A one-of-a-kind, man-made treasure, Balboa Island is a gem whether you drive, walk, bike or take the Balboa Island Ferry to the island. Balboa Island’s Marine Avenue is home to chic coastal shops featuring unique nautical designs, stylish beach fashions, art and jewelry. It’s also home to quaint Balboa Island restaurants and bistros serving up a variety of dishes bursting with flavor. The selections on Balboa Island go beyond the local fresh seafood of the day with flavors of Italian, Mexican, and French-Swiss mixed in to the culinary choices.
There may be nothing more iconic than the island’s two famous desserts, the Balboa Bar and Frozen Banana. The local sweet tooth treasures have been mainstays for nearly 75 years, and have been imitated and replicated, including on the hit TV show “Arrested Development.” The tasty treats are dipped in chocolate and covered with a variety of coatings from nuts and sprinkles to cookie crumbs.
If you want to visit the DISNEYLAND RESORT area, our property is located just under 20 miles to the resort and it's two main parks - DISNEYLAND and DISNEY'S CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE. Make sure you check out STAR WARS LAND! After a great day at the parks, you can return back to your beach front oasis, refresh, relax, and take a stroll down to the beach.
If you are interested in the Laguna Beach PAGEANT OF MASTERS during July, this is a fantastic place to stay. Lyft or Uber is the way to get to the event. You can enjoy a nice glass of wine on the patio before your ride takes you to Laguna Beach.
Additional local attractions include Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Aquarium of the Pacific, South Coast Plaza, and the Fun Zone!

We LOVED this vacation rental. Best location on the island. Close to the ferry and close to the public swim area. Very clean! Beds were comfy and kitchen was fully stocked. Great communication from agency and even an early check in. Would book here again for sure!
I enjoyed my time here so much! The owner/managers were so accommodating and friendly, check in and out was really easy and the location was just perfect. I will definitely be back!
Great place to stay, quiet at night but Balboa Island is just amazing.
The kitchen is adequately stocked, but if you are planning on doing some extensive cooking bring your spices, etc.
Beds are comfortable, and love the fact this place has an AC!!
I would highly recommend this property. The location is ideal and is very well maintained. The property manager was very quick to respond and friendly. If you can get this property, you are aure to love it!
We had a good stay here. We really enjoyed the large open kitchen and living area with all the windows that open onto the deck. The place was clean and welcoming. Most of the place was nicely updated. Would love to see them update the old bathroom shower tub and tile as well . The sometimes bustling restaurant with the sounds of people enjoying themselves right next door was a non-issue most nights after 8:30 p.m. after which everything was very quiet and relaxing. Would definitely stay here again.
We stayed here for nine days and every was great. We visited the Fun Zone via the Balboa Ferry had lunch in the Pavilion which was excellent.
Scott the property manager was great to work with we wanted and extra day and was not a problem. Nice quiet place and close to a lot of activities. We will stay here again when in town.
Property is just as pictured. No frills but very well organized, everything very easy to use. A/C works very well, BBQ grill is really great, all kitchen appliances in good working order, bath towels fresh, soft and plentiful, roomy closets. Great location if you want close to ferry, easy walking to bayfront.
Excellent information provided ahead of check in. Covered reserved parking a great plus. Loved the kitchen and living area. Queen bed and pillows were very comfortable. Particularly enjoyed the heater in the bathroom on our cold winter morning. Close to all the action....two minute walk to the ferry to get to the peninsula, 5 minute walk to get to the cute downtown area. The neighborhood does an amazing job decorating for Christmas. We enjoyed our stay.
We have stayed in several rentals in the Newport Beach area. This place is definitely a favorite! Clean, amazing location, plenty of room, awesome kitchen.
We stayed here during the first hurricane in the area in over 80 years. The owners kept us informed, and checked on us throughout the storm. We were safe and sound in this rental.
Can’t wait until our next stay!

Peaceful weekend in perfect location
This is a lovely unit strategically placed on Balboa Island near the ferry, making it easy to walk either over to Marine Ave. or across the ferry to the peninsula. I loved having air-conditioning (which worked perfectly and quietly) and a reserved, covered driveway parking spot (an uncommon amenity on the island). It's also great being next to Todos Santos for coffee in the morning and amazing dinner in the evening. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed.
We wanted to visit Balboa Island in the "off" season and it was just as we hoped. Quiet and lovely weather, and the location of this rental worked out perfect for us. We loved being able to open the French doors and letting the weather in. Property Manager was very responsive and helpful, and also welcomed us nicely. Also loved the proximity to Todos Santos which had a great coffee bar in the morning and excellent food and service as well.

