesome. She offered fantastic referrals for an afternoon at the spa and local restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed the fun toys that came with her home - the bicycles (so great, we used them every day), beach chairs, beach umbrella and kayaks! We were just steps away from the beach and enjoyed taking the bikes on the ferry over to Newport where we rode along the strand. And the home! - so cute, so comfortable, so beautifully renovated and so CLEAN! Sheila even made sure to offer a crib knowing that my 2 month old granddaughter was part of our girls weekend as well! The ambiance of the home was so appreciated and the front porch was the perfect outdoor space to relax. I was already looking at my calendar before we left to see when I can come back again ! Thanks so much Sheila, your home is a gem!

Great Family Vacation Home.
Our family recently enjoyed a week on Balboa Island. This house was perfect. Everything was clean, organized and just a few houses from the South Bay! We had a family reunion, many guests and loved the outdoor patio and BBQ! The owner is very nice, helpful and accommodating.
Can't wait to return next year!
