Another Great Getaway

We always enjoy our week at Chase’s cottage. We celebrated Mother’s Day, had beautiful weather and were lucky enough to add a couple of extra days to our vacation. We looked forward to having coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night out on the new deck furniture. Until next time!!

Just Right

Great communication and just a very well maintained cottage loft feel here. Outdoor patio is a surprise with really comfortable seating and just a great place to hang out. We easily walked downtown and to the water. The property had great storage for our “stuff” too which was appreciated. Really good shower and just a fun place to stay.

Best Cottage on Balboa Island

I’ve been staying on Balboa Island at least 3 times a year for the past 30 years, and this updated cottage is one of the best beach cottages my wife and I have ever rented! Excellent price point and a beautiful remodel with a lot of space for two adults.

Great location on Balboa Island; quiet and clean!

We just stayed here for the 2nd time while visiting family in Huntington Beach. The apartment is attractively furnished in gray, navy and white, and has everything you will need in the kitchen. It is steps away from the walkway that runs all the way around Balboa Island. We look forward to returning.

Property and host were both great! I experienced a strange glitch when booking this VRBO trip through Expedia. I could not connect the reservation to my VRBO account and VRBO was unable to resolve the issue. However, they put me in direct contact with the host, who was very professional and communicative. We enjoyed staying in this cute property on beautiful Balboa Island. Highly recommend.

Home away from home

We come to the LA area every three months for medical appointments and this was by far the best place we have stayed. Chase is an excellent host and has paid attention to all the details to make for a great guest experience. We would definitely stay here again. Great quiet neighborhood. Walkable to shops and restaurants. Close to all the action.

My husband and I have never been to California before and this area was recommended by family. We would come back in a heartbeat! This property is walking distance to so much and we spent so much time outside! The property had everything we needed including the kitchen that was stocked with things to cook with! We will definitely be back!

Perfect stay!

The cottage is tastefully decorated, well appointed and immaculately clean! The beds and pillows are so incredibly comfortable that combined with buttery soft linens you will never want to get up in the morning! An ideal quiet location and perfect host…it doesn’t get any better than that! We definitely will rent this unit again.

Loved our stay! A++++++

Cannot say enough good things about this rental. I don't love vacation rentals and have been avoiding, but took a chance on this trip and I am SO glad we did. We checked in late evening and had no trouble locating everything. The directions were clear. Fresh, clean, and every single thing we needed was at an arm's reach. We were very comfortable. Walkability to the ferry was perfect. And it goes without saying, Balboa Island at Christmas is MAGICAL! Thank you for the wonderful stay, we hope to be back soon!
