The homeowner said she rented the home for the weekend with a limit of six people inside but that neighbors called to tell her 30 people were there. She said she was on the phone ordering the tenants to leave when the collapse occurred, according to reports.
Video broadcast from the scene showed the remnants of the balcony scattered on the rocky beach.
