Amazing Location!! You feel like a local!

House had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Fireplace was an extra nice touch. Location can’t be beat! I would stay again! Garage is actually a good size for two vehicles but a challenge comes into play because there are trash bins in the alley from the market. Without those trash bins you have plenty a room but since they’re there, one vehicle is probably ideal. One small thing to note (I didn’t rate down for) was the cleaning crew arriving after we were told we could check in early. Also, our check out time was 10am and they were there at 9:30am. When I told them we would leave at 10am, they graciously left but came back at 9:55, we were gone by then but just wanted to note that.

Birthday Celebration

Beach island setting can’t be beat! Great location with view of the canal and short walking distance to shops and dining. Parking on the island can be a challenge so having a garage with dedicated parking is a huge plus! House has a well appointed kitchen with ample dining area seating. Lovely patio with gas fire pit and grill facing the canal. It was perfect for our “girls getaway birthday celebration! We would definitely return!Downstairs hall, bath and bedroom obviously get a great deal of use and could use a coat of paint. Rare to find a home with three full baths! Also a huge plus for this location! Loved our stay!

Fantastic Time On Balboa Island

Greg was a fantastic host and his home was perfect for our family. Plenty of room to spread out and centrally located to make walks and access super easy! The rooftop deck and backyard patio on the canal were just bonuses.

Beautiful property in a great location! Host was wonderful and very accommodating! Only issue we had with the property was the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Unfortunately; we had to re-clean the showers before using them. Otherwise, our stay was perfect in every way.

Little Gem

What an amazing little stay we had for my sister in laws bachelorette party. It was so convenient to all the stores and is walking distance to a lot of activities on the island/restaurants. It was so easy to work with Greg and our check in process was seamless. Would definitely rent this place out for my family at some point and hope to in the near future!
