The location of the property was great. We never had to get into our car while we were there. Shopping and restaurants were all in walking distance. We were disappointed that the sleeper couch in the living room was not the one we saw in the listing. Instead it was a standard pull out couch that was not very comfortable. The place was very sandy when we arrived and we had a toilet that ran unless it was jiggled. The grill was dirty and not operable so we had to adjust our cooking plans one night. Overall, we enjoyed our vacation but according to the listing we thought we had nicer accommodations.

The location of this property is prime. It was steps away from the beach and the cute little town of Pierpont was conveniently located nearby with all the stores and restaurants. The house was stocked with all the necessities even for my dog. I did find that the bedroom downstairs was not as clean as I would have liked with the floors needing some cleaning.. Literally within 10 minutes of notifying management a cleaner was there to take care of the cleaning. I was extremely impressed and pleased.

We had a great time. Everything was great at the house, it was clean, beds were comfortable, check-in was easy. We were lucky to have had great weather during our stay. It was a quick walk around the corner to the restaurants and to the market. I appreciate Lisa and Morgan's willingness to take care of any issues that may have arose, but we didn't need anything

Ventura beach townhouse

The property was fine overall and very clean. There are a few things we didn't like. There was only one chair in the living room and it shows 2 in the picture. The coffee pot dribbled and there are no grab bars in the bath tub. Our host Lisa was extremely difficult to get ahold of. I had to ask her twice for our entry codes and when I emailed about a large ceiling texture problem in the garage she didn't respond at all. It looked like there had been a water leak recently and the ceiling drywall just finally gave way. The location was great and we did have a very nice time over all. We would not rent this again though due to all the stairs. I didn't realize that you had to go upstairs to the 2nd master bedroom. It would be nice to have an icemaker also.

Relaxing Beach House Vacation!

Our family travelled from 2 other states to visit with family in Ventura for Thanksgiving, and this was the perfect beach house getaway! Those who stayed in the beach house loved falling asleep to the waves at night and everyone totally enjoyed stepping right out the door to walk on the beach or sitting on the balcony or beach-front chairs to watch surfers, sunsets, pelicans, and dolphins. The host was so accommodating and provided everything you could possibly need including beach towels, an outdoor faucet by the front door to rinse your feet, outdoor shower, outdoor patio, all kitchen amenities, huge comfy beds, and 3 bathrooms! Checkout was the easiest, most stress-free of any place we’ve ever stayed. We can’t wait to come back and stay there again!
