Balboa Dream
This spot was absolutely perfect for 2 beach bumming kids celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. It was magical to walk through the festively lit streets to admire beautiful beach homes. Its wonderful to ditch your car and enjoy everything close by.

Loved our stay! A++++++
Cannot say enough good things about this rental. I don't love vacation rentals and have been avoiding, but took a chance on this trip and I am SO glad we did. We checked in late evening and had no trouble locating everything. The directions were clear. Fresh, clean, and every single thing we needed was at an arm's reach. We were very comfortable. Walkability to the ferry was perfect. And it goes without saying, Balboa Island at Christmas is MAGICAL! Thank you for the wonderful stay, we hope to be back soon!

Wonderful one bedroom...The bedroom itself is quite large with 2 queen size beds, a very nice living room and kitchen. Very clean and welcoming, complete with a small outside area perfect to be able to enjoy the evening and barbeque. The carport is a plus with easy access to the unit.

Wonderful upstairs cottage
We loved our stay here! The owner Chase is beyond wonderful. The check in process was a breeze. It’s super quiet, adorable and the location is perfect. Chase thought of everything, soap & shampoo, towels, cooking utensils and more, to make it feel like a home away from home. We loved walking to grab donuts in the morning, taking the ferry in the afternoons to ride e-bikes and take in the fun zone, etc.

We had a great stay. It was super clean and well supplied. Lots of outlets for our electronics. The breeze was amazing and we enjoyed the outside patio. The beds were very comfortable. We did use the heat and fireplace a few times and it kept everything warm and cozy. Close to the water and shopping. We would definitely recommend this wonderful place and hope to return again.
