Great location, clean place, amazing weather. We really appreciate the kind and responsive customer service, as well. This place had everything we needed for our family of five. We rented bikes, walked on the boardwalk, and had a bonfire right out in front of the rental on the beach.

Beautiful home with a spectacular view of the beach and the Laguna Hills. Upstairs unit has a balcony that provides a wonderful view of the Balboa pier and up and down the beach. It's spectacular. Inside has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Location is ideal: 5 min walk to Balboa pier, 10 min walk to Balboa Village. Absolutely wonderful location for a beach vacation. Highly recommended.

Amazing location! Lots of space to spread out. Good communication with host. Even though the listing said no laundry detergent provided they were nice enough to provide a few when I requested it.This would be an even better place to stay with some fairly minor changes. Upgrade from single ply toilet paper, fix the living room recessed lighting (the switch was damaged and wouldn’t work), use white towels instead of blue so guests feel confident in the cleanliness, provide floor fans (there was one in the closet that didn’t work), provide laundry detergent and at least a couple of coffee pods for first morning.

We had a wonderful week at this beachfront property and couldn't have asked for a more relaxing time. The views were wonderful - we loved looking out at the beach and watching the sunsets!Being on the second floor was a huge plus for us; it was quieter and we felt very safe throughout our stay. One thing we particularly appreciated was the privacy - despite being near the boardwalk, no one could look into the property, which made it feel like our own private sanctuary. We truly enjoyed our time at this property and would return.

Nice comfortable place on the beach. Upper terrace is small. Better quality toilet paper and paper towels would be nice. No laundry detergent. Close to pier and parking area so it’s a bit busy. Not a big deal though.

Incredible location

This is a great place to stay. The home was very clean and nice and perfect location. The garage is a nice bonus but we had a sports car and the approach is so steep the sports car would rub the undercarriage pretty bad.

This was our second time in this house and it was wonderful. We love walking to the nearby restaurants and convenient store. It was great to be able to go out on the stand for a run or roller blade. The convenient large parking lot very nearby made it easy for us to have three cars. Communication with the property manager during our stay was immediate and so friendly and helpful. They sent an electrician to come change a burnt out lightbulb same day..and brought a bag of ice when our icemaker wasn't working. We had a large family staying downstairs but the noise didn't bother us and it was no problem walking through their patio to get to the strand. Overall a great trip!

Good unobstructed ocean view. Unfortunately noisy mornings because of machinery working on beach side. Interior was decent. Minimalistic beach decor. Some walls with preexisting scuffs/dents markings. Beds could definitely be better, very squeaky with anyone sitting on them or any slight movement. Also, 30 steps to get to main house floor and other multiple stairs to get in between rooms in house. We had elderly parents so this was difficult on them. Lastly, the upstairs truly has tiny outdoor patio only for about 3 persons. Overall good stay, but lacking in comfort while sleeping.

Great beachfront property

Excellent location, easy walking distance to Balboa activities. Kids loved being so close to the sand. Loved eating breakfast on the balcony looking out toward the ocean! Bunk beds were great for the kids. Definitely plan on bringing minor kitchen staples like ziplock bags if plan to cook and you want to store any leftovers.

We really appreciated this unit for being so spacious, clean and light-filled. It’s wonderful to be right on the beach, yet in the upstairs unit to have a bit more privacy from the beach. This unit of very spacious and has a lovely kitchen. Thank you to the property managers!

Wonderful walkable property with a view

Well-appointed and designed upper floor of a waterfront home. The Pacific is a long way away, but you are right on a pedestrian path and the beach with bonfires at night. Easy walking to restaurants and shops. Updated and clean with great management company. Only issue was instructions for unit in a binder they provide needs updating for proper check out instructions and trash day.

Great location, nearly perfect

Property is very clean. Nice garage. Short walk to Balboa Pier, shops and restaurants. It does describe it is a second store unit and each access you walk through the lower units patio but even with this description there was still some strain that the tenant on the lower floor didn't want us walking through the patio so it defeats the purpose of being on the beach. We didn't let it bother us but it is a little odd probably should separate a walking path for the upper level
