About this house rental
Summary:
This charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Balboa Island front cottage is conveniently located within walking distance to the charming shops and cafes on Marine Ave.
The Space:
This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Balboa Island front cottage is conveniently located in walking distance to the charming shops and cafes on Marine Ave., as well as the historic Balboa Island Ferry that takes both cars and pedestrians on a 5 minute ride to Balboa Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean beaches.
The front of this rustic cottage features a cozy outdoor patio complete with a gas BBQ and patio furniture where you can prepare your favorite outdoor meals or enjoy your morning coffee. The inside of this cottage has purposely been maintained in its original Balboa Island vintage style featuring a high-vaulted ceiling in the living room outlined with traditional wood planks. There is wood flooring throughout the cottage, a wood-burning fireplace, and 2 cozy sofas in the living area.
The kitchen is fully equipped including a refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove, microwave, double stainless-steel sink, and fully stocked with all the cookware and place settings you will need. Adjacent to the kitchen and living room, is a separate dining area with a rectangular wooden table that seats six people very comfortably. In the hallway, you will find all 3 bedrooms. The first one on the right has a queen bed, directly across the hall is the other smaller bedroom with a twin bed and an en suite full bathroom. The spacious master bedroom found at the end of the hall has its own en suite bathroom, plenty of closet space, and a flat-screen TV.
There is a shared washer and dryer and a spot for 1 car in the garage beneath the back unit which is not part of this unit. Street parking is also usually available.

Great location. Very cozy space.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Overall a nice stay. We think the property could use some deep cleaning ie dusting shutters and and wood floors. Location is convenient to beach. Loved evenings on the patio.Note: The gardners showed up with blowers at 8am on our last day as we slept! Not ok. Check out is at 10:00 and work on the home should begin then!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2024
The home was super cute and perfect for our stay. It was spotlessly clean and the offer to have groceries pre-delivered was fantastic! Only complaint is the check in process and "house rules" are not located within VRBO. They will send you an email under a name I did not recognize with instructions on how to log in to their portal. It took me at least 2 hours to figure out how to enter the home. If the email just would have mentioned VRBO in the title, it would have been so much easier.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
Nice place, but very noisy, due to proximity to busy street. I knew it would be noisy, but not that noisy.
