Lovely place Really great communication . Located on a quiet street

Stay was good. Property was a little worn and can use some updating. Window cranks are stripped making it hard to open windows for air flow. That said, location was great and check in was easy!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Being on Balboa is the best. Great location and walkable to all shops and restaurants on the island. House definitely needs some improvements, a little run down. Third bedroom didn’t really feel like a bedroom with how you had to access it, and the second twin bed in there is actually a trundle. We booked sort of late so I was so happy to find something for the holiday! Communication was excellent with the property manager.
6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2022
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The overall exterior picture is fine but the house has the feel of some thing that’s been rented 1 million times several things don’t work the room layout is BIZZARE but the water pressure is really good
