Enjoyed our stay

Comfortable property, enjoyed our stay. Pros: Great location on Balboa Island, very short walk to Marine Ave and its shops and eateries. Fun to watch boats in the channel. Balboa Island is a treat. Property Manager Steve is very easy to deal with. Cons: Fees include $125 linen rental charge. They drop off linens and towels, it's up to the renter to put the sheets on the beds and pillow cases on the pillows. The noise from jets leaving John Wayne airport is pretty loud beginning at 7 a.m. Assume it would be the same anywhere in the vicinity. There is a small one car garage, and while parking a mid-size car was okay, we would have been reluctant to try parking a full size car in there. Street parking for visitors is difficult to find at times. Property needs a new roof. A portion of the roof and the skylight are covered with visqueen/tarp. We had some stiff winds and hard rain but there were no issues.
