Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Balboa Island

Adorable place w nice finishes and super close to the beach. It’s in a great location with lots of bustle. We loved sitting on the little patio. All of Lisa’s instructions were super clear and specific. She was very responsive in bringing us more wine glasses when we noticed there was just one.

Thank you Savannah for a lovely stay. We were in the area for a funeral so it was nice to walk around Balboa Island & Peninsula in our free time, including an hour or two on the beach. Your place was clean, efficient, and comfortable. You had all the amenities we needed. Thank you for your timely communications, you made it easy for us to be there.

This spot was great. Just steps from the beach and had bikes and beach gear we could use. Rich was super helpful and responsive. The garage access is pretty tight as described. We rented a full size car and were able to get it in with a second person outside the car to guide it in. Still very nice to have a spot that wasn’t street parking which could have been tough to find.

Me and my wife turned Katherine’s home into our home for the weekend and we couldn’t have been more grateful we chose this house. It was VERY beautiful and is kept in great condition. The host made sure everything was provided and throughly explained. The space worked AMAZING for anyone looking to entertain family and friends. We found out the house is well known in the neighborhood for its beautiful Christmas lights from several neighbors. We were extremely honored to represent this house for a few days, and would highly recommend to anyone visiting seal beach/ Long Beach.

Thanks for a great stay!

We enjoyed our stay. Great host, always replied quickly, and kindly accommodated check-in and check-out requests. Thank you!

Wonderful stay and just steps from the beach. Mark was super super responsive and helpful. Perfect for our family of 6. Can’t wait to return and stay here again!

It was a lovely location and very nice place. My husband commented on how large it was. It had everything we needed and lots of room. We brought our toys that easily stored in the garage, but there was also toys in there so not sure we needed to bring it all. The view out the front window was amazing and I loved the neighborhood in the early morning - quiet, peaceful with the kids all riding their bikes to school! If you are a techy, the WIFI was not strong - had to go to back patio for good reception. The only negative was the neighbors who came in Friday night - they did not honor the quiet hours of 11:00pm to 8:00am. We called the property manager the next morning who stated they would let them know, but it happened again the next night and we had to go over and ask them to quiet down. They did quiet down immediately the second night. We were there with our grandchildren who are four and 5 weeks old so the late night volume was something we were hoping to avoid.

We really enjoyed our stay, although we ended up ubering to Disneyland because it wasn’t quite as walkable as we had hoped. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We did get cold at night and there wasn’t enough extra blankets, but maybe they were stored somewhere else that we couldn’t locate. It was really clean and perfect for our Disneyland trip! We were too busy to use the pool but it was a short walk from the unit.

Penelope’s home was exactly what we hoped for - clean, easily accessible, close to shopping and activities, plenty of parking space and comfortable. We never needed to reach out for assistance as everything was listed clearly and comprehensively both in the listing and in the house manual. I could not recommend this home and Penelope as a host more - I hope to return in the future!

Great stay! There is everything you could possibly need for a beach stay. Pam was so helpful and had lots of good suggestions. The location was perfect. Just a block and a half from the beach and the neighborhood was quiet. Bed was super comfy and the space was perfect. Didn’t use the patio much but that also was a nice addition. Will def be staying again!!

I really enjoyed my stay at Breanna’s! The apartment was so comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. It was easy to cozy up and make a home cooked meal! I’m looking forward to my next stay when I’m in OC!

Such a cute place ! The private patio area was really nice. It was also great having a garage to park in. Long Beach is infamous for parking so having a guaranteed spot is such a plus. There's also so many great places to eat near by. I highly recommend Jesse's place if you are going to Long Beach.

We loved our stay at Casita Clemente! Barbara provided us with many snacks and recommendations for our short time, and the Airbnb was well stocked with everything we needed (including coffee). Her instructions are detailed and clear as well. As an added bonus, the beach and pier truly are a 5 minute walk away! Just a note that those who have allergies to dust should bring your own fans for sleeping at night! We had planned to use the many fans Barbara provided but couldn’t because they were a bit dusty. But if that’s not a problem for you, you should be good!

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!

The Starfish Cottage exceeded my expectations! Super cute and cozy, great location, and hosts were friendly and responsive. I really appreciated all the thoughtful details they put into the space, from providing a few snacks, to having blankets to use outside on a cool night. I will definitely look to book this property again if I am ever in the area.

House was as expected. The host was extremely accommodating for our big group. Checkin was easy and seamless. The only issue we had was that WiFi didn’t work well in downstairs master. Other than that, this house was everything we needed and more. Irene was fantastic! I wish all hosts were like her.

Great place and host was very communicative!!! Had a great experience with my family and would totally recommend it!!!

First and foremost, the hosts were so sweet, accommodating, and helpful! The property is absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. The pool house was perfect for our family and had everything we needed. Relaxing in the jacuzzi at night was the perfect way to end our days. Yan was always quick to respond and helpful when needed. The pool house is an older building but the hosts have kept it up well and we had an amazing stay. Absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we’re in the area.

Really awesome host and amazing place! the drive way & garage fits 3 cars. our party had more than that for our bachlorette and were able to find street parking. Be careful with the street parking though: there were some trees that got sticky sap all over the cars and pollen/leaves clung to it.

Great and clean home! Little quirks about the stay here and there, but that’ll be every place. 5 stars!!

We loved this house! The host went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and she was very communicative and accommodating. The house itself was very clean, well organized, spacious and quiet. We had enough space (inside and out) for all of us to feel comfortable. One of the best Airbnb's we've ever stayed in!

This was a perfect place for our stay. We traveled to this area to attend my bridal shower for my niece which was held at her house in Mission Viejo. This house was just 10 minutes away and very convenient to shopping , great restaurants, Dana point harbor, Baby Beach and John Wayne airport and great area to get out for a long walk! We loved this home because we each had our own room. It was a great place for us to sit and visit and is very family friendly. There was a crib for my grandson, toys, dinnerware etc. Highly recommend this home!

Mark was a wonderful host. He was easy to contact and replied very quickly. The house was beautiful and well equipped. The property was only a .50 mile from our granddaughter’s home. The heated pool was great entertainment for our great grandkids and they loved staying over and sleeping in the bunk beds. We are looking forward to returning.
