Family beach vacation
There were many things delightful about this rental … location, beachfront, complete kitchen, large dining table for whole family, flawless check-in, everything worked etc.The negatives were plates in cabinet were dirty, the ice trays were filled with soap and then water (!), previous tenants hair on a bed, garbage left under the couch, no gate to close the little backyard so preschoolers were contained. Overall a good visit just several things which would’ve made it a great visit.

Beautiful property and location
Wonderful location and beautiful full wall windows to enjoy the view. Sad we couldn’t see the ocean from the home but with how high the tide comes in I see why they need to have the sand so high.

Great retreat!
This house was in a fabulous location. Walking out the back door onto the beach, and a short walk up the boardwalk to get coffee, made this trip a true California experience. The bedrooms were comfortable and the great room gave us a gathering space for everyone to relax. Easy checkin and communication. Thank you!

Close to Be Perfect with Room for Improvement
This rental is in a prime location on the Balboa peninsula boardwalk. With beach in front, it was fun to watch kids play in the sand as everyone biked, skated, jogged, or walked on by. The only disappointment was not being able to see the water/waves from the patio (perhaps the 2nd or 3rd floor had a better view). The rental was spacious for our five guests but 8 would be tight. The bed in the room with the en-suite was too small for two adults and the living room furniture barely fit five comfortably. The kitchen and dining space were appropriately equipped and functional. Being on the bottom floor we did have some noise from the renters above that is to be expected. We used the portable fans provided in every room to help drown out the noise of the rugrats running upstairs. We were there on a hot day (85+ degrees at the beach) and the lack of AC was not a problem. Open the sliders to let in the beach breeze and/or turn on the fans and the temp was just right. I liked having two parking spaces (1 garage, 1 driveway) although with our Yukon it was a tight fit for both.
Overall, a great place to stay comfortably for a group of 6 or 7. We would definitely come back.

Wifi is not working well. Terrible noise issues in upper level
Truly did not sleep for 4 nights due to horrible noise upstairs!!
It was debilitating. You should notify those that lease the lower level that the noise is Profound .

Family Fun
We really enjoyed our stay. The weather was beautiful and the house was perfect for our family. Our grandsons loved having the sand right outside the patio. Property Managers were very prompt when we contacted them. Thanks again

Right on the beach
My family had a great stay at this beach front property. There was plenty of room and the house was very nice. We had a perfect view of the ocean. There was some noise from the other tenants upstairs, but I expected that because it’s three stories and we were on the first floor.
Everything we needed was there and everything is walking distance. The only complaint is that the pillows are old and tired and I think the blankets and mattress pads needed to be laundered, but the linen was clean. I usually bring my own pillow, but I forgot it on this trip.
My family and I have done three beach trips using VRBO and we have always had a fantastic time.
