Activities and Attractions:

Our property is located less than one block from the beautiful Balboa Bay, boardwalk, and the Balboa Ferry that gives access to the Peninsula beaches and Pacific Ocean. The ferry is a lovely 5 minute ride directly to the Balboa Fun Zone (with arcades, rides, and snacks), the Balboa Pier, shopping and restaurants, boating and fishing excursions (including transport to nearby Catalina Island), and bike/water sport rentals.

Agate is the only street on the island with a children's climbing gym and basketball court. On the island itself, Marine Avenue boasts fine restaurants and boutique shops that are only 2 miles away from even more fine dining, shopping, and movie theaters at Newport's famous outdoor mall, Fashion Island.

For those interested in seeing more of the Orange County coastline, Laguna Beach lies only 7 miles further down the Pacific Coast Highway. Originally an artist's colony, Laguna hosts the Pageant of the Masters and Sawdust Festival in the summer, art galleries, and fine dining and shopping along with wonderful beaches with tide pools.

Island Retreat is within 30 minutes of Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm and an hour or so from Universal Studios, Hollywood, San Diego Zoo and Sea World. The Santa Ana/Orange County (SNA) Airport is only 10 minutes away and the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is approximately 45 minutes away.

This was an incredible property for a weekend stay in Balboa. Location less than a minute walk from the ferry made it very easy to get around. Very spacious property with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, making it a great choice for large groups. The property manager was very responsive and kind. Would definitely stay here again!

Cute area. The house was a little worse for the ware (showers not working, broken small appliances, patched holes in the wall) but that makes sense after what I’m sure was a busy summer season. It was good for what we needed- a place to crash for two nights. I don’t think we would have tolerated a longer stay

Nice property for the price. Great access to the ferry over to the peninsula, and a short walk to the shops of Balboa Island.

Girls trip for 5. Location was great, close to ferry and short walk to shopping and dining. Ended up driving a Tahoe and there was available street parking, the garage would have been too tight. We parked the car and left it for the weekend just using the ferry and walking everywhere.

Enjoyed a visit to Balboa last year and did it again this year. Kids, 15 and 12, know the island and Newport well. Close to the ferry, a garage space and AC. Host was responsive and very accommodating. No complaints.

Great stay that accommodated all of our needs and more! Loved having access to all the beach toys! Great location, easy access to and from the airport, to and from Disneyland, to and from the beach, and quick walk to the marina. The beds were a bit small and uncomfortable and the curtains in the rooms (if there were any) could be switched for blackout. Otherwise a very enjoyable vacation!
