great location

The best house to entertain in on the Balboa Island! And the location is AMAZING! The kitchen is STOCKED with anything you could ever need to throw a brunch, lunch, or dinner for a large family or group. There are so many places to sit and gather including TWO outdoor dining tables as well as an indoor one. The views are EPIC and the sunsets are Stunning! The decor has major character, but hasn't been updated in quite some time. Some rugs and furniture have seen better days, for example, not a bad thing necessarily just a real lived-in vibe to be aware of. There's also no A/C- which isn't a big deal at night but during the day it can get a real toasty if you don't open up all the windows.

Wonderful location. Quaint Island and town. Definitely a fantastic holiday destination.If you have a rental car it’s perfect for getting to sights in LA and Anaheim. Lovely home with classic vintage decor.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2024
Location beautiful, living dining and kitchen and upstairs master lovely.
We were constantly disappointed. There was no renters guide book even though there was signage that said go to rental guide book to find out how to use the televisions or some other issue a guide book could handle. Rather than having to go through five different emails to see if we could find answers to our questions. Which most of our questions were not to be found in their emails. The email message after we arrived informed us to provide paper products such as toilet paper, toiletries, laundry soap, foil or parchment papers. Many of the basics we have grown to expect were not provided.
We searched for a place with a ground floor bedroom. One guest was wheelchair bound. The only bedroom on ground floor had one closet packed completely with heavy box’s that we had to move in order to hang clothes. After Saturday there was a number to call if you needed information that required a message and no one returned our call. This was the first time we have experienced such issues. We think there must be a change in the property management agency and they are not guest oriented. The experience was truly unacceptable.
