We enjoyed the views of the bay, admired the Christmas lights, walking distance to Marine Ave. for retail therapy and people watching!
We had fun paddle boarding, eating at Basilic and Molo. Fun watching the surfers and body surfers at the Wedge.
We hope to return!
We hope to return soon!

After living in Orange County for over 50 years, we moved mom to be closer to us in Oregon. This was a trip to say goodbye to friends and family as well as experience Balboa Island from an insiders point of view! This single level, beautiful house did not disappoint!!!!

Idyllic Island Home
The Robinsons
★★★★★
This house was perfectly situated on little Balboa island. It was exceptionally clean and decorated. We were able to fit two cars in the garage so no parking issues. Loved walking out the front door for a walk or a swim/paddle. We still stay here again.

What a gem. This house is perfectly situated on little Balboa island. It was exceptionally clean (my Dad is an infectious disease doctor so that says a lot!) and decorated. We were able to fit two cars in the garage so no parking issues. Loved walking out the front door for a walk or a swim/paddle. It’s incredibly serene and peaceful, we were so happy with everything. The host was very proactive at communicating and making sure we had a good stay. We still stay here again.
Reply: Hannah, thank you so much for your glowing review! We are so pleased to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the surrounding amenities! We can't wait to welcome you back in the future!

Having grown up going to Balboa Island, I’m so glad my kids love it as much as I do! This house was in a great location, was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for us all!

Delightful
Mrs. J.F.
★★★★★
What a lovely week we had! This home is comfortable and perfectly located, looking out on the bay. The patio has comfortable furniture. The small island is bliss! We walked everywhere including for all our meals. The house is very clean, quiet and charming. The garage is a bonus too!
*Suggestions: All Bathroom towels need replacing. They are small, worn out and too thin to be absorbent. Also, please have housekeeping make sure all the flatware and all the knives in the knife block are clean before putting them away. Overall, the rental was BLISS and we look forward to returning soon.

Loved this little house!

★★★★★
It was comfortable and quiet. We loved sitting on the patio and watching all of the activities going on. Walking distance for everything. 2 very minor issues that were corrected very quickly. I would suggest some kind of window covering for the living room. Not any privacy in the living room. We have stayed on the main Balboa Island several times. This was the first time in Little Island and we loved it. Very kind and caring neighbors. We would love to come and stay again!

Absolutely wonderful waterfront home

Thank you for a peaceful and beautiful stay. I was recovering from surgery on this water in this gorgeous home.
Appreciate the cleanliness and view! We will be back again! My only feedback is you need some plastic glass wear and plates for outdoor!
Thank you :)
