Great place in a quiet neighborhood
We stayed here for the marathon and it was the perfect home base. Very close to the beaches and state parks as well as downtown Ventura and grocery stores. The private backyard was a great place to relax post-marathon!

Really sweet little beach bungalow. The backyard was really big and nice to sit in. The neighborhood is really quiet. It’s an older home but the owners made it homey.

A home away from home
During out stay, I learned that this place was home to our host and their family prior to sharing it with visitors; a sweet sentiment. The home offered charm and comfort; qualities I was looking too when taking time to relax from the day-to-day. There was plenty of space for my party of 4 and our cat. Proximity was great too. The listing was near the wedding venue (the reason for our visit) and close enough to shops and cafes. I look forward to returning and exploring the area more.

Great location
The best thing I can say about this place is the location. It is in a well established and super quiet neighborhood that is close to everything, with a Vons literally within walking distance. It is showing its age though. I didn't find any cleaning products so it was hard to keep things clean as we went and I do have a hard time with paying a cleaning fee then having to buy cleaning products. No dishwasher and the one sponge provided was small. The shower has a curtain not a door which makes it hard keeping the floor dry so you end up using the one set of extra towels on the floor. The backyard is cute and even though you have neighbors it feels cozy and secluded. The canopy is nice for shade but don't sit under it in the rain, which we found out, because there are holes in the roof portion. There is also a travel trailer parked there too which is fine but feels a bit intrusive. We did have a nice time and we would recommend this place strictly for the peace and quiet.

Nice little house in good condition.
The house and neighborhood are very nice. the house could use a few more lights. Some of the pots were not adequately cleaned. and I never did get the TV's to work. In spite of the above, I would rent the house again because of the backyard, the neighborhood, in town location, and cleanliness.

Lovely walkable bungalow in Ventura
We were down in Ventura for a long weekend and this was the perfect place to stay. There were five adults total including one wheelchair user and Courtney was great about communicating with me beforehand on where we could plug in my brother's wheelchair to charge outside every night, so I really appreciated that! There were a few small cleanliness issues including tufts of pet hair around and some dirty dishes in the drawers/cupboards. There is no AC so it can get fairly warm during the day, but there's plenty of windows to open to get a crossbreeze during cooler parts of the day and there were fans in the bedrooms which I appreciated and always look for in homes. The neighborhood was totally walkable and we even walked to Starbucks one morning which is a 10-minute walk. There's grocery stores and really anything you could need nearby. The outdoor space at this home is wonderful. We were out visiting with family much of the time so we didn't get to utilize it as much as I would've hoped, but it's just lovely. If you need a comfortable space to stay in Ventura, I would highly recommend Courtney's place. Thanks again.

Channel Islands Fishing Trip
Husband, sons, and grandsons, with cousin who lives in area went on a charter, (caught lots of rock and white fish). I went to a few antique shops. We had a great dinner at Lure's downtown with friends. Weather was very accommodating. The bungalow is quaint and comfy. The home is equipped with all necessary amenities. Yard was perfect for our elderly shiba inu. We sat out in the evening and had a nice visit and a little bbq. Nice area and close to everything in Ventura.

family emergency
we needed immediate lodging with our dogs near Oxnard. The property was as advertised. our dogs were safe and secure. The property was very quiet. The house and yard were very clean. There were too many air fresheners, we had to unplug them and put them outside. I would stay here again if needed.

Ventura rental
This house was perfect for our stay in Ventura, conveniently located, and the hosts have been very responsive (even when I accidentally dialed them in the middle of the night, they responded well and graciously). It isn’t luxurious or newer, it's familiar, like a house I’ve lived in, with quirks and delights. There are many thoughtful touches, a wonderful private yard, in a good neighborhood, well-suited to families and visitors with dogs.

Perfect Choice for a Girlfriend Weekend
This property was the perfect choice for our girlfriend weekend. This charming mid-century home was in a prime location. It was in a quiet neighborhood close to both downtown and the beach. I especially loved sitting in the backyard destressing by listening to silence and the occasional child laughing and playing. I was able to totally unplug. Our host, Coutney, was outstanding. From the moment I booked the reservation to the variety of questions about things to do and restaurant recommendations she was quick to reply. I had a couple of questions about the house, like finding the coffee, which is located in the freezer, and she cheerfully answered. It would have helped if I fully read her welcome note where she mentioned where the coffee was. I could tell by her responses that she really cared that we had a good time. She even left me a birthday card, since I had told her it was my birthday weekend. That was very special. Thank you Courtney for a wonderful experience.
