Balboa Island vacation home
Excellent home for large groups. We had 9 adults staying for a long weekend and had plenty of room for everyone. The home is very comfortable and clean. You can't beat the location - 1 short block from the closest restaurant, and another block from the market. The ferry to Balboa is a short walk - super convenient. We would absolutely come back for another stay.

Amazing 60th Bday Family Weekend
First of all…. Balboa Island. Boooom. House was great. So many “hang out” nooks. Perfect for our family of 8 We had 3 month old and new mom loved cleanliness. Decor was cool and everything functional. Even did chef level dinner one night. Perfect.

Just perfect — quiet and relaxing
The house was absolutely perfect.— beautiful and clean. The area is quiet so we had a wonderful sleep yet it is only a horrible walk to all the adorable little shops on the island. We cooked breakfast most days and appreciated that we had everything needed (utensils, plastic wrap, ziplocs, spices, etc). The great room was lovely for hanging out but it was especially nice to have breakfast on the roof deck. Only thing to caution was that we used the washer and our “cold” wash was actually hot water (not sure why). Overall amazing stay!!

Beautiful home and spacious to say the least! Loved the location on Balboa and the front doors that swing wide open were wonderful Rented this unit for the rooftop sunsets and they did not disappoint - fantastic Had issues with the Wi-Fi not working and they sent a tech out immediately- he wasn’t able to fix the issue while we were there but the response time was great Will definitely book this unit next time we’re in town

Looks can be deceiving!
Very nice looking home that appears to have just been remodeled. Once inside everything looks good until…. There is only 4 bathrooms (1 for the lower bedroom and 3 for the second level bedrooms) and when the bedrooms are occupied there is no community bathroom available. Not good for the person in the fifth bedroom or anyone downstairs. Almost zero internet service in any room. Main level bedroom has no source for ventilation, so you either leave the bathroom and bedroom door open or leave patio doors open (hope it’s cool outside). Fifth bedroom guest will be waiting for a shower in the morning as well without any facilities in room or near. Building has thee levels with stairs and an elevator (which is unavailable for use by guests). We had two handicapped guest's that needed the elevator. All in all, not worth the money and kind of an inconvenience to use (especially after the tub leaked enough water to flood the entire bathroom).

Beautiful home in Balboa Island
Our family of 9 stayed for 5 nights in this modern and beautiful home in Balboa Island. We rated it 4 stars as there were a few issues. The bed on the third level is very thin and uncomfortable to use, it should be replaced with a better-quality bed. All propane tanks were empty so we could not use the outdoor area first night; however, after we placed a service call, they came and filled them, and then we were able to use them. It is a well-designed beautiful home.

Two of the “bedrooms” are barely usable
The bedroom with two bunk beds doesn’t even have a dresser let alone a closet, and have to go inside a bedroom up a flight of stairs to shower. Another bedroom has no access to a toilet or shower without going outside and down three flights of stairs. The refrigerator wasn’t on when we arrived, the dishwasher had to be hurt rigged closed to run and the dryer didn’t work. Three other bedrooms nice, great master. Super location.

Lots of space, great value.
We have rented many times in Balboa and were impressed with with the cleanliness, amenities and design of the house, plus a roof deck! . For 2 people, we had plenty of room to roam. This would be a great house for a large family getaway. Unfortunately, our short 4 day visit was "invaded" by an early version of the dreaded "June gloom", forcing a bit more TV. I know this is a FIRST WORLD problem, but, can rental houses please provide a systematic, coherent printed directions on "how to manage and use" the 3 remote controls necessary for TV viewing? This house had none. Great house, Taz at Vacasa is always a pro. Thank you. Regards,

Great location, odd layout
We had a great time on our trip. The kitchen is beautiful and the location is great for beach, ferry and walking to restaurants. Overall a great house but there are some things that aren’t ideal. The negatives are that the layout of the rooms is very odd. The rooftop bedroom has no access to a bathroom unless going into to someone’s bedroom on the second floor. There are lots of stairs to bedrooms (on second floor and third floor room you go down stairs to access) so just keep in mind for guests. Additionally, the downstairs bedroom has very small bunk beds without railings which isn’t ideal for anyone’s safety. The powder bathroom connects to that space so just a little odd. Lastly, although the house is pet friendly there is no enclosure or gated areas for pets. It’s open access from courtyard and front patio. The living room TV does not work. Vacasa was quick to have someone come out to try and help but it never worked. The other rooms TVs were fine. Wi-Fi downstairs is really bad so keep in mind if working during your trip.

