Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Balboa Island

Enjoyed our stay and appreciate the flexibility of the host to accommodate a slightly earlier check in time :)

Great host. Nice place by the beach

Overall, our family had an amazing stay and would stay here again! This home is absolutely beautiful and the views / amenities were spectacular! Ethan & Ellie were very quick at communicating with us and we could tell they really wanted us to have a great stay. Even the mechanic/maintenance guy that came was super friendly, knowledgeable and nice. We could tell the whole team wanted us to have a 5 star stay and we did! Thank you all!

A great stay and beautiful home. It was the perfect spot to relax after morning surf sessions. I would both recommend this BNB to others and stay here again. I was really impressed with how well stocked the home was. The host really provides everything you could need in all parts of the home as well as welcoming snacks, and other goodies. Clean, comfortable, and spacious.

Loved the location on the peninsula. We were able to walk to the beach, to restaurants and really enjoyed being able to use the rooftop deck. Beds were super comfortable and the place was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very helpful also to have the garage for our car and e-bikes since parking is such a challenge in that area. Appreciated our host being available for any questions on arrival and throughout our stay. Hope to visit again!

This place was amazing! Perfect for a fam or group of friends! Clean and very comfortable and modern! Only thing would be the check-in /check-out times being earlier/later. Other than that, amazing location and place. Would stay here again and recommend to anyone! The beach chairs and bikes also saved us lots of money

Absolutely beautiful! Spacious and cool layout. This house was better than I expected. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Parking was great too.

This is a fantastic place to stay! The house is beautiful, filled with everything you could ever need plus nice little unexpected amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms. The area is wonderful, close to downtown restaurants and shops, and two wonderful small bakeries/breakfast spots a few blocks away. Great place!

The beds were so comfortable and the space was perfect for getting 10 family members together. It was good for teens and young adults as well as old adults. Lots of separate spaces to hang out and visit. Hosts were super responsive and answered any questions we had. All in all a really great weekend!!! Thank you so much!!

We spent a week at this house. It was the perfect resting place after moving out of our home while in transition to our new house.The house is tucked into a peaceful cul de sac, it was very quiet during our stay. The house is clean and cozy.We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and entertaining guests with a wide arrange of games on the patio. The location is close to the freeways so its easy to get to all our destinations. I definitely would recommend this listing and visit again.

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.

The place was exactly as described and we felt incredibly comfortable. They had a cute set up and the pool was clean. The host were lovely and efficient. I truly enjoyed my stay here and would definitely come back.

Jessica and Ethan were incredible hosts! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, well-stocked, and welcoming. The home was perfect for our family getaway ,spacious, cozy, and kid-friendly. Our kids had a blast, and we felt right at home the entire time. Jessica and Ethan went above and beyond with thoughtful touches and great communication throughout our stay. It’s clear they really care about making the experience special. We’d definitely come back again. Thank you both for helping create such a memorable trip for our family! — Mike

House is located in such a quiet part of town and only a short commute to the beach/harbor/anything fun we wanted to do. The spa and pool were a perfect plus to our stay. I will definitely be coming back

What a great place to stay, i would absolutely recommend this place and the hosts as well. Everything was great. 5 stars all around. Looking forward to coming back.

Chuchu (the host) was very kind and accommodating and communicated very well with us. We couldn’t stay as long as we wanted due to personal plans. So we weren’t able to enjoy the fantastic amenities like we would have liked to! There are so many amenities, and probably the best out of the Airbnb we have stayed at. Everything was spotless and well-maintained. Good parking availability. There was so much to do for everyone, from the garage games to the backyard pool, sauna and jacuzzi. Everything the listing described and then some. It was also very close to restaurants and things to do if you plan to leave the house and do other things too. It is an active area but a peaceful neighborhood and one you can relax. Best of both worlds! Great for a short stay or longer stay!

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.

We were lucky to see whales and dolphins migrating through from the apartment. It’s a great location and beautiful apartment. We had a wonderful weekend vacation. Derek is a great and responsive host.

Stylishly decorated apartment overlooking the pool. Host was very quick to respond to requests.

Cute little house in Balboa island. Great location. Close to main street with shops & food. Dog friendly, although we decided not to bring our dog. I truly appreciate airbnbs that allow dogs. Of note: there is quite a bit of construction one street over. Road is closed and this house is located on the detour route. Although temporary, was noisy & busy at times. Also, the one bathroom is located downstairs. We didnt mind, but keep in mind if use restroom frequently at night (bedrooms are upstairs).

Good location, close to restaurants and shopping. A short walk to the beach. This place was absolutely spotless. VERY CLEAN!! Loved the patio area. Having the garage with washer & dryer was a big convenience. Upon arrival, Patti greeted us & made sure we had everything we needed. Great stay.

I loved staying at Ollie's place more than I can express. It is a breath of fresh air, so beautiful, and so lovely. The breakfast was such a fantastic and delicious added touch and the pictures--as beautiful as they are--don't do it justice. The beach is also very sparsely occupied so you can really have a lot of room to yourself out there. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Stayed here with three friends and had the best and most relaxing time. The views are unbeatable, and the private beach access makes this rental feel like a true get-away. We had everything we needed in the home— we went to dinner one night and cooked one night. They had all the essentials in the kitchen. The beds were super comfortable, they had towels and beach gear ready to use, and we loved being able to use the firepit each night. The home is very charming and was spotless when we got there. We had an incredible stay! Would absolutely come back and definitely recommend for other groups of 2-5.

Great place walkable to beach and I recommend Cassidy’s for a good time drinks and food
