Great location,* well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, questionable quality linens, uncomfortable seating in LR. Very nice to have garage, though small.*Beautiful view of bay, boats, and overall area. Convenient walk to shopping area, and for exercise; close to local friends and attractions like surfing, Corona Del Mar, Crystal Cove, etc. Close enough drive to Pasadena, Altadena, etc.

Beautiful

Beautiful, on-the-water view. Attractive, comfortable house with a great front patio, very well stocked. Garage straight into the house and laundry right inside the house a bonus for Balboa Island. A long mini-van will fit fine, parking it close to the front wall of the garage. Excellent property managers. "Upstairs neighbors" were not a problem. They are in their own completely separate unit above the garage and above the back of our unit. We never saw them, and you are NOT sharing the house. The garage was all ours. A few blocks to walk to Marine Ave, where the restaurants and shops are on the island. We hope we will be able to secure this unit when we return to Balboa because we got spoiled with this one!

Spring Break in Balboa

We had the best time relaxing at this property. It was perfectly clean and a great setup to enjoy time with family. Our kids loved playing on the sand and we were happy to sit in the sun on the patio watching them. We would definitely visit again.

Bayfront Sendoff

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!!!!

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!

Great location.........

We have been renting beach houses for a number of years while visiting friends and family in NB. I think we have found our "go to" house on Little Balboa. The house is incredibly clean and well appointed with ample room for 3 adults. The design of the 2 pairs of bi-fold glass sliders allows the living room area to literally be part of the front patio. Fabulous! Combine the wonderful weather, walks to town (plus garage parking!) and the down-low vibe of East Bayfront, all made for a very memorable week. The only slight negative is the "no-use dock" out front, it would have been handy when renting the Duffy. Regardless, great property and agency!
