ON THE SAND - Incredible Beachfront Location and Awesome Ocean View w\/ Elevator!
About this house rental
Nestled in Oxnard, this charming house for $1,196 per night is a great option for your next trip. ON THE SAND! The Dolphin on the Strand, where the OCEAN IS YOUR BACKYARD! DIRECT BEACH ACCESS. A haven that NESTLES DIRECTLY on the SANDY SHORES, providing UNINTERRUPTED BEACH ACCESS. We invite up to ten guests to enjoy our family's primary home with an elevator. A perfect retreat for relaxation and seaside dreams. Imagine STEPPING STRAIGHT FROM YOUR DOOR onto the SOFT, WELCOMING SAND, where every sunrise and sunset is an event, and the SOOTHING RHYTHM of the waves serenade you at The Dolphin! It has been our pleasure to offer the Dolphin on the Strand for your vacation travel! We are re-opening for the summer 2024! The Dolphin can accommodate up to ten people overnight. The well-equipped gourmet kitchen will make meal prep easy and fun. Kayaks, boards, beach toys, and games offer something for everyone. SLEEPING (3rd Floor: 3 Bedrooms; Ground Floor: 1 Bedroom) The romantic third-floor master suite offers a four-poster light-blocking canopy bed (pillow-top Cal-king mattress), a shimmery mosaic-tiled fireplace (gas direct-vent furnace), sitting areas, floor-to-ceiling windows with expansive ocean views, and an intimate beach balcony (our favorite at sunset!). The master bath area features a jet tub for two, a glass-enclosed double shower with adjustable wands, two sinks set in a granite countertop with ample cabinets, an armoire, and a large mirror to reflect the blue ocean. The master sitting area includes a trundle bed that pulls out to form two twin beds. Take a short walk down the hall on the smooth hardwood floor to find two sunny rooms furnished with queen beds, side tables, and a desk. Each bedroom closet has ample space. A full bathroom next door holds plenty of towels above its granite-topped vanity. The glass-enclosed shower has a handheld adjustable spray wand. The ground floor master bedroom is cozy and quiet. It has a firm California King-sized bed, side tables, and a set of cabinets. Plantation shutters open to reveal a lovely beach view. A separate full bathroom is five steps away (with a glass-enclosed porcelain-tiled shower-adjustable wand- and a fully-stocked linen cabinet). In seconds, you could be out the door and jogging along the strand before your morning “cuppa”. MAKING MEALS (2nd Floor: Kitchen, Dining Room) The beautiful second floor gourmet kitchen makes mealtime easy! Bring your favorite coffee beans for the burr or blade grinder, then make the brew using our filtered water in the 1-to-14-cup coffee maker, or steep it in a French press. Black and herb teas are also available, as are basic spices. The five-burner cooktop and double ovens accommodate brunches large or small, and the microwave oven stands ready for quick tasks. Appliances include a bread/bagel toaster, Oster blender, Cuisinart food processor, panini press/griddle, crockpot, cake mixer, and handheld blender. It’s quick work to serve a smoothie, a chopped salad, or a crockpot dinner. An 18/8 stainless steel double sink is central to the granite-topped work island containing the silent dishwasher (pods provided), near the side-by-side refrigerator (automatic ice maker). As for tools, you will find good knives, cookware, and bakeware. Choose from assorted dishes to set the oval table elegantly or casually. It seats eight to ten people. Feel free to select paper plates and plastic forks; we won’t judge. Check the walk-in pantry for basics and disposables. The elevator will bring up your groceries; it transports ice chests and luggage as well as people. If you want to cook outdoors, the gas grill in the garage can be easily wheeled out to the beachside sun deck for a great BBQ. Nearby, the younger ones can dig tunnels and build sand castles while the meat is sizzling. Several beach chairs and cotton mats provide instant seating for an al fresco lunch. REST & RECREATION (2nd Floor: Living & Family Rooms; Ground floor: Garage & Deck) On bright days, enjoy ocean views from the floor-to-ceiling windows, plus a concrete porch (off of the dining area) with direct access through the sliding glass door to the downstairs sun deck, sandy beach, surf, and outdoor hot shower. You could take a nap on one of the couches inside, or catch some rays out on the deck. Keep an eye on the ocean horizon and you may spot a whale fluke. Sample a novel from the glass-front living room bookcase while sipping iced tea, or snuggle on the sectional sofa to enjoy a Blu-ray movie on the 52” widescreen TV and feel free to log into your accounts. The family room has plenty of space to assemble a floor puzzle with the three-year-old or to play board games and munch snacks with the whole gang. We hope you spend several days enjoying the water! The garage contains two surfboards (lessons available), six boogie boards, one single kayak, and two double kayaks with carts. We have two men’s short wetsuits and one woman's thin suit if you need them.(Wetsuit rental available nearby) We launch at Hobie Beach, just beyond the kiddie beach. You could try your ocean kayak balance among the waves of Silver Strand Beach. For those who prefer calm water, kayaking the harbor is fine. Surfing and boogie-boarding are also great, and wave-jumping (no equipment needed) is always popular. For the more pedestrian, nothing beats that sunset stroll with little sandpipers rolling in and out along the shore at day’s end. In the afterglow, throw on a hoodie and bring out the fire ring: place it on the sand, fill it with wood, and light it. You could gather ‘round to sing (use the guitar) and tell stories. Enjoy hot drinks and a roasted marshmallow or fruit kabob. Don’t miss the night sky! It can be magnificent! For little tykes two bicycles are available with helmets. On the rare chilly night, the lovely living room fireplace (gas direct-vent furnace) will keep you warm. CONNECTION If you need to check email or settle the answer to that Trivia question, the Dolphin has WiFi. As for music, the multi-room speakers are ready for your plug-in device and cable, or you could ask Alexa to play some songs on Amazon Fire Stick TV. Watch movies on Netflix or Disney + GARAGE: Laundry and Off-Street Parking If you want to go home with clean laundry, the ground floor hallway leads to the garage, equipped with a HE washer & gas dryer (unscented laundry pods are provided). One car may fit inside the garage and four more (double-parked) may fit in the driveway. OUT AND ABOUT The Dolphin is centrally located for dining out, shopping, sight-seeing, sailing, paddle-boating, island excursions, water sport lessons, evening entertainment, an escape room, and museum trips, to name a few of the things to do. You may choose to immerse yourself in local activities, making memories as you go, or to sit quietly, gazing at the uncluttered horizon and taking in ocean breezes. Whatever your choice, the Dolphin on the Strand awaits.

