Big Relaxing Beach House 3 Bedrooms and a loft, less than 500 steps to the sand!
About this house rental
This is a 3,500 square foot home located in Mandalay Shores in the City of Oxnard Shores. It is a great home for a large family or multiple families to come and stay. It is a short 5 minute walk to the beach or a short drive to Ventura or Santa Barbara or even Malibu. Our names are Mike and Kristen, and we are excited to welcome you to our home, perfect for small, calm weekends or big family celebrations. The house is full of old memories and new appliances, both of which we hope to share with you! From one of our most recent reviews: Amazing location, sparkling clean, huge space with ample gathering area for large families. Great amenities, didn’t find ourselves searching or without anything we needed! Would highly recommend! From another one of our guest comments: “For families or groups looking for house to share that is within short walking distance from any beach - anywhere along the southern California coast - you will be hard-pressed to find one as good as this one, for the value, location, and quality of the house. Mike and Kristen's house is a 5-10 minute walk from the Pacific, on a beach that was not too terribly crowded over the Fourth of July holiday. Oxnard itself has a wide variety of restaurants (seafood!) and is a wonderful place to stay - and it's not too terribly far from LA. As for the house itself - we had a party of 9 and we slept comfortably. Just some particulars - the ground floor has one of the three bedrooms in the house and two bathrooms (which is helpful if you have mobility-challenged folks in your party). There is also - as many others have noted - a fabulous game room with an arcade, pool table, and FoozBall. On the second level is the kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and two more bathrooms. On the third level is a loft, perfect for young kids who want to have their own play and sleeping area. As noted in the listing, there is ample street parking, and room for two cars in their garage. Finally, Mike and Kristen are fabulous hosts. Their house is well-stocked with all the supplies you might need (including beach chairs, towels and sand toys - thank you!). They also answered all of my questions promptly and were great to work with. Our family had an enjoyable reunion together at this property, and we believe your family will, too. Thanks very much, guys!”

California Beaches
My family traveled from the east coast and enjoyed a great California vacation! The house was located a short walk from the beaches. Everything went well and we had no issues with the rental. The location was perfect with the beaches not too crowded and the area had plenty to do along with plenty of quality restaurants to choose from. I highly recommend this rental for families looking for a getaway!

This property exceed expectations!
This was the perfect house for a small family reunion. The house was so spacious, including the bedrooms, and felt very much like a home. The kitchen has anything and everything you could want. The pictures on the site do not do justice to how perfect this house is. Thank you to the Wise family for making this the perfect place for a family gathering.

Very spacious! It was just my husband and I and our two children, and you can tell there is a lot of room for multiple families to share. Our kids loved the game room and we all enjoyed the convenient location to shops/restaurants and the luxury of being a block away from the beach.
Based on the listing, we were let down by the lack of special touches. The kitchen supplies are in great need of being updated (mismatched & Christmas dishes/decor), scratched pots and pans (with minimal options), and very disorganized cabinets and drawers made it difficult to find items we needed and cook a meal. We were disappointed to find there was only a left over bag of coffee with not even enough for one cup. Also, broken boogie boards and bikes meant we were left wishing we brought our own. No welcome message or other special touch to greet us. The owner is very quick to respond, however not the most warm in his communication.
Overall, we had a nice time away with our kids and it is tough to beat the location of this beach house.

What a great property for having a family gathering. We were able to have my mom who is 99, my immediate family and my brother and sister stay at the home. My son graduated from cal state Channel Islands and we had a fabulous celebration with my in-laws from Utah and uncle from Nevada. So much room! The bedrooms were comfortable. I loved my walks on the beach each night. Very quiet neighborhood. Close to stores and walking distance to bottle shop and pizza. Would love to come back again. Just a huge fabulous house. Great trip! Great memories were had by all.

Great time with three families staying, and plenty of room for our extended family’s Wednesday evening pre Thanksgiving gathering. Lots to do for all ages. Some repairs to the guest bathroom are in order. Also, be sure to prop open the balcony door or you’ll lock yourself out. Otherwise, a great experience. Thank you!

We had an 11 night stay at this beautiful home. My husband and I and seven children checked in and were pleasantly surprised by all the extra amenities. We loved that there were boogie boards, surfboards and beach toys. The garage was big enough for two vehicles front to back, The game room was top notch, house was very clean and very spacious. It was exactly as described being very close to the beach, the beds were comfortable, and the master shower was extra large. We could not have asked for a better house. The day after checking in our lives changed, as my husband unexpectedly passed away in a snorkeling accident at the beach. The Wise family went above and beyond, they were sympathetic, kind and giving in our situation. We were so grateful for the love that was shown to us during this time of loss. Our family vacation turned into a 10 day planning process to get my husband back home to Alaska, family was able to gather and make arrangements with plenty of space for them, and we spent time consoling my children in this wonderful home. The house was perfect for the situation we were in as it made us all feel very much at home at a time when we could have felt very displaced. Thank you for your beautiful home and generosity. I would highly recommend this location for any traveler.

The house was great. They had all you need there for a beach vacation. They need some minor attention given to the place as we were there at the end of the summer. The house was about 24 houses to the beach so when having a group go down to the beach we packed up the car and took our stuff down. Plenty of parking. Near a lot of things to do, stores,restaraunts etc. Great time! Thanks

This was a great house! A really close walk to the beach too! However there is no backyard only a small front yard so if you want to spend time outside you have to just go the beach. The owner was always in communication but he was a little too overbearing at times. Overall it was a great house but I won’t rent from him again.

Beautiful home that had everything we needed. Beach is walking distance, we went on a Saturday afternoon and there were hardly any people there. Would stay here again! Only one minor thing, o e of the beds on the first floor squeaks a lot, hard not to make noise and wake up our roommate. Not anything that impacted the entire visit or us staying here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

We have rented through VRBO for years now and this property by far is one of the best homes we’ve ever stayed at! We had a total of 4 adults and 7 children, and there was PLENTY of room for everyone! Also a deal breaker for us is to be within walking distance to the beach, this place is maybe a 5 minute walk to the sand. We are definitely coming back and hope to turn this into an annual trip with family! The owners are great hosts and very easy to communicate with. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We scheduled for a yearly immediate family ahead before covid and was happy we did get to meet up despite the situation. We took precaution by wearing out masks and the cousins had space to play board games, pool table, and video games together. The beach was the best part! Kitchen was equip for us to have a home cooked meals. Thank you Wise family for sharing your beautiful home!
