Great property-Great location!

Very pleased with our stay! No complaints at all! Fully stocked with all household needs, which was great! Beds were comfy and all spaces were clean. Location is ideal. Close to a street with restaurants and beaches were fairly quiet! We would definitely be back should we head back to Ventura! Thank you to the hosts for the impeccable communication!

Perfect rental and perfect location

My family and I had an AWESOME stay! We knew it would be close to the sand, but not literally seconds to the sand. It was perfect. It is perfectly located. Walking distance to ice cream, restaurants, etc. It was probably the cleanest rental we have ever been to. We had 6 people total and 1 dog. There was more than enough room. No rental is perfect, so there are only 3 things that we had "issues" with (that weren't even really issues, just inconveniences): no measuring cups in the kitchen for cooking, couldn't get the jets to work in the master bath up stairs (but the deep tub was still great for soaking), and the skylight in the upstairs master bedroom shines right on the bed in the morning with no way of blocking the sun. BUT, those 3 things are so minor there is no way we wouldn't stay here again. We 1,000x's recommend this house and can't wait for our next trip. You can tell the owner takes pride in her rentals!!!!!!

Remarkable location and very enjoyable property.

This place was absolutely perfect for our hopes. Proximity to the beach is very tough to beat and the updated property was all we could hope. Really enjoyed it and it filled our families needs well. Will attempt to return! Thanks so much.

I could sit on the front balcony all day long.

Very clean, pet friendly home with a wonderful view of the ocean! Nice bed rooms with great beds. I am a senior, so I stayed in the downstairs bedroom with only nine stairs up to the next floor where the kitchen and living rooms are located. The duplex is on a very friendly and quiet street. I would definitely stay here again. Had a wonderful time. Thank you Lisa and thank you for ask answering my questions so quickly.