Perfect getaway!
Absolutely the best experience at the best property. The location was perfectly located...on the beach and a short walk to the harbor and restaurants. The house had everything you could ever imagine, want or need! Our family loved our stay and would love to come back again! The owners were so hospitable, even having a welcome bag for our arrival. Thank you!

Perfect Pandemic Getaway
We stayed with our adult sons and their girlfriends. Even though we live only an hour away, the 8-day experience was actually life changing after being cooped up for 6 months. Everything about the house was perfect - location right on the sand, views from the house, incredibly equipped kitchen and garage full of surfboards, boogie boards, kayaks, bikes, firepit etc....plus lots to do inside - guitar, puzzles, games, etc. House was spotless and communication with the owner was flawless. Fantastic Mexican and Japanese groceries nearby - we made our own sushi one night. We have rented villas, houses and apts all over the world and this was a standout.

Amazing beach getaway
We spent the week at Lars and Breet's gorgeous beach front home and it couldn't have been a better stay. First, the owners were very communicative and had informative attachments to help us prepare for our stay. I appreciated the keyless entry as it made getting into the home so easy. Breet even let us know when the cleaning crew was done an hour early and let us check in a little early which was very nice. When we walked into the home we were all floored by how gorgeous and spacious it was and the views out of the huge living room and master bedroom are fantastic. The house is very well stocked, with everything you could need in the kitchen and I love how organized things were and how drawers were labelled so that things stayed organized. As far as beach toys there was everything you could want for a fun filled week at the beach from chairs, to a couple of nice bikes, to boogie boards and sand toys. The location truly can't be beat. Silver Strand is a little slice of heaven. A couple of times we even kayaked over to the little beach area on the other side of the inlet and got acai bowls. Thank you for all of the attention to details and for sharing your amazing home with us. It was a wonderful week, relaxing with family.

