Beautiful property.

We loved our 10 day stay. Location is 1 block from the bay front and ferry, and a 5 minute walk to the Main Street. The upstairs unit was very fresh, clean, and updated. Deck gets great morning sun. The grand kids loved the bunk beds. Garage parking is very valuable on the Island (but extra tall vehicles won’t fit). Property manger was very responsive and immediately solved a problem we had with the heater. We use Balboa Island as our base for Disneyland- it’s only a 20 minute drive if you use the carpool lane. Spectacular area with plenty to do. We’re coming back to this unit again.