Reliable quality and professionalism
We are repeat customers with this property and recently enjoyed another fantastic week-long stay. We returned because we could count on the quality, cleanliness, and professionalism. Our expectations were fully satisfied. The kitchen and living area are recently remodeled, feeling spacious, clean, and modern. The A/C is a major plus too!
We enjoyed the location of this home! Easy to take the ferry or walk into town. Home was beautiful and having a parking spot every day and not having to look for on street parking was icing on the cake! The cleaning person forgot to change the sheets in the master bedroom because they were not clean at all but I am sure it was just an oversight. We will definitely be staying here again!!

Great Location
We had our first stay on Balboa Island and this place did not disappoint. The host was great to work with and the place is very comfortable. It was nice having a place with A/C as well as a reserved area to park. We had an SUV car rental and had plenty of space to park. We had everything we needed while staying there and the patio is so nice to sit out on during the day and very private. The location is great, just right down from where the ferry comes in. We really enjoyed walking around the island every morning and the shops and restaurants are all very good. We are already looking forward to our next trip back!
Property was in a perfect location. A short walk to the strip of shops / restaurants on balboa island. Hop right on to the ferry to get over to the balboa peninsula. Have an awesome Mexican restaurant right underneath. Convenient effortless parking. Had the pleasure of hearing a band at the balboa park which you can see from the balcony. Peaceful quant little spot perfect for a family of 4-5.
We were participating in a paddling training camp at the Newport Aquatic Centre. It was a very comfortable space for 2 adults but could have fit 4 if needed. We really appreciated the well-equipped kitchen as we were cooking healthy meals at home. Property manager was very responsive. Only took advantage of the included e-bike rental one day because we were otherwise busy - it was a wonderfully fun way to explore the area.

Great place to stay on Balboa Island
My family stayed here for a week during Thanksgiving, visiting my sister, who lives in Newport. This accommodation was great. The best highlights were:
Walking pretty much everywhere on Balboa Island.
Walking to the ferry to get to Balboa Peninsula and exploring around there, and walking to the beaches.
My kids loved the small park across the street with the basketball goal and playground.
The restaurant right next door served delicious Mexican food.
We invited my sister's family over, and I grilled dinner for everyone.
The dedicated parking spot is great!
Overall we were very happy with the accommodation and would stay there again.
Even though I booked thru VRBO, this property is managed by iTrip. My only negative comment is I had to pay a $140 fee to VRBO. But thereafter all arrangements and communication was thru iTrip. iTrip was very helpful, professional and courteous. Checkin and Checkout was excellent and all communication with iTrip was exceptional, fast responses, and Courteous.
Wonderful!!! We stayed 7 nights at this apartment.
Could not have been happier with the location. Parking was a luxury if anyone has stayed on Balboa Island knows.
Would love to return.
Kitchen has everything you would need, we hosted a small dinner group and had plenty of room.
Balcony provides added space for morning coffee and cocktails.
Very happy with our choice.

Always Wonderful
Our family vacations through iTrip on Balboa island every year. There's always fun things to do within walking distance, whether it's shopping or the beach. The condo is perfect. Everything is well put together and the air-conditioning keeps the condo the right temp all day. On the balcony, the awning provides a break from the direct sunlight and lets you enjoy time outside with family or people watching on the street. We will be back again for a 4th time soon! With such a large kitchen, there is no need to spend money eating out unless you want to.

Great Stay
We found the house to exactly fit our needs. The Ferry is right down the street, giving us easy access to the beach, the pier, and Newport Landing Restaurant on the other side. It is a short walk to the boardwalk and the shops on Marine. Being two bedrooms, I could use one as an office, as I brought a card table to set up in the unused room. All rooms are air-conditioned and work effectively and quietly. While there is no garage, there is a canvas canopy where one can park their car. We especially liked the large, front porch with the overhead awnings where we could eat our meals and sit any time of day. The TV was very nice and there were many channels from which to choose. We will definitely book this again. Great Value for the money.
