We enjoyed using the wood burning stove. The smell was amazing! My family are runners so we loved the 2 1/2 mile loop of the two islands! We’d wake up early and set out on the beautiful paved trail. I miss it already!

This was our 2nd time staying here and it was just as good if not better than the 1st time. The location is great! We were there for Memorial weekend so it was a little busy but if you are good with walking parking isnt a big deal. Place is clean, host is awesome and super close to main strip on Balboa. This place is perfect!
