Location is amazing and size of the home incredible. Tons of space to spread out, plenty of parking and great bedroom layouts. The home is a bit dated and could definitely use some new cushions on the patio and a few upgrades, but overall great stay! Management company was extremely helpful, responsive, and amazing to work with.

Great family house!

This is probably one of the most well stocked and appointed vacation rentals I’ve stayed in. The kitchen has everything you will need to cook and feed a large family, the bathrooms all were stocked with soap and shampoo and plenty of toilet paper, the bedrooms are comfortable, plenty of extra pillows and blankets, there is a bathroom for every bedroom. And the back patio between the house, and the garage is a great spot to play spikes, and beach, chairs, and things you don’t want to leave on the front patio. There is parking for five vehicles, which is also unusual in this location, and it is far enough away from all the beach crowds, but still close to the Piers and the fun zone. We had a great day, and I would highly recommend it.

Can’t ask for a better location. Right on the beach with the park next door too for games etc. Pretty quiet as you’re down away from the shops. Parking was convenient other than garbage day. The house sleeps a lot of people however the kitchen is very small for the amount of people. The house is old and outdated. It could really use a deep clean especially on the main floor. A few minor updates would go a long way with bathrooms/fixtures etc. We had a son in a wheelchair and although we made it work it was very tricky and tight spaces. Hard to get him in and out and the main floor has lots of thresholds etc. I would not recommend for someone looking for accessibility. The patio is great to sit on and watch the sunset and people, just be prepared to clean things off. Overall our group of 16 had a great experience and loved the location. Wish it was a little cleaner and a few updates. Very responsive communication. The outdated house is reflected in the price for the size and location.

Family Friendly Beach House

The beach house is situated right across from the sand and within a short walk to the Balboa pier shopping area. There is a play area close by too for smaller children. Our group consisted of 20 family members ranging in ages from 4 months to 74 and we all had comfortable accommodations., and a nice plus was that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped, though small. The garage has barely six feet of clearance, so just small cars can fit . All in all, I would stay there again, it’s a lovely rental and well maintained.

There were so many good things about our stay. There were a few issues.Upstairs 3rd floor drywall was a disaster and bugs were in this room. Our child was bit during her sleep and the bugs were in and around the bed where the drywall was exposed also opening in the wall with paint chipping and plaster. Has this been tested for asbestos? We need this confirmed. Plumbing backed up continually. Flys everywhere on the patios and then in the house. Outdoor fire pit not working. No air in the Casita. I have pics of the bites and bugs and drywall.
