Beautiful Zen retreat with bay view from the balcony. Five houses from the beach you have a three-bedroom oasis. Cruiser bikes, surfboards, beach chairs, towels and toys are provided. Walk 5 minutes to ferry, restaurants, ferris wheel & jet skies. Bike ride over to the penninsula and ride down the beachfront to tiki bars, shops and surf spots. You'll spend all day sailing, surfing, biking or just relaxing on the beach. Then, at 5p.m. come relax on the balcony with a bottle of wine and a great view of sailboats slowing sailing down the harbor. It's amazing. It's Ruby Retreat time. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90570000/90560400/90560312/55cc63b5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perfect Renovated and Modern Duplex on Balboa Island Balboa Island - Kitchen - Pet friendly - Parking available - Microwave 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=90560312&PinnedHotelID=90560312&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48720000/48714300/48714288/c0c7583f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coastal Modern Balboa Beach Cottage, Steps from Water 4 BD 4 BA Balboa Island - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor Space 9.6 Exceptional 94 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=48714288&PinnedHotelID=48714288&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93330000/93322400/93322371/e70334b9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ultimate Bayfront Experience: Rare Double Lot! 608 Balboa Island - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 59 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=93322371&PinnedHotelID=93322371&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37930000/37928600/37928542/a682d062.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BALBOA ISLAND WATER FRONT - BEACH FRONT !!

Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Idyllic retreat We really enjoyed the location of this listing. It's so close to the water-you can see it from the balcony. The parking was quite easy and we never had to search. It made going back and forth so easy. Walking to Marine Avenue where all the food is was less than 10 minutes and we found ourselves walking every day. The site itself is so spacious and bright. It made our stay so comfortable. There was room to spread out and with adult children, it was so worth it. The kitchen had everything we needed for our four days there and having the bicycles and towels for the beach was such a wonderful added treasure. Our kids loved it so much that they begged us to return again next summer. We left some items accidentally when we checked out and they were so kind enough to mail them to us! ##### Laura Money S.
