NOTE: Sleeps six though not recommended for more than four adults. Master bedroom has one queen bed and the second smaller bedroom has two twin beds. The living room couch is NOT a sofa-bed. Children who can comfortably double up in twin beds or babies in cribs, for example. Note: I have a Pack-n-Play for babies and toddlers available upon request.

Around the corner from a charming 2-block main street in the quaint downtown village, easy access to boutique shopping, coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants. Easy on/off the island. Small, sandy beaches and a 1.6 mile walkway around the perimeter, perfect for strolling and people watching – all just steps from the front door. And it’s just a short walk and a 5-minute ferry ride to the famous Balboa Fun Zone, complete with Ferris wheel, arcades, boat rentals and guided boat tours of the beautiful homes on Newport Harbor, or you can catch the Catalina Flyer to Catalina Island.

Balboa Island is just off the coast of Newport Beach and is a short drive away from many Southern California attractions, including Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Hollywood, San Diego Zoo, and much, much more. Only 6 miles from SNA Santa Ana/Orange County airport, and 45 miles south of LAX Los Angeles International Airport. Come and enjoy the relaxed island lifestyle, a safe haven conveniently located in the middle of coastal Orange County.

We had a wonderful stay in this cottage. Kari was wonderful to work with and everything was super easy. We enjoyed spending time on the front porch and the house had everything we needed to eat in and live comfortably. The location is perfect! We enjoyed our stay very much!!!

* Many of the seasonings provided in the kitchen are expired. * kitchen utensils were greasy and unclean * many pedestrians were passing by out the front door and it was very noisy.

This is our second time staying here, with our 9 year old daughter and 2 golden retrievers. It’s a perfect spot - comfortable, clean, close to everything and especially the bay and beach. The front patio is so relaxing - we work out there, eat there and entertain there. Really wonderful overall. Kari’s great, responsive and nice. This is our go-to now whenever we come to Balboa Island. We’ll be back soon!

I really can’t say enough about this property. It’s the second year in a row that my three daughters and I stayed at this house for Spring Break. The host is very responsive. The house is super clean and very well appointed! The location to town is perfect. The access to garage parking is incredibly convenient and washer dryer a complete bonus. Thank you Kari for another absolutely amazing vacation!! Looking forward to our next stay!! ❤️

I stayed at Kari's cottage for nearly 4 months, as I had taken a temporary work assignment in Orange County, and wanted a safe, easy place to work and play. The cottage is exactly as shown and was comfortable and cute! The master bedroom had tons of storage, and the bed was comfy. Walking distance to all the shops on the island, the ferry, and the ability to take a daily walk around the island was a huge bonus. Kari was always available when I needed her (which wasn't much). The community is friendly, and I wouldn't hesitate to return to this quaint little cottage on this sweet little island!
