The workspace area on the main level includes a leather couch that transforms into a bed. This space does not have blinds, so you will wake up to direct, unobstructed views of the water.

BALBOA PENINSULA BEACHES, APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES BY FERRY

The ferry makes it easy to reach the larger beaches and attractions on the peninsula, for a day of sand, surf, and sunshine.
