The view was amazing. I slept with the window open and fell asleep and woke up to the sound of the ocean. A little tricky to get on and off the fwy… but worth it. So quaint and relaxing. Like a mini Hawaii vacation

Ocean visible from room. Due to shared parking with restaurant, it is somewhat an issue. Second time staying here. Second time dealing with power outage and internet issues. Guests sat outside until 7:30 when power was restored. Some guests reported that power went out at 10:30 a.m. we checked in after 3:00 and was told the power was out but expected to be back on any minute! Obviously, that was not the case. Front desk staff does not seem able to handle these issues. Cleaning staff and restaurant staff friendly. Pool is heated but temp is too high. Not refreshing! It’s a nice place if you want to get away and relax but be prepared for anything!

GREAT ocean views, but not much else.

Amazing views of ocean. Pool was nice and warm, but also next to restaurant diners (so not private). Nice breakfast, but no salt available. No elevator, and very limited parking. Far from Ventura downtown/city and other restaurants, but not too far from Carpinteria [10 to 15 min drive]. But if you are looking for ocean views and quiet, this place is great. No stores within walking distance, so you need a car, or bring your own snacks!
