Home away from home
We come to the LA area every three months for medical appointments and this was by far the best place we have stayed. Chase is an excellent host and has paid attention to all the details to make for a great guest experience. We would definitely stay here again. Great quiet neighborhood. Walkable to shops and restaurants. Close to all the action.

Such a beautiful stay
My husband and I have never been to California before and this area was recommended by family. We would come back in a heartbeat! This property is walking distance to so much and we spent so much time outside! The property had everything we needed including the kitchen that was stocked with things to cook with! We will definitely be back!

Perfect stay!
The cottage is tastefully decorated, well appointed and immaculately clean! The beds and pillows are so incredibly comfortable that combined with buttery soft linens you will never want to get up in the morning! An ideal quiet location and perfect host…it doesn’t get any better than that! We definitely will rent this unit again.

This spot was absolutely perfect for 2 beach bumming kids celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. It was magical to walk through the festively lit streets to admire beautiful beach homes. Its wonderful to ditch your car and enjoy everything close by.

Loved our stay! A++++++
Cannot say enough good things about this rental. I don't love vacation rentals and have been avoiding, but took a chance on this trip and I am SO glad we did. We checked in late evening and had no trouble locating everything. The directions were clear. Fresh, clean, and every single thing we needed was at an arm's reach. We were very comfortable. Walkability to the ferry was perfect. And it goes without saying, Balboa Island at Christmas is MAGICAL! Thank you for the wonderful stay, we hope to be back soon!

Wonderful one bedroom...The bedroom itself is quite large with 2 queen size beds, a very nice living room and kitchen. Very clean and welcoming, complete with a small outside area perfect to be able to enjoy the evening and barbeque. The carport is a plus with easy access to the unit.

Wonderful upstairs cottage
We loved our stay here! The owner Chase is beyond wonderful. The check in process was a breeze. It’s super quiet, adorable and the location is perfect. Chase thought of everything, soap & shampoo, towels, cooking utensils and more, to make it feel like a home away from home. We loved walking to grab donuts in the morning, taking the ferry in the afternoons to ride e-bikes and take in the fun zone, etc.
