Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Balboa Island

Perfect location and a quick walk to the best parts of Balboa Island! We loved staying here. It’s very spacious and comfortable.

Great location on the quiet end of Balboa Island. 4 houses from the beach, 2 blocks from the ferry. Great outdoor front deck, perfect to hang out and have meals on nice days. Kayaks and bikes available for your use! Downstairs unit of duplex was immaculately clean and very comfortable. Kitchen well supplied with everything you need. Owner very responsive to questions and needs. This is a great place, I can't wait to go back.

Had an amazing stay at this beautiful weekend rental! The unit itself was modern, spotless, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The location couldn’t be better — close to the beach, shops, and plenty of great food spots. The host was incredibly attentive and responsive, which made our stay even better. One thing to note: this is the unit in the back of the property, not the front, which was a bit confusing at first, but once we found it, everything was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a convenient and stylish place to stay!

This house is in an amazing spot. Restaurants and bars are close by. Walkable to the beach. I loved the automation in the house and everything was how it was described. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Our family’s stay was lovely. This quintessentially classic Balboa Island house felt like home away from home — comfortable, warm and inviting, cozy and quaint … yet spacious, too. We were all thrilled to have plenty of elbow room. Excellent location on little Balboa Island made parking super easy, plus the main walk-around area was truly a quick, easy stroll away. Appreciated the kitchen/baths being well stocked with basic supplies and essential equipment. Host communication was superb. Five stars!!!

Great location, short walk to the cutest little shops on one side and the ferry on the other.

Great place to stay for our Beach/Disney vacation. Just a block from the beach and 25 minutes to the parks. And everyone at HappiTravels was helpful— answered our questions and were there when we called.

We loved our stay. The place is very clean with an easy, short walk to the beach. The boardwalk is less than a block away allowing for beautiful Oceanside walks to the pier to Balboa Island. We appreciated the included parking spot as well. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

Great stay! There is everything you could possibly need for a beach stay. Pam was so helpful and had lots of good suggestions. The location was perfect. Just a block and a half from the beach and the neighborhood was quiet. Bed was super comfy and the space was perfect. Didn’t use the patio much but that also was a nice addition. Will def be staying again!!

The place is great. We felt very comfortable here. Terry is very accommodating.

Roger was an excellent host. He communicated great and his home had everything you’d need for the beach. The beach house was in a great location with everything you need in walking distance. Thanks Roger and Family.

A quaint little house, with a short walk to the beach. The area is beautiful to walk and close to restaurants. Great stay.

We stayed here as a quick getaway with family from out of town. Elizabeth's place was so cute and welcoming. It was a perfect size for us 4 and very spacious. Excellent location, lots of parking, walkable to all the local eateries, and especially the beach and Marina. My sister and niece had the best time here from AZ and would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend Elizabeth's place.

Beautiful location and perfect to spend time at the beach without any hassle. Cozy space and was perfect for our anniversary getaway.

We had the best time in this little gem of an apartment. Located in a lovely, quiet residential neighborhood of Aliso Viejo with direkt access to trails, a good connection to the freeway and only few minutes by car to beautiful Laguna Beach. Cari is an exceptional host, very thoughtful and attentive whilst always being mindful of everyone’s privacy. The unit sits tucked away in the lush and green backyard of the main property and allows for a quiet stay and feeling of safety and calm. The unit is fairly small with a tiny kitchenette, but offers everything one can need to handle daily life. Very thoughtfully equipped to make the most of every square foot, clean and high end appliances. Highly recommend this place - whether that’s for vacation or for seeking a temporary home.

This little place was perfect for my family. Super cute and clean. Had everything we needed and was close to everything!

This is our second year staying and we love it every time!!! The place is beautiful and so peaceful. We love all the amenities and it was so easy to get in and out. Communication with Sharon and Justin were amazing! Thank you! We will be back again next year!!!

Great place to stay. Walking distance to the beach was 2 min. Great amenities for the beach and great assortment of bikes. Loved the beach chairs and umbrellas. Place was very clean. Definitely would stay there again.

Only recommendation Let people know cant get in till 4 exactly. Got there at 3.57. Combinations did not work until 4. Everything else great

We had a great stay! The apartment was lovely and comfortable. It was near to places and people that we wanted to see while there. Cynthia was a very helpful and friendly host!

Tiffany is an incredible host. She is easy to communicate with and was proactive informing you of what to expect, easy instructions both checking in and out, as well as recommendations. She answered any questions I had in a timely matter to. The golf cart is a great addition as well to easily get to Avalon. Bottom line up front everything was very simple so that my girlfriend and I were able to fully enjoy our stay on the island. The villa was beautiful just like the pictures. It was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I highly recommend booking with Tiffany at her villa in Hamilton Cove. Just a heads up if you’re going to eat on the balcony don’t leave any food unattended for a second or the birds will swoop it. They’re watching and waiting for an opportunity. Happened to me lol. Thank you again Tiffany for making our trip so much easier to enjoy.

The place was beautiful! There was an amazing view. The place was nice and cozy, the perfect place to relax and soak in the view. The poo and hot tub was also very convenient.

Had a nice stay with Megan, the room had the beach nearby and a neighborhood filled with restaurants to enjoy! Even was able to accommodate us an extended check out, and was responsive when I had questions during checking-in. The only thing I would have to nit pick would be that you have to account for parking as a separate added expense during your stay. A nearby parking garage that had a lot of bad reviews of break-in’s swayed me to use the Air Garage nearby across from the crepe place. Other than that, fantastic stay and amazing experience staying here.

The place is really nice and super clean to stay. 5 star ⭐️ recommendation!
