He even called us after our stay to make sure we enjoyed it and to see if we thought anything needed to be improved. We didn't see anything in need.

We've stayed in many places and this is one of our favorites. The master bedroom has a gorgeous view of the bay and very spacious with a desk with a view - and super comfy couch. Great space if you're needing to get some work done or just want a quieter place to sit and read. The other two bedrooms and bath upstairs also were fantastic. The kitchen is very user friendly and a nice dining room, with another full bath off the kitchen. Full screen TV's in LR and BR's and great amenities. Brad is a perfect host and we so enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks and duffy ride. Thank you Brad for a great getaway both for us and the girls had a blast!

Feb 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday The house was older and a lot of wood, which I liked. I picked this property because I grew up in a house like this; lots of wood, not stucco. Brad allowed us to bring our well behaved Golden Retriever, & I think she behaved well, at least I hope so. Would pick this house again. Only one problem is it takes the water a long time to get warm. Since we seem to have a water shortage I hate to let water waste while it warms up ##### jill p.

May 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic beachfront house on idyllic location We have rented this wonderful house on Balboa Island several times over the past years, and it is our favorite spot to stay on Balboa Island There is plenty of room, whether it is just my wife and I or our children and friends join us. The house is right on the bayfront, giving a great view of the boats out on the sparkling water, and you can set yourself down on the lovely wide beach for the afternoon. We cannot help but relax, as we start the day with a walk around the island promenade and stop for coffee and a muffin at our favorite coffee bar. The owner Brad has equipped the house with everything that you would need for your stay, from an outdoor barbecue to beach chairs, kayaks, and paddle boards so that you can get out on the water. And Brad is the perfect host, making sure that everything is ready for your arrival, and responding quickly should you contact him. We look forward to many return visits! ##### Douglas L.

The Duffy boat rental was an added benefit. All accommodations were excellent. Cable TV with plenty of channels including HBO and Showtime. Beds and closet space was excellent for my family. Parked the car and walked to all restaurants, ferry and beach. I looked at several places on the island and glad we chose this property! Hope to be back soon! Thanks Again! ##### Eddie D.
