Vacation rentals in Balboa District

I loved staying at Villa Gemini, a super quiet, comfortable, pleasant place, close to restaurants, no noise around it, excellent location and easy access. The host was attentive to everything, responded quickly and was super friendly.

Casa Ken is a fantastic spot! The pool and outdoor area is amazing. Spotlessly clean and comfy beds too!! Maurice is an excellent host, full of tips and very accommodating. Jean who takes care of the property is an absolute gent! He also couldn’t have been more helpful and is an absolute asset to Casa Ken. He made sure our stay was as pleasant as possible too. Contadora island is beautiful, quiet and idyllic. I recommend renting a golf buggy whilst there at $100 for a day. One day is probably enough as the island isn’t very big. Make sure you bring ample cash too as there are no ATM’s on the island. Also, Restaurante Angelina does great food!

The villa is of very good quality, well maintained with recent high-end amenities. The photos do not honor the villa. Maurice and Jean are very responsive and do everything to make the stay as pleasant as possible. We enjoyed the stay!

. I would stay here again. Beautiful beach less than a minute walk, other beach 5 minute walk. Also have an outdoor shower which is nice to use before walking into unit. Not much of a pool so nobody used it. Wish they had more kitchen utensils and a broom to sweep sand in unit. Floor slippery when wet be careful. Store onsite which was real convenient. Host got someone to pick us up at ferry and take us back. Let us check in early and check out late to coincide with ferry. Host recommended someone for golf cart unit. $85 for 24 hours two seater,and they brought a junker with bad steering. I complained and got a slightly better one. Great stay. Not much on island so 3 nights is plenty

Christine was very friendly, responsive and flexible. Our family traveled with a 2 month old baby and a toddler. Host provided pictures of the place in advance and also accommodated a pack and play for us. The listing we stayed at was modern, had a small kitchenette and a mini fridge. The AC was working wonders for the hot summer days. The food at the place was delicious and needs to be ordered in advance. Jane, Juan and Bryan all were helpful at the place. The place has other rooms rented for other hosts, pool is shared. The pool might not be for babies but really not needed with the wonderful beach. There are a lot of stairs to get to the beach to take into consideration when going with kids. The hosts put up some shade daily, we had a blast. Cleaning was done daily and we had fresh towels too. Wonderful experience. The island itself is expensive so the place can be pricey but overall worth the money. Bring groceries from the city as island can be expensive and short on food.

A bit rustic but had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Air conditioning was wonderful and the kitchen was fully equipped. Location was excellent, short walk to the ferry, the beach, and the grocery. Elena was always available by message if we needed anything and was very helpful arranging taxis and marina services.

We had an amazing stay at Hanik and Eran’s piece of paradise. We spent time trying to figure out how it could be better, and were unable to do so. The attention to detail, the tranquility, and hosts who truly care about making your experience the best it can be are just a few things that made this experience stand out. We are already trying to figure out the next time we will be able to go back and stay there again, and will definitely recommend it to our family and friends.

The apartments were clean, the beach was literally 1 minute away! The pool was amazing and the communication was smooth. Definitely would return!
