Perfect for a short stay!

Exactly as described and great location! We had a nice, quiet stay. Host had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower and blow dryer in the bathroom. There also were beach towels, a beach bag, and beach chairs available to use. The shower itself was quite small but think that is par for the course on the island in general. Would stay again!

Perfect spot for traveling solo and not having a car, although the space is definitely big enough for two! Just steps to the ferry and the boardwalk which goes all the way around the island for peaceful morning walks. Property manager was quick to respond when I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the shower. Delicious restaurant next door with excellent service that doubles as a coffee shop in the AM. Will definitely stay here again if available.

The hosts were great, providing all necessary information prior to arrival. The apartment is in a quiet area, at the rear away from traffic. Small, quaint, very comfortable and clean. Met our needs wonderfully as we used it to just sleep and shower. AC was a little noisy, but hosts working on upgrades. A restaurant 2 doors away, a small market less than a block away. A ten minute walk takes you to the main road with it's many great restaurants and shops. The ferry is less than a block away which puts the Balboa Peninsula 5 minutes away and you can go on it by foot or car. Parking is congested, but very accessible. Just follow the Host's advice. We had No Problem! The property gave us the opportunity for a relaxing time away, while we enjoyed fine food, sightseeing and swimming in the ocean. Spent a week at the property and would recommend it!

Such a great location, it was a little noisy at night so you might want to bring earplugs, also there is no Ac. But we loved it. Super comfortable bed. We will be back for sure!

Nice studio on a quaint island

The location was a bit awkward at first, but once we discovered the alleyway behind the building to the stairs up to our unit, it made dropping off bags and such easier. The studio was nicely appointed. I have difficulty with stairs and the loose railing at the top of the staircase was challenging. They let us check in early and never bothered us during our stay.

Little Gem

I stayed for 4 nights in mid June and another 5 later in the month. Absolutely loved it.. Perfect for solo or a couple. Location is great. Enjoyed a walk around the island morning and evening. Great restaurant next door. Full size fridge, coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven. 2 beach chairs, towels and a beach bag. Laundromat is half a block away, as is the water. This unit is above the garage but very quiet. Trick to the shower; twist and pull. Be aware that there is no on-site parking but street parking is easy on weekdays; weekends and holidays limited to 3 hours from 8am-6pm, so plan ahead. Watch street cleaning signs as well. I made that mistake the first night. This is a little gem and a great find. Hope to return!

Will stay again!

This is a great little room on Balboa Island. It reminded me of the Med; storybook sleepy coastal town, mostly quiet w the hustle and bustle of daily life. The location is phenomenal, the linens were good, the bed is comfortable, the host was efficient. I was nervous about street parking and had no problem finding a spot; just paid attention to the signs. Finding the apt is a little tricky, the host gives clear directions, it's easy to access. It's an easy walk to everything, including a small market w essentials and the ferry. Balboa Island is a storybook in Lego Land! There's so much to see walking through the streets and along the coast; it's impressive. Would stay here again for sure!
