Balboa Family vacation 2023

We had our two sons and their families join us for a family reunion. There were ten of us from 65 to 6 and we never felt cramped or on top of each other. Great location! Twenty more family members were down the boardwalk so it was perfect. Walking distance to restaurants, shops and Fun Zone. The house was big enough and clean and well equipped. All of the TVs and appliances worked, even the fireplace. Mattresses not very comfortable but that is to be expected. I loved this beach house!

Fun Staycation on the Sand!

My daughters had a 3 day weekend so we planned some beach time. It was important for us to be right on the sand, and that we were! It was easy to bounce between the house, sand, water, firepits, and volleyball courts throughout the day. Parking on site was too tight for my Tesla to fit but there was ample street parking available during the off season and the parking lot is just a few steps away for convenience. We walked to the fun zone and to dinner each night so didn't cook at all but enjoyed spending some quality time together. The place is very large with plenty of room for everyone. Beds were comfortable and the place was clean. It would have been nice to have beach gear, coolers, or bikes provided so I didn't have to lug so much stuff to the house and back for just a long weekend but we made it work!

This house and location was perfect! It was just as advertised. Communication was great, plenty of extra pillows and blankets, kitchen was well stocked, and it was very clean. Parking is a challenge if you are driving a large SUV, and you need to bring your own beach equipment. We will definitely look at renting here again!

We rented this property to celebrate Mother's Day weekend and it was the perfect place for it! We were able to walk to the pier, restaurants, and ice cream shops nearby. The volleyball courts were directly across from the house so the kids were able to play games and lay out on the sand. The house also has a bbq grill land fully stocked kitchen, which made it very convenient for us to cook. Thank you for having us! We definitely made some memories with the family this weekend!

What a wonderful stay! Perfect location. I chose this home due to reviews about location and being able to accommodate a large group and I can say I was not disappointed! Now the driveway to garage is extremely steep, but parking was no problem. Plenty of lots and or public parking. Everything was wonderful and will choose to stay again!

The best part about this place is its location for sure. It’s right on the beach/trail, with nearby fire pits, volleyball court, and pier. The balboa island ferry is also easily walkable. The house is spacious, kitchen fully stocked, plus 2 parking spaces (note: very narrow and fairly hard to get into however, especially for bigger SUVs). The main downside here keeping it from 5 stars is that the WiFi is not good, especially in the bedroom areas. We were only sometimes able to stream Netflix on the tv in the living room. Anything beyond basic web browsing was a challlenge. We also noted that the units above and next to us had many people in them (probably around 20 people each), which made it a little louder than we were expecting outside, but luckily they didn’t stay up later than us and we couldn’t hear them much inside. Overall I’d stay there again, as long as they get faster WiFi.

Excellent Property Management Company

We came into town for a memorial. The management company from day one were amazing. We had one tiny issue and although I said it wasn’t urgent they were there within a few hours to fix it. The location was perfect and the accommodations were great. There was enough of everything for our stay. We so appreciate how amazing they were. They were five star all across the board!!

Great Family Vacation spot

Our family of 9 rented this for a week and we enjoyed every minute! The house had plenty of beds and space for our large family. We loved having a washer and dryer in the unit and AC. Both unique to other vacation rentals we've had in the past in the area. They provided plenty of towels, beach towels, hand soap and toilet paper. Some things to note: the silverware is limited (literally 10 forks). The kitchen is well supplied to cook most meals. There is PLENTY of salt and pepper in the unit, but no other spices. As I noted above, they provide hand towels and bath towels, but no wash cloths. The parking situation is tight. We struggled parking our 2021 Ford Explorer in the tandem space. We made it work, but it takes patience and time. Overall, we loved this place and we would rent it again in a heartbeat!

Family Beach vacation

Great location. Very family friendly. We liked this place but would recommend if you bring babies under 2.. bring a baby gate for the stairs. Property management company was great. We only had one slight issue and it was handled within a few hours. Only one down side… NO full length mirrors in the entire house! Very strange! Other than that we enjoyed our vacay:-)

Nice beach house

Overall a very nice beach house. Very clean. Needs more kitchen supplies such as silverware and larger cooking pots and pans. We had 9 people and there was not enough silverware for everyone to have a place setting. Cooking was a challenge due to the small size of the pots and pans Great location to shopping and restaurants. No games at the house so must bring your own. Plenty of bath towels and beach towels provided. Dish soap provided. Hand soap provided in all bathrooms greatly appreciated. Coffee pot and keurig provided. Our family enjoyed our stay and would stay again sometime in the future.

Clean, beach rental for family of 10

This property was as advertised with enough beds for a family of 10. Check in was easy and contactless. The rental was very clean and stocked as indicated. The kitchen had all appliances: blender, toaster, Keurig and coffee maker. There were minimal spices. All linens were clean and easily found — note there were no extras. Location was on the bike path within a block of Balboa Pier. Due to location, parking can be challenging. The tandem spots were tight so there was no garage storage space for beach toys, bikes etc. Overall, a great family rental with enough indoor space and storage. The walkability was great.
