We loved this house. Comfortable for a family vacation with extended family, whimsically decorated, and walking distance to the beach and canals. We cooked in, BBQ'ed, walked to local restaurants, biked to the Farmer's Market in addition to boogie boarding, paddle boarding, surfing and more. this house has all the play equipment you'd need and a warm outdoor shower! We would definitely reccommend this house and area. We loved Pierpont Beach and Ventura.

My family came to Ventura 1 week before my daughter's beach wedding. We prepared for the wedding at this beautiful beach house with a lot of amenities. We made time to use the boogie boards, surfboards, and ride bicycles that are provided and enjoy the ocean breeze which is walking distance from this beautiful home the home owners were more than gracious and helpful at any request. we got everything together for the wedding at the house and it was the most wonderful time in our lives we are so blessed to have been able to use this house I would recommend it to anyone.. added bonus was that the neighbor Julie was also wonderful so it made it feel like home...

We absolutely loved staying in this home! The home is beautifully appointed and well maintained. We loved all the extras! The paddle boards, boogie boards, and bikes were put to good use. The kitchen is very well stocked for a VRBO home. There where many, many spices and a large variety of cooking and serving ware. We slept our family of 6 extremely comfortably and could have accommodated an overnight guest or two comfortably. We hosted a BBQ for about 40 people and never felt crowded using both the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The Beach House restaurant and taco stand are fantastic! They are a short drive by car or a great bike ride away! We loved the location of the home. There is a Vons literally around the corner as well as a Starbucks and yummy little donut shop. Susan and Jimmy have thought of everything to make your stay just about perfect right down to the goo-be-gone to get the beach tar off your feet. Thank you Lees for making our vacation superb! It felt like home. We hope to come again!

We had a fabulous stay in Ventura. The home is just as the picture describe. Amazing location. Very clean. We loved the outside shower to wash off after the beach. Just like being at home on vacation. We used the bikes and beach toys they have available at the home. Can't wait to come back again.

Even though we live in CT now, my parents grew up in the little town of Los Alamos about an hour north of Ventura so I am very familiar with the area. This is the perfect family beach house getaway. We have stayed in 3 different HomeAway homes in Ventura and this one is far and away the best. There are bikes to ride, boogie boards, surfboards to use, and the beach is only few minutes walk. The house was immaculately designed and comfortable for our family of 4. The grocery store Vons and Starbucks are only one block away which is very convenient. We made several day trips to Santa Barbara which has an awesome zoo for kids and our favorite Mexican restaurant, Los Agaves. We also went to our favorite beach, Refugio State Beach, about 45 minutes north. The house has everything you need including washer/dryer, BBQ, plenty of cooking supplies, etc... The beds and furniture are very comfortable and the nights were very quiet for sleeping. Neighbors were also friendly. Owners were very responsive and provided all necessary information we needed for fantastic vacation.

We rented this well-appointed, cozy beach home over New Years week with several friends (ages 27-32) and our 1 year-old son. Everyone agreed that of the dozens of places we looked at for the week, we landed in the perfect spot. I highly recommend it. Rent this place and you'll feel like a local. The home is nestled in a lovely neighborhood with an easy walk to the beach, restaurants and parks. At the beach we felt like neighbors, not tourists. The home is well-appointed and feels "lived in" (books, games, spices, etc) -- not sterile like some vacation home rentals. The hosts communicated well and were very accommodating - they went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed for our infant (a crib, a high chair) and even lined up some babysitting options for us if we wanted it. Prompt in returning our security deposit, too. The accommodations for children (including the playground, bunk beds, children's books and games) make this home incredibly well suited for family travel, but our friends without kids loved it just as much. I don't know the area that well (traveled in from Ohio), but the neighborhood seemed perfect to us and also got the thumbs up from one of our guests who is a lifelong resident of the area. He felt this was a great spot for a vacation rental. To offer a balanced opinion: the only challenges we had were 1) moderating the temperature in the house -- couldn't quite get the thermostat to keep a comfortable warmth on the cool nights (goldilocks syndrome - too hot or too cold) and 2) the dishwashing machine actually made the dishes dirtier at times (I think maybe a water pressure or hard water issue? They seemed to be aware of it and provided a pre-wash rinse of some sort). But these were very minor inconveniences in an otherwise great stay. I'm in the midst of booking another trip (to another location right now) and I know how exhausting it can be to sort through VRBO listings. If this one is in your price range, you're interested in Ventura/Ventura Keys area, and a cozy craftsman home (family friendly) a couple of blocks off of the beach sounds good to you, don't drive yourself crazy searching for more options, just go with this one. I think you'll be glad you did.

