We were in the area for a regatta and this place was adorable, perfectly located and so easy to be in - the treats/snacks were such a great touch. We are thinking about coming back soon just so we can stay here again. Thank you to Pete for making it so magical.

As always, visiting Balboa Island and little Island, is like going back in time to a sweeter and friendlier time.
Having grown up here, it is always comforting to be reminded, that places like this still exist and thrive.

We came to relax after a busy vacation, and to enjoy the boat light parade, great location. If you don't mind close neighbors and hard to find parking (most likely just this time of year) this is the great place. It is supplied with almost everything you can think of.

We recently rented the apartment for family coming to town for Thanksgiving holiday. The rental exceeded everyone’s expectations as a perfect location and perfectly well appointed cozy home. Look forward to reserving again over the Christmas holidays. The host Peter goes above and beyond!

My husband and I went to celebrate his 60th Birthday. Peter was amazing from start to finish! He made sure we were able to get in with no issues. He set up a super cute basket with treats and a birthday card and champagne and cheese in the fridge. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in and Balboa Island is amazing! Peter suggested a few restaurants for my husbands birthday dinner and it was perfect! Would definitely stay here again!

Peter was an exceptional host. This place was exactly how he described it. Great place to stay and enjoy the island. We were pleased to find the fridge stocked with goodies! But, it was Peter’s quick and friendly responses prior to our stay that sold us on this host and property.

My husband and I booked The Blue Door Bungalo during a family reunion for extra space. It exceeded our expectations in every way. We have never stayed in a vrbo before and was concerned about the check-in process, communication, and overall stay. Peter was proactive and organized, answering all of my questions before I could even ask them. My husband is very tall and I was concerned that the bungalow might be too tight but it was perfect for us and extremely comfortable. The bungalow is charming and we felt right at home. I was pleased to see that our home away from home was immaculate. Additionally, Peter's hospitality was impressive. We had the perfect weekend get-away and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

My new hubby and I chose to spend the last leg of our Honeymoon adventure here, and really enjoyed our time. Pete was great with communication and even provided a list of recommendations for our visit at Balboa Island. I describe myself as an adventurous homebody, thus having a cozy place to rest my head at the end of a day of exploring is super important, and we felt right we home here.

Pete is such a wonderful host and very responsive. The place is very clean, inviting cozy and everything are well organized in small space. Easy to park on the street and so quick, 5 mins walk to go to many restaurants, grocery store or get good coffee & pastries. You will relax to watch sunrise or sunset at ocean in 1/2 block walk. Highly recommended to stay the blue door bungalow if you are solo traveler to relax your mind in this busy world.

This is an adorable, classic Balboa Island apartment. It is immaculate, comfortable and was the perfect spot for me to revisit the area where I grew up. The blue and white 'beachy' theme is carried throughout and there are quality sheets and plenty towels. I was met with delicious wine, coffee and snacks which were a welcome surprise. I loved everything about my stay. I have rented large and small rentals in many locations and a few countries. Pete is by far my most favorite host. He made checking in easy with photos and instructions. He also checked in with me to see if I had everything I needed at the apartment or if I needed any local tips. He helped to make me feel part of the neighborhood. Thank you so much!

The apartment was super cute and comfortable for our beach getaway. It was easy to find and there was plenty of street parking, even for summer. It was well stocked with essentials and more. You will love the location to main street or the ferry to the peninsula, The "welcome treats" were a fun surprise. 10 out of 10!
5.0
As mentioned in prior reviews this spot is ideal for a single guest and may work for two people as the bedroom layout is more conducive to one guest. The place is well laid out and the owner was excellent in his preparedness, concern and responsiveness. The place does lack AC but the fans worked fine. Well worth the cost.

Looked for a a little weekend getaway. This place is great if you plan on staying local. We walked everywhere since parking can be tricky. It get’s crowded but it’s a nice place to visit. Quick ride on the ferry and you’re at the beach.
The owners were very responsive and helpful with tips on what to do in area. They also put out some snacks and drinks for us which was awesome! Recommend
