Our cozy island cottage is just steps away from the ferry dock. Take a quick ride over to the Balboa Fun Zone, balboa pier, and miles of sandy beaches. Or take a casual stroll around the bay front to enjoy the shops and restaurants on Marine Ave, Balboa Island. There is a local store, coffee shops and restaurant only a block away. The cottage has a unique front yard patio on Balboa Island for outdoor dining or a little R&R. It also has a gas fire pit, bbq grill, giant jenga, and outdoor dining area.
We loved everything about our weekend here. The owner was great to work with. Checkin was simple. The place is adorable. The pictures donât do it justice. We will be back!
The house is small and perfect. The front yard is spectacular and provided us with a beautiful place to hang out. We used the grill and fire pit and ate most of our meals outside. Just steps to the beach, the location is great.
A quirky but delightful 100 year old property. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need for a 3 week stay. The beds were very comfortable.
John, the host responded instantly to any requests, the checkin could not have been easier. The wood floor had just been refurbished and the cleaners had not got rid of all the dust. As soon as John was told the cleaners were back and the place was spotless. A superb location for enjoying Balboa Island and the Peninsula. We will book it again if we revisit Balboa.
Weâve always been smitten with the island and this lovely historical cottage was perfect for our extended stay. Between the grill with propane ready to go and the modern appliances and the well equipped kitchen,dining in was east and fun. Comfy beds, laundry access, and AC unit were great. John was a very communicative and generous hist - great experience!
We stayed here for a friendsâ weekend. Four of us stayed and enjoyed the fire pit outside, walks around the bay and beautifully decorated neighborhoods. Home is so cute and had everything we needed. Weâll definitely be back.
This property has its own private front yard area, where most properties on the island do not have this feature. Its also one of the oldest cottages on the island that has been fully restored.
