Despite being greeted by cockroaches the place overall was very pleasant. Nice view of the marina and friendly host. Parking is a challenge but we managed. I would stay here again.

It's important to remember that there are 2 separate living areas that require outside stairs to join the bigger area. Upstairs is where the full house with a bunk bed for 3 small kids and a second bedroom with a queen size bed. The studio on the floor/garage level is quaint with a very small kitchen and tiny bathroom. Still if you are traveling with two separate families it's nice to have a separate (Studio) area to escape to. It was great to have a garage.

Like some of the ratings, the location and the property management are great, however the place is not that nice. When we first arrive, the studio unit would not open. We called the management company and they did what they could. Eventually after 2 hours, the handyman arrived and had to pick the lock leading to the garage. We were not able to lock the main door and kept the unit unlocked.The place was disappointing to say the least. The lighting was poor in both units, but especially the studio. The bathrooms were cramped. We showered in the dark and brushed our teeth in the kitchenette sink. The heater did not work so we had a small space heater that was not warm. The cabinets in all units needed to be fixed. Needlessly to say, we did not have best accommodations. I would suggest staying at a different place.

Family Vacation
We came for our daughters wedding with 4 children under 5 and 6 adults. The space fit us all perfect and was in an ideal location for us. The bathrooms need a little update and the shower upstairs needed the doors to be fixed, but other than that, it was a great place for a great price!

Reviewer Comments:
The layout of the property, two separate living areas that have no inside connection was a problem. Also, who doesn’t have a dishwasher in 2021? Great location but would never rent this property again. So cramped, we left a day early.

The location was amazing. Balboa Island is so cute! The house itself is nice enough. It’s great that it has a garage because parking gets tricky on the street on more popular dates. It has a small AC unit that keeps the kitchen area cool. You can’t use it if you open the windows, though so we found it was cooler to just leave the windows open. I was grateful for a washer and dryer. The house is pretty old. So certain areas like the bathroom really show its age. Some of the floor tiles are cracked. Or they don’t match. I realize the salty air is hard on paint and things like that, but it really could use some updating more than just a new coat of paint. I feel like some of the pictures online don’t really reflect its age and wear. The lower bathroom shower is super tiny. The towel situation is rough. You get a towel “ration”. And the extra towels you get come in like a plastic wrap roll. It reminded me of what they give inmates in movies when they get checked in to jail. And the towels aren’t soft and fluffy. They are thin and scratchy. We couldn’t find a hose bib which would have been useful especially since they don’t want sand in the house/shower. The igniter on the grill doesn’t work so my husband used the lighter in the kitchen drawer. At one point the lock battery died but the property manager was responsive and very helpful. All in all we had a nice stay!

Reviewer Comments:
We were pretty underwhelmed with the quality of this unit. There was a cleaning fee essentially equal to one nights stay; however we arrived to find a unit not very clean. Virtually ever kitchen item was visibly dirty and needed to be cleaned before use. There was hair on the cabinets and counter of the bathroom. When we stripped the beds at the end of the stay (a rule we learned of after booking). The mattress covers were covered in hair and dirt. Disgusting. The sheets and towels also were not as described. They were described as hotel quality, but were low grade and scratchy. The towels had stains and shed. Also, we learned shortly before the stay that they provided only one bath towel per person. Not a deal breaker except that some of the towels were stained and thus unusable. The kitchen also was not well equipped and lacked basic tools like a can opener and a whisk. Although the location was excellent, we would not recommend based on the lack of cleanliness.

This property was as amazing as the photos look! The host provided regular and clear communication via text, email, and the Hospitality app. The beds were comfortable, all amenities were in good working order, the property was very clean and well maintained. This property fit our needs perfectly, our 5 day stay was far too short and we are looking so forward to returning soon.
