Cute design and decor. Close to restaurants and a great walking area in an upscale neighborhood with plenty of boating. The place airs out nicely on warm summer days. Full kitchen for cooking if you so desire. Patio, BBQ and washer/dryer also there. Some street noise, but bearable. ##### Scott Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqui B.

I sleep better here than anywhere else in the world. The parking is a major bonus and always encourages me to walk. The roses were in bloom all over the Big and Little Islands.

Cute cottage. Nicely appointed. It was the right price with great location. The ONLY downside was it was a bit noisy at night on the weekend with the windows open. Comfy sheets and bed.

Everything shined. The size was great for a couple. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need, even coffee. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The towels and face clothes were soft. The location to everything on Balboa Island couldn't have been better. Detailed instructions were provided ahead of time to cover everything. The garage was a huge plus since on street parking is limited. This was our first experience with VRBO and we loved it. ##### Peter W.

It’s a small, fully furnished apartment over the garage, sharing an outdoor patio with the main house. There is no air conditioning, so if the house is closed up in the summer months it can get quite hot, but once you open up the windows and the adorable Dutch door, a nice sea breeze keeps it very comfortable. We had a few issues with the stove and electric water kettle and the owner took care of both of those things right away. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### peggy s. Oct 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A little slice of heaven Where to start…the apartment unit was exactly as expected. It is very clean and had everything we needed for the week. The unit is extremely charming and maintains a wonderful vintage feel. The queen bed was comfortable. There is wonderful light coming in from all directions. The location is fantastic…only 2 short blocks from the Marine Ave. shops and restaurants. Balboa Island is very close to SNA so you might notice jets taking off starting at 7AM…part of the charm. Also, working people start their day around this time so you might also hear vehicles on Balboa Ave. Otherwise, it’s very quiet overnight. We are so happy to have discovered this little gem and hope to come back soon! ##### peggy s. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kacey R. Nov 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Little Spot The cottage was the perfect little spot for a solo trip to SoCal! I was in town visiting friends, and really appreciated the cottage as a chill spot to come back to at the end of the day. The garage was wonderful to have, BUT just be aware that it's a typical island garage and if you have a car much bigger than mine (a newer model rav4) it probably will not fit and you will have to find street parking. My car juuuust barely fit. The unit itself was just what I needed as one person, but it'd be very tight for any more than a couple. Quiet, peaceful, easy access, and close to restaurants/nice evening walking spots. Definitely give this place a look if you're in the area! ##### Kacey R.
