    Cute one bedroom! Obstructed bay view from front row houses, but nice rooftop patio area. Nice breeze with windows open! Thanks for the relaxing stay!

    Welcoming, clean, great communication, walkable location. We had to remove one star due to poor bed quality (memory foam topper on top of a foam bed). It was too small and uncomfortable for two :( Otherwise, it a great lodging experience and friendly, helpful staff.

    Management company was great. The unit was outdated. The microwave sits on a crate, the sheets do not fit because of the mattress pad which was way too soft and very uncomfortable. The shower head needs to be replaced. It was corroded and the water hardly trickled out. It would have been easier to just fill a bucket and pour it over us than the few water drops streaming out. I was disappointed the Dutch door was permanently locked where it couldn’t be opened. The bath towels were thin and low quality. I think the management company did the best they could with the unit as is. This place did not meet our expectations.

    easy rental, nice place with the basics but everything was as expected clean and organized. it was decently hot without A/C so just keep the windows down and thankfully they had a fan we could point directly at us at night

    Having spent time on Balboa Island as a child, it was fun to spend a few days revisiting the island. The price, location and overall experience were good. If you’re looking for a small, quiet apartment with views looking east then I recommend this location.
