BALBOA ISLAND Retreat 3Bed 2Bath [Downstairs]

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time celebrating the new year on Balboa Island. The home is in a perfect location, set back from the main Balboa Island street which helps keep traffic and parking manageable while still in walking distance to everything.The home itself is very well appointed and the owner has thought of everything from lighting to toiletries. We VRBO a lot and haven't seen many little touches that this home includes. It was also VERY clean. The home is small and old, as are most rentals on the Island.There were plenty of towels and the kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were super comfortable too (even the couch). If I was forced to complain about anything, maybe the pillows could be replaced. But I am confident that if we would have asked, they would have sent some over. Skip was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner while we were there.A note about Balboa Island. This is a quaint beach location that might not be suitable for everyone. The homes are extremely close together (not a lot of privacy) and traffic and parking can be difficult (this home does have a wonderful garage with new washer and dryer for your use). Which means that you hear and see the neighbors regularly, and you share the streets with everyone. The neighbors are usually wonderful and we are familiar with the area so we knew what to expect. We loved staying in the pink house and are planning to stay again.

Beautiful neighborhood, steps to the bay and Marina. Very quiet and relaxing Community.Property was very well kept and clean, had everything we needed. The front patio area was a very nice area to barbecue and to relax around the fire pit. my family and I had a great time.

Skip was an excellent host and we recommend tne property.

Great property. Loved our stay

We stay at alot of VBRO Rentals, this was by far the best. The location was amazing, the house was so fun. The process and comunication were top knotch. We even got to meet the owner eho eas also a great guy. They had everything wr needed for a great beach vacation.

Excellent location on Balboa. Very clean and comfortable with many extras. Easy check in and out. Great communication with the host.

If you are looking to stay at Balboa, this place is a gem. The property is just as advertised and is in an excellent location. The host does a great job with communication and has does a great job with the details. Little things like having sunscreen, a basket full of chargers, beach toys, plenty of towels, etc. I want to stay here again for sure. It was a treat!

We loved our stay in the pink house. Skip was responsive and extremely helpful. The house included thoughtful touches, comfortable furnishings and friendly neighbors. We’ve been coming to Balboa Island for years and this was our favorite trip. I highly recommend the Pink house. It’s close to the ferry and our favorite swimming beach. Skip and Jeff seemed invested in our having a relaxing, fun vacation. If I could give more stars, I would.

We had a wonderful stay at this super cute place. We loved using the paddle boards and the accessibility to the water. The upstairs residents were so helpful and welcoming. We had great communication with the owner and property manager. It was the perfect fit for our family and we’d love to come back again.

The 3 bdrm was very clean and was fully equipped with kitchen utensils, extra pillows, sheets, blankets. Very quite area, excellent location. Could walk everywhere, no need for a car. Loved it.
