2 Reviews of Property 989999 in Balboa Island, California

We had a wonderful time on Balboa Island. The owner was very nice accommodating all the emails we sent her concerning any questions we had. The home was sweet, charming and very clean. We enjoyed walking in the small town, having mexican food one night and pizza our last night. We took the ferry off the island and rented beach cruiser bicycles for $10 a day. We rode our bikes along the coast looking at all the beautiful homes… unbelievable!! The pier was a fun place to fish and have breakfast and lunch at Ruby's cafe. We enjoyed the beach full of sunbathers and people body surfing and skin boarding. We rode our bikes to the ferry and paid $1 per person and .25 a bike, what a bargain!! Once back on the island we rode up and down all the streets, taking in all the magnificent homes on the island, never one alike. This was all done our last three days because the first four days we went to Universal Studios, had a treasure hunt for famous places and went to Disneyland three days! The traffic was incredibly smooth to and from Disneyland, about 30 minutes each way. The only downside to our vacation; we chose August and it was miserably hot so we missed not having an air conditioner in the house. We, the parents, stayed in the back bedroom because it has a private bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, but if you're a light sleeper like me, you can hear the tenant above walking around late (11:30- 12 a.m.) Luckily, I brought earplugs and Voila!...Silence. My husband was not bothered by the noise above.
