Location was awesome! we had no issues with no ac in july and they provided 2 box fans which we just put in the windows and it kept us cool all night. August might be a different story but i'll definitely stay again next year. Communication was not great as i asked 2 questions and never got a response. We could have checked in earlier as we saw the house cleaners leave when we parked our car. House is big and clean. i highly recommend.

The best place to stay, close to what you need and a real nice apartment that more than well met our expectations. We really recommend Vacasa and their apartment. We will be back

We had a great time in the unit. It was relaxing and clean. The weather was foggy the whole time which was a bummer but we loved Balboa. We wish we had accept to the outside with a patio but its so easy to get out and about that it wasn’t a problem. We will return!
