We were in the area for a regatta and this place was adorable, perfectly located and so easy to be in - the treats/snacks were such a great touch. We are thinking about coming back soon just so we can stay here again. Thank you to Pete for making it so magical.

relaxing weekend

We came to relax after a busy vacation, and to enjoy the boat light parade, great location. If you don't mind close neighbors and hard to find parking (most likely just this time of year) this is the great place. It is supplied with almost everything you can think of.

AMAZING PLACE TO STAY

My husband and I went to celebrate his 60th Birthday. Peter was amazing from start to finish! He made sure we were able to get in with no issues. He set up a super cute basket with treats and a birthday card and champagne and cheese in the fridge. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in and Balboa Island is amazing! Peter suggested a few restaurants for my husbands birthday dinner and it was perfect! Would definitely stay here again!
