My family and I stayed in the home over Spring break. The house was clean and had plenty of space for the six of us. The location was close to the ferry, easy for my teenage kids to take over to the fun zone.
Great location and home. We really enjoyed our stay very much. We made a Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen (we did cheat and buy an already cooked turkey from Gelsons) but there was a big enough table and space to do it all. We would love to return.
Great location, secure garage parking for one vehicle, overall comfortable home. Some signs of wear and tear (loose kitchen cabinet door hinge, clunky freezer door, worn floor mat), but everything was functional. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom, along with a common bathroom which was very convenient.

House is Great- Vacasa Service Not Great
The house was very special. Great location and feels like a real home vs. vacation rental. The rooms are great size, bathrooms and kitchen are updated and a great overall floor plan. There was an issue with the home (which happens) and it took me WAY TOO LONG to get in touch with someone that could help me.The Vacasa customer service process is really bad. If I had access to the local team or owner right away it would have saved me hours.

Balboa house
Alex, property manager was awesome. He quickly responded and tried to make things right. The house was not cleaned properly. Disgusting! Dirty rugs…TVs didn’t work..bathroom floors had someone’s else’s curly hairs. Makes me ill just to think about it. Alex did not charge us the cleaning fee which was nice. Again, no complaints about the property manager. He was very nice. Someone just needs to be a better host. Change the cleaning crew. AWFUL
We stayed at this property with family October 2021. This time was three girlfriends. Property is in a great location. It is comfortable and clean. There were a couple of things that were broken or damaged upon check in. There was a broken stemless wine glass on the shelf with the other wine glasses. And the two bottom drawers of the refrigerator were not usable because the guides were missing (actually were in the adjacent cabinet) and when I initially opened the fridge they almost fell out and would have landed on the floor. By the looks of the drawers, they might have already done that. My friend that stayed in the bunk room said the mattress needs to be replaced and there was significant water damage along the baseboard in the shower area.
I grew up in Newport in the 60’s to the 80’s and love to visit and will return to Balboa Island.
Such a great location for families! Closes to the town and to the bay!

40th Anniversary trip with the kids
Very nice property. Decorated and updated very nicely. Location is very convenient . Garage Parking spot a Huge plus especially during July 4th week! We would recommend this property.
EXCELLENT location!! Our family thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of the island. The garage is a nice option however we parked on the street in front of the house 90% of the time. The house does not have air condition (I failed to notice that when I booked) BUT, leaving the windows open, produced a comfortable climate. Love all the bathrooms. Would stay here again 100%!!
The house is very nice and was suitable for our needs. We did have some issues which were passed on to the host and hopefully will be fixed for future use. Nothing major, but the washing machine isn't great and the last day, we had a sewer smell and water backing in the upstairs bath. You can't beat the location. I was personally very comfortable in the downstairs bedroom,
I am used to dealing direct with property owners as opposed to management companies so the process was a bit different. We didn’t have trash instructions or a check-out process. We found the trash cans but couldn’t dump out trash as the cans were already full. There were just a few odds and ends that were different. Overall the property was amazing, no issues with parking and besides staining on carpets and furniture, it was very clean. We would definitely return.
