Apartment holiday rentals in Balboa Island

Great location, close to the beach and a short walk to restaurants, bars and shops. The amenities were everything we needed and the apartment was a good size for what we needed. Would recommend

Had an amazing stay! Our absolute favorite part was the location. Waking up and opening the double doors to the sound of the beach was so relaxing! Beds were comfy, even the pull out couch. Had a great host that was quick with replies. Provided us a pack-n-play for our baby when requested. It was so fun to sit outside with a drink and people-watch on the bike/walking path while watching the sunset. There were really no cons except the outside cushions on the couch were a little dirty, and then got soaked from the rain one day and took long to dry. Maybe changing it to a table like the unit next door would be better!! Also, the no-AC didn’t bother us, was cool outside in the mornings and nights. Also they provided a couple fans that were found in the closet. Other than that, everything was great & would 100% stay again:)

Such an amazing stay. Host is very helpful and the apartment has a nice private feel while still being in a great location! Highly recommend.

Just as described! Thanks

Beautiful Apartment with amazing views. Check in check out process is cumbersome as you have to make two trips to the apartment each time. There is a lot of traffic noise as it is right next to a very busy road.

Central location with great access to the beach and short ride to the center of Laguna Beach. Drakes is a wonderful restaurant next door to the apartment.

My husband, two girls, and I absolutely loved our stay at Ollie’s place! The location is perfect, and sitting in front of that window every morning with my coffee is something I’m going to daydream about nonstop. We walked right out to the beach every morning after breakfast, and Ollie had chairs, toys, and much more for us to use on the beach. Her breakfast each morning was such a treat! We couldn’t get enough of her delicious baked treats. Ollie is so kind, and is super quick to respond with anything you may need. Thanks Ollie for the best family vacay! ❤️

Great place to stay! Clean and looks like the photos!

Beautiful apartment. Very clean. Great resort

Great overall. Clean, comfortable, with plenty of towels. This unit is right on the water, with a patio on the first level where you can lounge and watch seabirds and various people walk by. The only couple of notes to be aware of are one, the main living area has no window treatments for privacy, so don't walk around unclothed... unless you are into that kind of thing. Second, there is no water filtration, so you'll need to purchase your own drinking water. Also, cheap toilet paper that's rough on the rear end. Yes, I'm being nitpicky.

The directions for entry were very precise including pictures. Unfortunately for us during a really hot spell, the ac had an issue when we checked in. Farah did everything she could to resolve the situation. She brought in maintenance as quickly as possible. She brought a portable ac which really cooled most of the area. She comped dinner the first night. She offered to send us to another apt owned by her brother which was available. The ac was repaired on our last day, but we had been mostly out of the apt through the day, so it was not a big inconvenience. The portable ac saved us. While the trip had its hiccups, I couldn’t have asked for a better host response. Would definitely recommend this listing as it was convenient to shopping and restaurants with walking.

Melissa’s cottage was exactly like the description and photos! So cute and so close to the beach and to downtown! The sauna was such an extra bonus. We used it everyday. Great place to stay and would definitely stay again!!!

Truly enjoyed my stay here. Highly recommend!

Outstanding stay at the triplex. We did not want to leave. Clean and quiet. Close to Huntington Beach and Santa Ana trails for walks, runs, bike rides. Walk minutes to beach and restaurants. Easy access to Balboa. Eddie was always responsive and his staff ready to be of service as needed be. Would definitely stay again.

This space is really beautiful and cozy. We felt very relaxed here. Everything was clean and inviting. The bed was comfortable with fresh sheets and towels. The property is clean and secure. The building is super cute and has the look of the New Orleans French Quarters with the circular fancy iron staircases and the beautiful iron street lanterns that line the walkway. The host, George, was most helpful in recommending a good restaurant and was available to answer questions throughout our stay. We definitely recommend this place if you need a place it stay at in Santa Ana.

Barbara's place was close to the beach, peaceful and quiet and had all the amenities that a person would need for an awesome vacation. Barbara was kind, responsive, and made sure that all my questions were answered. Her place was on the upper floor, neat, clean, and with amazing WiFi access. I never had to turn on the air conditioning as the cool breeze from the beach was amazing 👏

Amazing stay! So close to the park and such a great spot for visiting disney with kids. Our kids loved the toys, bunk beds, playground right outside and pool! Sara was so nice to give us early check in for a small fee.

Had a great stay! Extremely clean and stocked with everything you would need from coffee to even a gifted a bottle of wine. Highly recommend to stay here. We will be back for sure.

We had a wonderful time and would definitely book this house again! We loved it so much we wanted to book another day but someone else already had it booked. We loved the roof hot tub, the sand and beach being right on the house!!!

Great place! Convenient and cozy but felt spacious. Host was very responsive. Would recommend!

Brandon was incredibly accommodating throughout our entire trip, and the experience was fantastic. Everything - from the kitchen and bathroom to the bedding was clean and comfortable. I would definitely love to stay at his place again.

Very clean, cute decor, comfortable and spacious (for our family of 5people), has a lot of ample amenities even for kids! Clubhouse, pool & jacuzzi access. Securities at the gate were friendly and the Neighbors mostly seem don't mind having Air BnB guests in a gated community. Walking to Waldorf hotel took about 10m, beach about 20m. But the restaurants and stores were in short driving distance. We really enjoyed this spot. Thank you!

Jan and Dale's place felt like home. When we arrived we had a nice surprise from them, snacks, a bottle of wine and fresh flowers. The neighborhood felt friendly and it was a 5 minute drive from the beach. They exceeded our expectations and we hope to return soon!

TW was extremely responsive and a great host. Property as described and in a great area. Close to everything in the OC.
