A historical tour of Balboa Peninsula is a must. You can still enjoy the seafood and sea views stretching for miles at the original Ruby's Diner. Strolling down Main Street takes you to the Balboa Pavilion, which was a famous haunt for the Big Bands of the thirties and forties. Count Basie and Benny Goodman were among the names who performed here. The bright Ferris wheel is eighty years old too.
This charming house has some amazing features that were unique and created a nice ambiance. For instance, the courtyard, the separate casita the number of en-suite rooms. The two major drawbacks were that you couldn't see the water from the first floor and the house doesn't have many windows that open. In the master bedroom, we could not get any airflow with the natural air from outside, and it felt a little bit like a potential hazard. Overall though, it was a great experience. Kudos to the cleaning people they found a driver's license and sent it to us.
