This cute upstairs unit is in a great location on Balboa Island, and we would absolutely stay here again. We appreciated the carport parking and included toiletries and kitchen staples. The wifi was strong, and it was nice to have a little desk in the bedroom. Communication and check-in instructions were clear. The host was friendly and responded quickly to a couple questions in advance of the stay. My only suggestion is to replace the mattresses when possible as they sag a bit and have body impressions, which affect comfort. Overall, it was an excellent stay and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this unit to friends.

We had a great stay at this cottage on the Island. It was so perfect for us! Having much more space than a just a hotel room, a fully stocked kitchen, even a Brita water pitcher in the fridge plus the outdoor deck was such a bonus for morning coffee and evening wine! Will definitely stay here again. The owner was so easy to work with also!

We had a wonderful stay at the Mariner Cottage. It was a safe, clean, and peaceful home base for exploring Balboa Island, Newport Beach, and Huntington Beach. We loved having a parking spot, since we didn't drive the entire time; rather, we rode bikes and took the Balboa Ferry over to the Peninsula. Communication with our host, Chase, was 10/10. Thank you for making it an easy, stress-free stay, allowing us to focus on enjoying the area. :)

Another Great Getaway

We always enjoy our week at Chase’s cottage. We celebrated Mother’s Day, had beautiful weather and were lucky enough to add a couple of extra days to our vacation. We looked forward to having coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night out on the new deck furniture. Until next time!!

Great communication and just a very well maintained cottage loft feel here. Outdoor patio is a surprise with really comfortable seating and just a great place to hang out. We easily walked downtown and to the water. The property had great storage for our “stuff” too which was appreciated. Really good shower and just a fun place to stay.

Best Cottage on Balboa Island

I’ve been staying on Balboa Island at least 3 times a year for the past 30 years, and this updated cottage is one of the best beach cottages my wife and I have ever rented! Excellent price point and a beautiful remodel with a lot of space for two adults.

Great location on Balboa Island; quiet and clean!

We just stayed here for the 2nd time while visiting family in Huntington Beach. The apartment is attractively furnished in gray, navy and white, and has everything you will need in the kitchen. It is steps away from the walkway that runs all the way around Balboa Island. We look forward to returning.

Property and host were both great! I experienced a strange glitch when booking this VRBO trip through Expedia. I could not connect the reservation to my VRBO account and VRBO was unable to resolve the issue. However, they put me in direct contact with the host, who was very professional and communicative. We enjoyed staying in this cute property on beautiful Balboa Island. Highly recommend.

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.