My family came from Canada for their first California Christmas and because our home in Ventura was too small, we had to find somewhere else for them to stay, but wanted a house rather than a hotel as it seemed more personal. This house did not disappoint! The location is perfect - one block from the beach, close to grocery stores and local eateries. The house itself is in excellent shape, well taken care of and feels so private - and was VERY quiet. My family had everything they needed to enjoy a Christmas away from home and I was pleased that everyone was comfortable and happy. Both the owners and property manager were very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Our family had the best time in Ventura and at this beautiful home. It was an ideal location.....walking distance to the grocery store, restaurants and Starbucks. My cousin lived nearby so the bikes came in handy. The owners were extremely helpful. I would definitely rent this place again. Thank you!!

Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Ventura, just a couple of blocks from the ocean. The location is ideal, near shops , freeway, beach, harbor, and downtown Ventura. The house was beautifully decorated and comfortable to accommodate our family of all ages. We appreciated the watersports equipment and bicycles. I would highly recommend to choose this home as your next getaway to beautiful Ventura---located about 50 miles north of L.A.

Really enjoyed our stay @ this great beach home. Owners were wonderful to work w/ & the house was as advertised... Only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer!

Our family recently rented this beach home. It was a great fit for us. We had children in our group and the backyard is equipped with a play set. The backyard also has a gas barbecue and umbrella shaded picnic table making it a perfect outdoor living space. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen had most items needed for meal preparation, and there were plenty of things for outdoor fun, including bikes, a kayak, surf and boogie boards, and a paddle board. The beach is within walking distance as well as a grocery store and restaurants. We highly recommend this property. The Owner went out of their way to meet our needs and ensure our vacation went smooth.

The pictures may look great but it was even more perfect for our big family trip than we imagined. The homeowners were very organized and thoughtful. They knew we had four young children so they borrowed a wagon for our stay. Having a kid friendly environment filled with kids toys and many books made for a relaxing and fun vacation with our little ones. The warm outdoor shower, enclosed front area, beautiful backyard, and numerous entertaining spaces were the highlight amenities for us. It is a clean and organized beach house that feels like our own dream home! We're looking forward to next years visit!!

My family rented this lovely beach home for one week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The home is exactly as it's advertised and comes with everything you could need or want. An easy two block walk to a fantastic beach, the house is in a great location. Owners are very easy, pleasant, responsive, and professional. We plan to return!

Very well-stocked beach house located a block from the beach in an attractive, family-oriented neighborhood. The three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are ample, and tastefully furnished. House is equipped with everything needed for a beach vacation, including a large outdoor barbecue and umbrella dining table that seats 8. Only negative is the absence of a real closet in the master bedroom.

House was awesome for the price! 2 minute bike ride to beach. Having the bikes, boogie boards, surfboards and beach chairs at your disposal was key. Also, the outside shower was excellent for the kids to get rinsed off after day at beach. Owners were great to deal with and house was well maintained and very nice inside. The only issues we had were the "futon" mattress in the second bedroom left something to be desired. There was huge separation between top and bottom section which made it difficult for two adults to sleep on it. The house was also pretty hot when we returned to it in evening time, so we had to go buy a couple small fans to put in windows. Sure we came the one week that anyone in Ventura would need AC! Great vacation, though! Thanks Lees!

We had an outstanding time in this lovely home in Ventura, CA. The home is beautifully decorated and well maintained. The Kitchen is equipped with just the right appliances and nice pots and pans to cook with. We loved using the beach cruisers & boogie boards. The local grocery store and Starbucks is just around the corner - super convenient. The Lee's were super easy to work with. . A nice sleepy town, family friendly and beautiful downtown Ventura a couple of miles away. We would definitely rent here again if we come back to Ventura.
