You're right on the boardwalk, steps from the sand and Balboa Pier. The Fun Zone, restaurants, shops, and the ferry to Balboa Island are all a short walk. Guests rate the location 4.9 out of 5, and it's the thing they mention most.

Not really. Most guests park once and leave the car the whole trip. The beach, pier, restaurants, ferry, and Fun Zone are all walkable, and bike rentals are right on the boardwalk.

There's free parking on the property, a single garage spot. It's on the snug side, fine for a standard car or a mid-size SUV if you back in, but worth knowing if you drive something larger. For a second car, the public lot by Balboa Pier is your best bet.

Self check-in with a keypad, so you can arrive on your own schedule. Check-in is after 4 PM and checkout is before 11 AM.

Yes. Plenty of guests bring their dogs, there's a grassy park right out front, and the nearby beach is dog friendly.

The home is the upper unit, reached by about 14 steps. Once you're inside, it's all on one level. Worth flagging for anyone who'd find a flight of stairs difficult.

The home comes with an equipped kitchen, wifi, a washer and dryer, and bed linens and bath towels. The one thing to pack is your own beach towels and beach gear, since those aren't provided. The sand is a minute away, so you'll want them.