Dream views and vacation
We felt like we were staying in a five-star hotel. The place was so clean and stocked with any and all necessary items for a family to vacation comfortably. We made use of all the fantastic sports equipment they graciously lend to guests. We had a little issue with the fridge when we first arrived, and Lars immediately responded to my text to problem solve. Look no further when booking a beachfront property in Oxnard.

This house far exceeded our expectations. We had an amazing two weeks here. The house is spacious, well laid out, perfectly appointed, and very well organized. Lots of beach equipment available for our enjoyment. And the location is just phenomenal.
Lars was responsive and very helpful.
My only issue was with the WiFi - it was intermittent and very difficult to do work with (I had to work while we were staying there, so needed to have reliable connection). I ended up having my office ship me a mifi router to use, which helped immensely.
A minor complaint - but good to know if you require good wifi. Otherwise was an awesome stay! I definitely will go back!
Thank you Lars and Breet!

Magical holiday at the Dolphin!!
This property is even more gorgeous than the pics in VRBO. There wasn’t anything we needed for our stay that wasn’t included except food!! We wanted to celebrate Christmas and my husband 71st birthday - we had family & friends visiting and everyone loved the views and location, right on the beach. We watched people surfing & paddle boarding (it was a bit too chilly for us) but this home included all the beach fun toys. We really need to rent this home in the spring or summer.
This home is so relaxing ... my husband & I had it all to ourselves the last day - just sitting and watching the ocean waves and people watching was so magical!! Thank you for sharing this home w/ us!!

What an amazing, fully equipped house!
We rented the Dolphin house for a long weekend for our Mother’s 74th birthday. The house is amazing! The hosts were great! The house had absolutely everything we could have ever needed. And the location was stunning. We also operate a Vrbo, and have a special appreciation for the attention to detail by the owners. I highly recommend this stunning property. It has a fantastic layout for a family vacation. Very comfortable and fully equipped. I would stay here again any time. Perfect for kids! Thanks Breet and Lars!

Beach 🌸 house BLISS
The location is great. Very quiet beach. This is a very well stocked home. The beds are comfortable. This home is extremely organized with every attention to detail. We had a group that ranged in age from 7 weeks old to 65 years old. We were all cozy. This home is a home run rental property.

Amazing Home with Magnificent Views
This house was amazing. The views from the second and third floor were magnificent. Being able to walk right off the patio and be on the beach, with a short walk to the water, cannot be beat. The kitchen was equipped with excellence. The beds and linens were comfortable. The couches and chairs were also well placed and very comfortable. Did I mention that it was immaculate? It was -- most important to me. The toys provided in the garage for water play were so much appreciated. Check in was easy and we welcomed the keyless entry. One can be assured that the pictures of this rental do not lie -- would go so far as to say, the pictures cannot do this home justice. We have previously experienced less-than-truthful renderings of a rental but definitely not this case. We had 6 adults and 2 children and the space was plentiful. This host/hostess takes great pride in their home and provisioning their home and we thoroughly appreciated everything.

Best vacation ever!
This home was beyond our expectations! Every room was decorated beautifully and the view of the ocean was magnificent! We cooked almost every night because we did not want to leave this beautiful home. It was equipped with everything that you could think of from a gourmet kitchen to an awesome bike that was used by all of us to explore the neighborhood. Breet and Lars were by far Super Hosts. Their explanation to their home and how it worked made it easy for us to navigate and they were available for any questions we had. We are already trying to figure when we can return to this this amazing house! BEST VACATION EVER!
