The location is ideal for shopping and eating on the island, and it has the best beach on Balboa Island. I was pleasantly surprised by the facelift the owners gave to the house. It made the house even more inviting. Miriam is a very attentive and professional property manager. We had a couple of small issues that needed attention and Miriam was very prompt in addressing them and correcting them. It was a great experience again and we will certainly be returning. ##### art r.

The property management company was incredibly responsive and answered the one question we had within minutes. The rental was clean, comfortable, and well equipped for our stay. Perfect location that is less then 5 minutes from the main street with shops and restaurants. Loved the little beach in front of the rental patio.

Feb 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Feb vacay Everything was just wonderful about the stay. Jordan was right there if ever we needed help with anything. The only complaint, and this will keep us from renting this property again was the bathroom set up. No fun having the w/d in the second bath, and the master bath was so cramped it made it difficult to consider having two people using it. Only a single towel bar and no hooks for hanging wet towels, pjs etc. ##### Anne E. Stayed 14 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cherie B. Oct 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely accomodations with minor inconveniences The property has a fantastic view of the bay with a nice patio to sit outside. Interior design and furnishings are lovely. Close to stores and restaurants. The gas fireplace wasn't operational. They would have fixed while we were there but we didn't want the inconvenience. (We had already waited a day then hung around a few hours for first inspection before repair person was to be called)The owner lives upstairs which wasn't a problem until someone in the family decided they should sweep, use a leaf blower then rinse off our patio all while we're a few feet inside trying to relax and read. I had just swept up sand the day before because I noticed some sand had blown in. Another inconvenience was that the upstairs seems to have their outside lights on automatic all night long.....I often times have problems sleeping and when I do I go to the living room it was lit up from their outdoor lights. One might wonder why I didn't just close the shades ....because the main shade is permanently open until the company finds a way to repair (we did have a representative from the rental company come by - very pleasant person, professional - the shade is something that is on their radar and their working on). Also...no one has taken the time to update clocks on the stove and microwave. Small annoyances that all could have been avoided. The place is fantastic with a few adjustments. A few ##### Cherie B.
