I loved the interior decor in keeping with a beachy cottage feeling. Also loved the up to date clean and bright kitchen. We enjoyed the SUP paddle boards every day in the bay. And occasionally walked to Main Street for dinner or coffee.

We have stayed on BI for the last 15 years. This is one of our very favorites to date. Traditional BI cottage with all the comforts of today. Great location and owner. We will be sure to come back!

We have stayed at this property for 3 years now. It has the best location- only 4 houses from the boardwalk on a very quiet street. Only 4 blocks from Marine and a nice walk to the Balboa Ferry. Home is comfortable and very clean and includes all the amenities you need. It reminds me of the quaint home in the movie The Holiday- quaint, English cottage.

We spent a perfect week at this wonderful cottage home on Balboa. You can tell from the moment you walk in that this home is loved by the owner. Spacious front room and back room. 3 bedrooms upstairs were just right for our family. Highly recommend and would book again in the future.

This was our second year staying here and the house was just as wonderful as before. We couldn’t have asked for anything more in terms of comfortable beds, excellent communication, proximity to water/shopping/dining. The house is gorgeously appointed, the kitchen is well equipped, the WiFi excellent and we loved how centrally located the island is. There are excellent dining choices walking distance from the house but Newport is just a cross the bridge. My daughter took surf classes at Huntington Beach (12 minutes away) and we love the beaches south as well: crystal cove 15 min, Laguna 30 minutes. But what we really appreciated is that we could walk out of the garage with our kayaks or the paddle boards graciously provided and be in the water in minutes. We come to Balboa Island every summer, we’ve stayed in 3 other homes, this is our favorite place to stay.
