The owner/manager was extremely gracious in working out a last minute, unconventional change with us. They were extremely responsive in communication! I can’t thank them enough!

We loved this location... our teenage sons went across the street to play basketball several times a day! Perfect spot with a small market and restaurant steps away, or we took the stroll to the main shops. Really enjoyed our stay... thank you!

I loved the area! It took a bit of getting used to but, after I did I really enjoyed it! The house wasn’t too bad! We wanted to stay another couple night’s and we contacted the owner and never responded until we got to Vegas two days later! But other than that everything was as great

The location of this place is great. However, the roof leaked making the tile floor dangerous, cracked dishes were present and we had items taken from the garage, without leaving it unlocked, and with poor assistance from the host. I'll stay on Balboa again, but not here.

This house is in a great location. It’s NOT ocean view but it is just a quick little walk to the ferry and a nice walkway along the harbor. To get beach access you cross the ferry and it’s just a couple blocks. Overall we loved the location. There were a few things that the house needed , there were either no batteries in the tv remotes or they were dead. The downstairs bathroom is extremely tiny and there was no toilet paper holder, & no counter whatsoever. Upstairs was decent. Although on our way to the house we got a message that we were unable to use one of the upstairs showers which was inconvenient traveling with a large family. Also the parking is difficult, I was under the impression there was a 2 car garage but also last minute we were informed that we had to share the garage with another tenant. Don’t bring a truck, it will not fit. The parking along the street is packed and hard to find parking. The house was decently clean but it’s nothing fancy if that’s what your used to. Maybe check before booking that all the house amenities are in working condition, showers, tv’s etc.
