We enjoyed our stay here immensely. The location and view are perfect. Two of the bedrooms are nearly identical which meant it was easy to be two couples. Thanks for a wonderful stay! We hope to be back soon.
This rental was stunning! Beautifully appointed and sparklingly clean. The view was gorgeous and the location outstanding❤️

Excellent location, both on the water and near the main street. Well adorned, clean, stocked. I would return.
The house was the perfect size for my family, and the location can't be beat. Beachfront and 3 houses down from Marine Ave. Can't wait for next summer!
My Wife, Daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our time staying at this property! The place was as expected from the photos, no issues at all. The location and neighbors were wonderful. We are planning to come back next year!

We had a great time here & planned to come back for sure.
We have stayed here before and will stay here again. The property is perfectly located on Balboa's South Bay and right next to Marine where all the shops and restaurants are. The entire place has been very nicely remodeled and is beautiful and clean. The beds are very comfortable and it has all the amenities you need. We love sitting on the patio and watching the boats. It was a perfect stay.
From booking to welcome and communication, this place was as advertised. Beautiful location on Balboa Island waterfront, immaculate and stylish. A new favorite!
This unit is clean, well stocked, and in a perfect location. Keep vacation rentals like this around. Please be respectful of all rules as that is what makes this place fabulous!!

The unit was well located, which was very important to me since I am handicapped. We could just zip into town in two minutes so it was easy to go out to dinner and shop, etc..The management staff was outstanding. I had a few issues with the house while I was there and they were taken care of very quickly.I would definitely recommend this property to a friend.

We came back for our second visit to this property (and our third to a Samd and Surf property). We had another lovely trip. The patio of this home is so delightful and the home is perfectly appointed for a beach vacation. Highly recommend both this home and Sand and Surf.
