We had the most lovely stay on Balboa Island with our group of five women. The accommodations were great and we loved the location and walkabilty of the island. Brad was a fantastic host. And the use of the Duffy boat was the highlight of our trip.

Super fun Christmas family celebration

Our sons and grandchildren stayed here with us and it was perfect for us. Great grandparents, Aunts and Uncles joined us for Christmas dinner and there was plenty of room. Great location. We walked to the ferry, restaurants downtown, and there are two markets that are walking distance.

Wonderful beach house getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home on Balboa Island immensely. Balboa Island has become one of our favorite places, and this is the perfect location from which to enjoy everything it has to offer. The house is comfortable(great beds, linens, comfy furniture), well-equipped in every sense (the kitchen has everything needed for making great meals), and we enjoyed being there immensely. We can’t wait to return.

Island Gem

This is a wonderful location on Balboa Island! We vacation on the island almost every year and this property is one of our favorites. There are many amenities that other houses don’t provide such as paddle boards, kayaks, and an optional use of the Duffy boat. Our family, from grandparents to infants, thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This is wonderful house located right on the beach path on Balboa Island. We have stayed here many times, my wife and I and sometimes our adult children. Two steps to the beach and you are all set; beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels come with the house. The owner, Brad, is super responsive, getting back to us quickly and solving any problems (although there seldom are any problems). We cannot wait until our next vacation at this property.

Great Getaway

Our 3 generation family getaway to Balboa was perfect for everyone. The teens loved paddle boarding, the parents enjoyed the Serenity of our ocean view and the grandparents were delighted with Brad’s beautiful home and all its amenities. The colorful sunsets and ocean views made our family gathering one to remember. We look forward to returning to charming Balboa soon and would love to stay in the same house as it was wonderful for all of us. Thanks for being a great host Brad.
