Great for kids
Balboa Island is really its own little society but easily accessible. The Balbaloa Ferry is a 7 minute walk. The house is far from the main strip, so it is quiet. Well maintained classic style house perfect for families with kids. Large front room giving space for activities. This is not a place to sit on the couch and binge watch Netflix though, as the tv is located in a rather inconvenient location. If you are looking to sit on the couch and watch tv for your vacation, this isn't the place. Property management very responsive, within 30 minutes usually. Note: the wifi router is in the lower unit and we had some outages (the fault of the cable company) and it was resolved pretty quickly.

Fun island stay
A great stay on Balboa Island. The house has great location - so easy to get the to little beach at the end of the street and the ferry. The garage had lots of sand toys, chairs and boogie boards to use. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and glasses. As many vacation rentals are, some of the furnishings, knives and flooring was a bit worn but overall it was a nice place to stay with kids. The air conditioning unit is just in the main living/dining/kitchen area so the bedrooms can get warm but everything was still comfortable.

Island Fun
This is our second summer staying here and we love it. This property is close to everything - Ruby beach, big beach, balboa bars, the ferry and more. The house comes with all the things you need for a fun time! The owners are so kind and responsive. We can’t wait to rent from them again!

About the host

Hosted by Sunshine

Host profile image
We are a local family and have enjoyed numerous special occassions on Balboa Island. As the kids and grandkids have grown we have been opening up more dates for rentals. We hope many families will enjoy the magic of Balboa as we have for the past 40 years.

Why they chose this property

The beauty of the island and quaintness of the street made this home an easy decision for our family. Everything important to us is walkable yet away from any island congestion.

What makes this property unique

Our property is located 4 houses in from the north bay at the end of Garnet. There is a public dock one block away. We have 2 kayaks and 2 bicycles that are shared by both units. The small beach at the end of Garnet is a perfect spot to relax and ideal for families with small children. Steps away from our property so it's easy to go back and forth if necessary to retrieve the sunblock or beach pail. It is a short walk to the ferry and a very pleasant walk to Marine Ave. (the main street) to enjoy shopping, dining, Balboa Bars etc. If you want to see some of the local sights (Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, etc.) you are definitely centrally located and no more than a 20 minute drive. Also, I must mention that the lower unit although smaller has a very large patio that is like having an extra room of outdoor space. It is especially nice for people who just need a place to enjoy the outdoors. We also have an automatic awning over the downstairs patio. If you happen to rent both units for a family or large group you will find that patio a perfect setting for all to gather. We keep two banquet tables and 8 folding bridge chairs in the downstairs unit closet. We place 2 banquet tables alongside the existing patio table and have enough seating for our entire family to share a meal. I have observed many people who rent both units do the same.
