Beachfront holiday rentals in Balboa Island

Visiting from San Diego and we just absolutely loved this place and the location! Very clean and spacious!! Outside patio area is beautiful and perfect for having a pup! We really enjoyed using the fire pit area in the evening. Everything is walkable from beaches to shops and restaurants! We will be back for sure!

Location right in the middle of everything. Easily walkable to shops and restaurants. A minute to the boards and beach. Nice to have an off street parking spot.

This property lived up to everything promised and more. It was clean (and I am picky!), well located, and easy to access by following the detailed instructions. Our guests, as well as ourselves, were comfortable with the beds and furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked and the towels, linens, and little extras were all appreciated. All of us that stayed had no problem with the stairs. If anyone planning to visit has mobility issues, you might want to look elsewhere, but that is the ONLY reason not to book a stay at this wonderful Air B&B. Also, nearby parking was not in issue for our guest who parked nearby on a clearly marked public street (not in the alley behind the property). Thanks Clifton!

We absolutely loved our stay at Margaret’s place! The location is perfect…2 blocks to Main Street and 2 blocks to the beach. Very easy to get in, and we loved having a garage parking spot for our car. We used the bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs, and beach towels, which made for a lovely stay near the beach. We would definitely recommend this place, and will hopefully be back in the future!!

This was a perfect place for us - well-equipped, comfortable, and convenient to every place and everything we needed. Alain was extremely responsive to questions and provided many helpful suggestions, which were also much appreciated. Alain made us feel very welcome. We would highly recommend this listing to anyone who wants to be near a beach, walk to get coffee and pastries, and have a quiet place to stay with friends or family.

Great stay. Perfect location for us. We had a great time. Everything was as described and we never had to contact the host for anything.

We very much enjoyed the clean house and quiet neighborhood at Greg’s. It was located near our conference and close to restaurants and shops so we could walk everywhere. Thank you!

This was a great rental, and the hosts were accommodating and very personable. The location was perfect and safe for my children to be able to go outside and walk quickly to the beach. The communication was clear and I would recommend this property to others.

We had such a great stay here, thank you so much Jaime and Liz for hosting us! The views are just phenomenal, and easy access to the hot tub and pool really was a treat. Would love to come back here again in the future!

Gladys was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to be a great host. She responded promptly and answered all my questions. Sent me itineraries and list of things to do ahead of time so that I can plan accordingly. I would definitely recommend booking with Gladys!

Very cute stop to stay to just go to the beach or find a cute stop to eat.

Thanks so much for a great stay! Amenities were lovely -- great for the whole family as well as for someone just needing to hang by the pool with a pina colada. Appreciated the wonderful staff at the villas and the attentiveness to visitors needs. Looking forward to another stay.

Carla is a fantastic host. Property has incredible ocean views.

Great place! Beautiful ocean views. Great walking path along the beach.

We had an amazing stay! The resort offered so many activities, beautiful pools, and was just steps from the ocean. Everything was gorgeous, both inside and out. The room was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. Bethany was wonderful — easy to communicate with, very helpful, and always responsive. Any small needs we had were quickly taken care of by the resort staff as well. It was truly a perfect vacation. We would absolutely love to come back!

We enjoyed Nadine's place. It is located in a very nice gated community, which is quiet, peaceful, and safe. The condo was very fashionable and modern, comfortable, and very well located for our visit. We would definitely go back.

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.

Can’t beat this amazing beach front location in Belmont Shore. The views from the living room, master bedroom and back patio will leave you mesmerized and make it hard to leave the home. Luckily the neighborhood is so quaint with walking paths on both sides of the peninsula that you will want to enjoy a morning stroll, if not a run on the beach. The house is so roomy that we could comfortably fit our extended family without anyone tripping over each other. The hosts were extremely responsive and provided detailed information to make sure we immediately felt at home. We highly recommend this beautiful home!

Shirley's Long Beach house was truly one of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had! Location wise, you are only a few minutes from down town Long Beach and some great dining options, but you are also directly across the street from one of Long Beach's great public parks and you can get from the kitchen to the beach before your coffee even has time to cool off. There is a bit of traffic right outside the front door, but there was no honking and little revving when we were visiting. As for the amenities, they did a fantastic job of stocking the rooms with plenty of towels and any consumables you may need, including laundry detergent and coffee. They also provided some free waters and cookies which was very kind. The sheets and bed are the only areas that could use some improvement. The sheets were rather scratchy and the comforter was very warm for a room with limited air flow, but they were clean and pressed, so I can't complain too much. I can't recommend this place enough!!!

This beach house could not have been more perfect! The location is everything. I swear we found one of the most private beaches with staying at this property. The property had all the amenities and we really felt at home. Kathy was sooooo helpful. Her communication was great. We would absolutely come back and stay. We saw dolphins and sea lions from the back deck.

This was a great location with an amazing host. Would stay again!

Edmund’s place is stunning! The views are incredible and he is a great host. Very responsive to any questions we had and extremely helpful!

This was our first air bnb experience , and it was amazing ! So flexible, wonderful experience, great amenities. We were able to check in a few hours earlier, and everything was clean and exactly like the photos. Will be returning for sure! :) thank you!

We loved our stay in Dana Point and would recommend this airbnb without hesitation. The location is incredible and right on the beach. The home is so well-appointed, clean and comfortable. We had a ton of family fun with all the games and bikes and beach gear that come with the house. We got to see dolphins swimming in the waves right in front of the deck on our last day which was a real treat. Julie was a wonderful host - so thoughtful, kind, detailed, and easy to communicate with. We’d definitely come back and stay again if we get the chance! Thanks again Julie!