Great location!
This house is perfectly located on the island with easy access to the ferry for crossing into Newport. The house has a good floor plan and very spacious common areas. The gentleman Taz that managed the place was very responsive and pro active with any requests we had, additionally the place was pretty clean upon arrival. The areas for improvement were maintenance items. For example there was some minor water damage on the ceiling near the skylight, large cracks in the master bedroom ceiling, deferred maintenance on the rooftop railings and railings off the master balcony, and numerous areas that could use some touch up paint. Water pressure and time for the hot water to get to the showers definitely could be improved as well. Overall this is a nice place and we would stay here again. I think Taz and his team are on the right track.

Great location and lots of outdoor soace
We have been renting houses on Balboa Island for over 25 years and this one was a very nice option. It is nicely appointed and in a great location. Just a few houses to the sand and a couple blocks to the ferry in one direction and Main Street in the other direction. There are several outdoor spaces to relax and read a book, sit by the fire pit, or enjoy the rooftop deck. The open concept living space is great for large families to hang out and enjoy. One suggestion we have is to upgrade the cable TV to include ESPN. We wanted to watch sports, but ESPN was not an option. Some additional pots and pans are needed as well for those who enjoy cooking. We love to cook dinners on vacation and it was difficult to cook for a large group with the pots and pans that were available. Otherwise, the house was fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. We will rent here again.

Kitchen was the most non equipped of any vacation house I have ever rented. No measuring cups or spoons. No grater. Not enough silverware for 10 people.

Maintenance and communication issues
Spacious home, great location, comfy beds, BUT... twelve people had 2 mini refrigerators for our 10-day stay! Repairman finally came mid-week but the big refrigerator was not fixed. Management should have replaced it before we arrived. Also, hot water was sporadic. Vacasa wouldn't believe me. Plumbers found the problem on our LAST DAY! We expect an apology and a refund for this inconvenience. Communication with Vacasa is poor because they insist on texting and a different clerk is on the other end each time, often out of state. They don't bother looking at previous conversations to see what's been discussed. Customers are not allowed to communicate directly with the local Vacasa representatives. A poor system! Very frustrating!

Beautiful house but serious maintenance issues
While this property boasted beauty and an ideal location, I have serious concerns to share. We endured a ten-hour journey, but our excitement waned when we were told on the morning of check-in that the water heater and refrigerator were both out of order. What's troubling is this wasn't an isolated incident; a review from another guest in June echoed the same issues, with Vacasa offering apologies but no lasting fixes. This suggests a recurring problem that property management might be neglecting. To address our refrigerator problem, Vacasa supplied two tiny "dorm-style" fridges for our week-long stay, totaling only 9 cubic feet—insufficient for a party of 10. Dining out became our only option, straining our budget. Upon arrival, I spent the first 2 hours trying to reach property management to resolve these issues, even offering to pay for a plumber to fix the water heater. My recommendation for anyone considering this property is to confirm in writing in advance that the refrigerator and water heater are working. Communication with property management appears lacking for urgent needs during your stay. Balboa Island offers a fantastic vacation potential, but caution is essential to match your expectations.

Beautiful, clean home
We had 11 of us stay at this house, and it was perfect. The location was excellent to walk to the little town, go to the Marina or take the ferry to another neighborhood island. Great space inside the house, including a blow up mattress that we used to not have someone on the pull out couch. Great cantina around the corner with excellent Mexican food and service. LOVED this place! Hope to come back again.

Great Family Home
Our family spent the week in this home and it was perfect. So many living spaces, no one felt like they were crowded. The rooftop space is an awesome getaway, and the location to the ferry was perfect. We'll be booking again in 2025!
