Imagine a delightful Balboa Island family vacation home that is the perfect combination of vintage Balboa Island charm with all the comforts of modern updates—in a reasonable price range too!
Within walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, and all the fun and happenings on Balboa Island, this is an ideal location for your vacation with family and friends.
A charming, inviting brick patio with Mediterranean-style landscaping, a dining table, and a barbecue welcomes you to this spacious 2,600-square-foot home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Original knotty pine paneling in the living room and two downstairs bedrooms gives this beach cottage its warm, cozy feeling.
The expansive living room features high vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, ceiling fan, and a large flat-screen TV mounted above the fireplace, creating the perfect gathering space for family and friends.
The living room opens to a beautifully remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, a chef's range, and a French-door refrigerator. A dining area sits between the kitchen and living room, creating one great room where everyone can be together.
An added bonus is the sunroom, where you can relax with a book before heading upstairs to the newly remodeled second level. The spacious primary suite features a king bed, ensuite bathroom, flat-screen TV, ceiling fan, and plenty of room to relax.
Adjacent to the primary suite is a loft-style sleeping area with another king bed, a beautifully updated bathroom with a rain shower and marble tile, a large flat-screen TV, and a comfortable sitting area.
Two additional bedrooms are located downstairs—one with a double bed and one with two twin beds. A fully upgraded downstairs bathroom features beautiful honey onyx tile. All bedrooms and bathrooms are stocked with luxurious linens for your comfort.
Additional amenities include complimentary WiFi, central heating, a two-car garage, and four cruiser bikes for guests to enjoy during their stay.

Great location.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
We loved this house and location. The house had plenty of space for our family.
It was great to have enough dishes and pans for cooking.
Balboa island is adorable with plenty to do. We liked that we could ride the ferry to the beach.

6 / 10Average·May 2024
We loved the location so much, but were very disappointed at the shape the house was in. There were several cockroaches in the kitchen which was disgusting, they were all over my kids lunchboxes. There were also moths and other bugs upstairs. Vacasa was a total pain when I tried to do something about the bugs, I called in and the rep told me to wait at the house as someone would come by to inspect in an hour, this was at 10 am. I waited at home all day wasting a whole day of our vacation and no one ever came. I messaged in the app that night and the rep was rude, claiming no one would come by with such short notice. They said they would make a report and a local
Agent would get back to me soon. I called in a few days later and they just said a report was made and to keep waiting. I messaged in the app again but same situation. I had sent in photos and they were totally unresponsive. Finally 5 days later a local agent came out and helped address it.
Also the upstairs toilet was running and wasting gallons of water, I called in and messaged two local agents a total of 4 times and neither responded all day so my husband fixed it that night.
The door to the garage automatically locks so I got locked in the garage 6 times. Thankfully my toddler was awake inside and I could instruct him on how to let me in each time, but it took a while and was scary for both of us.
The electrical outlets would randomly short out, turning off sound machines waking my son up.
