Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Avalon

Given that the second bathroom in outside with a quick walk down side of house, it was lovely and big. Yes, the home is older but extra cozy. The beds were good and small kitchen perfect for cooking. Could use one more serving bowl. Location was divine! short walk to Marine Street and ferry. A quiet, lovely street. We loved the french doors and half doors to let a beach breeze circulate. Washer and dryer were convenient. Parking always available on street. Granted, it is not brand new but had all we needed. Could not have enjoyed ourselves more. We would definitely love to return in the future.

Place was amazing. Exactly as described in the listing. Tyler was very responsive and answered any questions I had promptly. Beautiful place in a beautiful area. Right on the beach.

We were a group of 8 taller & clumsy men in town for the World Ultimate Championships. The house was the perfect size for our group and had comfy beds and linens waiting for us after each day of competition. The open concept shared area was great to allow for team bonding and the walkout deck was great for early morning coffees. The surrounding area was very quiet with excellent access to the ferry and the beach. Great walking loop around the island as well as biking routes and fishing areas allowed everyone the opportunity to explore and not have to deal with any vehicule traffic. The higher shower heads were definitely a hit with the guys above 6'4". We would definitely recommend this house to anyone that wants to have a stress-free, comfortable experience. The hosts were excellent and very communicative. 5 stars all the way!!! Thank-you!

Susan's home is so beautiful and well loved. There are so many gorgeous little touches and the home is so high quality - not like many airbnb's you visit these days that are created just as airbnbs. Susan's home is obviously a home they have loved and cared about and have put attention into so many of the details. Everything you could imagine needing is there, the beds are SO comfy, the linens wonderful, the kitchen is gorgeous, the location is perfect!!

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.

Stephanie place was perfect. As a retired woman who was born & raised in HB; you couldn’t get a better location for the experience of what Surf City is. To walk across the street & stroll the boardwalk, the beach or an evening stroll on the pier was just what we hoped for in our stay. Stephanie had wagons & plenty of beach chairs & beach towels for everyone. So easy to pull our items across to the beach. The house was super comfortable and stocked. Comfortable beds & fluffy towels. Although we were in town for a sad occasion, Stephanie was very accommodating. We actually went to come back for a holiday visit. A+ host & beach house.

This home was absolutely perfect. Spotless and clean with very cozy furniture. Our family had to cut our trip short due to an illness, but we loved the home! We especially liked the dock in the back. We saw a big school of jelly fish swimming by. I HIGHLY recommend this home. We wish we could have finished our time there, and look forward to getting there again!

Great host, not only is Matt’s place amazing, but he is a top notch host! Truly cares about his guests and quick response times! The house was incredible kitchen had all supplies so I was able to cook without missing anything! The fire pit and BBQ on front patio allowed for amazing memories! The rooftop patio, perfect for the morning sun! Walkable to Main Street and the beach! We never had to drive anywhere! Will definitely be staying here again!

This was our third stay at The Shack! If you're traveling to the peninsula, the price for this location cannot be beat — walkable to Pavilions, the beach (including the boardwalk), Lido, and so many fantastic restaurants. The condo is clean, comfortable, and offers great people watching from its second-story vantage. Will continue to recommend!

"Fantastic stay! The place was spotless, well-stocked with everything we needed, and in a perfect location. It was a great deal for the price, and everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!"

We had a great stay at this property! It's fully remodeled, very clean and comfortable. Everything was provided, including nice bath towels (mini shampoo/conditioner/lotion, too), soft comfortable linen, fully stocked kitchen, etc. The property is steps away from Marine Avenue, the main street on Balboa Island, with great shops and restaurants. That being said, you are in a more vibrant and happening part of the island, which comes with a little more noise and traffic. We enjoyed being close to everything, walking around, etc. The host is responsive and super easy to work with.

Sharon's place was great! The location along Marine is perfect if you want to walk to shops and restaurants. The apartment was very cute and beachy - perfect for a SoCal getaway. And a pretty good size space compared to other places I've stayed on the island - cute living area, desk and dining area, outdoor patio. Love all the plants in the courtyard too ;) Sharon was an outstanding host - very friendly, communicated clearly, responsive, and all around made sure it was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay! Most restaurants are few minutes away! The beach is close by. The host was friendly and responsive.

Enjoyed 3 nights here! The moment you walk in, there’s a nice view of the beach! Enough towels were provided for our stay (both beach and bath). Location is excellent! There are two separate showers with great water pressure. Comes with a dedicated parking spot in the garage and there is also a bigger paid parking lot close by. Unit comes with air conditioning as well. Highly recommend you stay here!

The Village at Irvine Spectrum is definitely one of the best places to stay for vacation. The room is comfy with a night view. Comfy living room with a nice couch and Netflix. Kitchen is clean but with some missing amenities. Nice and clean shower. Washer and dryer are available. Bedroom is comfortable. Would recommend for a quick getaway nothing too long. Overall with a few touch ups this room can be a great option for couples.

Clean, bright and spacious place just steps from the beach and right across the street from a convenient shopping center. Super comfortable stay and Bruce was an excellent communicator. Thanks, Bruce!

This is our 3rd time staying here and had a great time as always

Such a great location, he usually stay around this area for our family trips to CDM and this was gold.

Incredible views! We loved our stay and plan to book again! Comfortable, clean and well-stocked. Plenty of outdoor seating options from which to enjoy the incredible views. Comfortable beds and all furniture in great condition. Only real complaint, if you can call it that, is the lighting outside the front door. Many positives to our stay

Betty’s home was perfect, especially the jacuzzi. We spent a day at the amusement park and soaking in the jacuzzi helped so much with my arthritic bones. The backyard had trees with oranges on them, and a birds nest in the satellite dish which I’m pretty sure had eggs in it. The 3 full bathrooms was a wonder when multiple people need to get ready and the beds were cozy and comfy. Kitchen had the amenities she offers and is so beautiful. Mind you there are tons of cameras around the outside of the house which adds extra safety. I would definitely stay again.

I had an amazing experience here. The environment was peaceful, providing the perfect escape from daily life. Nice surroundings allowed for relaxation, making it an ideal getaway. The owner was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, went beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable, providing helpful recommendations and being available whenever needed. Her hospitality truly made my stay special. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with a wonderful host.

Fantastic stay! Views were incredible. Casita was clean and very comfortable. Felt like home. Would absolutely stay here again!

We have stayed at Terranea many times and Beth’s view is the best of any Casita we’ve stayed-in. Unobstructed ocean views from both the living room and the bedroom. Close to the walking trail, pool, spa, and restaurants. Check-in through the app and front desk were nice and easy. Daily housekeeping was wonderful as well. Thank you, Beth. We will be back!

Anna was amazing! Very communicative. On Terranea side - housekeeping missed a broken glass (?!) on the edge of the tub. And we did not get early check in sadly - we knew it was not guaranteed, but unit was empty at 12 and despite Terranea saying they were working it, we did not get in until official check in at 4pm. But unit was terrific!
