Beautiful Bay Vistas

We have stayed in several VRBO properties over the past 10 years. This by far was in our top three. The ease of check-in and security of a garage was especially appreciated. The layout of the condo afforded privacy and comfort for the two of us. Neighbors could be a bit noisy, but by 7 PM all was quiet. We highly recommend this residence for any family of not more than four who enjoy beach access, and beautiful Bay views.

Excellent location and wonderful accommodations

Beautiful view of the boat passing by right from the family room window. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen well stocked, short walk to the beach with waves and a small beach on the harbor side right in front of you. Really nice patio for dining. Love the patio heater as well. Can’t go wrong with this choice.

Clean comfortable place in a great location.

This was our 2nd time staying at this property with our dogs. Everything was perfect both times. The kitchen was well stocked, the bed was extremely comfortable. We had friends rent one of their other properties next door and it was perfect to be close (but not too close) to friends.

Beautiful views! Beautiful home!

The location of this beautiful home is ideal. Walked out the door to the bay where paddle boards were delivered by the rental shop one block away. Each morning we would walk less than 5 minutes to the beach and take advantage of the coffee shops and restaurants. The home is very clean, updated and has everything you need to enjoy a lovely vacation. Pam was very accommodating! We will be back for sure!

Casa de Balboa 227

Will definitely come back. Perfect location. The bay, the ocean, the pier, everything is close by but still away from the big crowds. The rental is clean and comfortable and well stocked. We ate most meals at the rental and there are plenty of dishes, utensils, pots/pans, etc. Rental also included essentials like salt/pepper, oil, dish soap, toilet paper, paper towels and small size shampoo & conditioner. Garage also had chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc. This is a great rental!!!

Super Clean, Tastefully Decorated and Well Appointed

I have never stayed at a short-term rental that was as clean and well maintained as this one. Upon entering, I had a sense that a German grandmother had spent a week cleaning the condo. It was simply but tastefully decorated more like a nice hotel rather than a vacation home. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and cooking utensils and enough barware and dishes to entertain for a modest gathering. The water pressure was the best I have ever experienced in drought conscious Southern California. I will definitely consider coming back next time I visit family. Thank you for the great experience.

Peaceful and Loved It

This was perfect for me. Sadly my other family members could not attend but that's not on this property. Had a little noise from upstairs but nothing that was irritating me (footfalls, sound barrier not the greatest), but this property with the two porches and the view was perfect and peaceful. Next time, I'd like to NOT have to work and just enjoy and regroup. Kitchen had everything really, and although we didn't utilize the two bedrooms (as my other family members couldn't come), they were spacious and clean. I left earlier but again not on the property. Communication was quick and easy and I'd go back - absolutely! Thank you :)

Not what I was expecting

Given the extensive pre-rental contract & multiple emails stressing responsible use of the property, I was not expecting the unit to be in the condition we found. Nails were left in walls without decor, a toothbrush holder was on the bathroom floor to keep the door open, & a trash bag of old clothes was spilling onto the bedroom closet floor, leaving an unexpectedly shabby impression for the property. Also unknowable from the photos is the location of the public beach restroom immediately across the street. The presence of people loitering near the facility & scavenging thru the trash didn't bode well for using the patio and the fire pit. Privacy was also an issue, due to the choice of Roman shades on the front & rear windows. A different style of window treatment would have allowed renters to sit in the main room & not feel like one is on display if the shades are open.

Immaculate property, good location

This was a beautiful apartment with absolutely immaculate housekeeping and fantastic bedding and towels for comfort and luxury. The kitchen appliances and dishes were also really nice and new. I felt like I was staying in a medium to high end hotel suite, on those counts. It does have some older beach chairs and things you can use in the garage so that was really handy. The communication is a lot - many lengthy emails, but I’d rather have that than not enough. The location is great in that it’s three very short blocks to the ocean side and the beach is enormous and clean. The bay side is right out the front door, which brings me to the only flaw with this property, if it’s even something that bothers you. Despite it being at the end of a road, this street is excessively busy. It’s a staging area for the rental kayak shop around the corner, and for people coming to use the calmer bay water for paddleboarding etc. There is a tiny dock at the end of the road and a public bathroom across the street. Altogether, this setup equals a LOT of constant traffic and noise from city vehicles maintaining the dock and bathroom to people parking and unparking and unloading vehicles and turning around and backing up, to the guy hauling the kayaks from the rental shop up and down the street. If you’re looking for something quiet, this isn’t the place. If you really don’t mind all that activity, then it won’t be a problem at all! Given all that, I would totally stay here again.
