It took me a few minutes to figure out which gate had the entry box, but once I found it I was able to locate the condo easily. My family was excited to find the elevator. As we traversed up to the rental we found it was warm when we entered the residence, but expected that based on other reviews I read. This was easily remedied by opening the windows and utilizing the many fans which are provided.
The home is decorated in lovely blues and greens and with the exception of a piece of captain crunch cereal under the coffee table, we found the home clean and ready for us. There are an ample amount of extra pillows in the closets along with hangers. With the exception of the bunk room, beds are comfortable. Bunk beds are adequate, the room doesn’t get good ventilation. We kept the bedrooms open which allowed for airflow from the one bedroom to the other.
Monday morning I was awoken (windows were open to allow the ocean sounds and breeze to come waft through) by the not so lovely sounds of the street sweeper and buses. The buses stop regularly throughout the day as the condo is right behind the Balboa municipal parking lot.
Location is wonderful if you like being close to the beach, near volleyball and fire pits , shops, and restaurants. We rented bikes and ate at a couple local places that were recommended-food was great.
We would stay here again, but definitely only during the off season as we’re not fans of crowds.
