Kid-friendly vacation 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.

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!!!

We had a wonderful time during our stay. Just the right amount of room and comfort for our family! Our hosts were very responsive and kind as soon as we booked.

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.

This place was perfect! Very easy to get to main street shops. Beautiful view. Loved the 2 large couches so everyone cound sit in a large circle to talk with each other. Host was very fast answering any questions.

My family had a great stay! The house was amazing, the views and sliding patio doors to open up the house to the ocean was awesome. The house is secluded enough that it felt very private and quiet but still close enough to all the restaurants and stuff to do. We basically had that area of the beach all to ourselves throughout the whole stay. Also just across the Main Street, a 2 min walk you have access to the bay with beach and calm shallow waters for younger kids. We were all obsessed with this home and def plan on coming back. Host was amazing and helpful. Thanks again!

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.

Excellent Stay for Special Occasion! We had a wonderful time staying at this charming apartment during our niece's graduation in Long Beach. The location couldn't have been better - everything we needed was within easy reach, making our trip so much more convenient. The host really went above and beyond with thoughtful touches that made our stay special. The apartment came well-stocked with extra linens, a record player that added great ambiance, and a fully equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. The cozy atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. Perfect spot for anyone visiting Long Beach - we'd definitely stay here again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great location! Excellent host.

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!

There was a stain on the blow up bed. Just wanted you to be aware. But the space was beautiful. We enjoyed ourselves

This trip was awesome! The home at Hamilton Cove was perfect and the view is amazing!! My family and I cannot say enough good things about this place. We are already planning our next trip. Thank you so much!!

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!

The place is so peaceful and steps away from the beach. As other reviewers have mentioned, can hear the sound of the waves from the space. Sheryl is awesome and responsive. The apartment itself is so clean and well-equipped.

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.

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