Seaside Hideaway in Mussel Shoals

Welcome to Seaside Hideaway — a beautifully designed ground floor coastal retreat just steps from a serene sandy beach and a world-class surf break in Ventura. With all the designer touches, a spacious private deck with a hot tub and BBQ, and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, this is Southern California living at its finest. Perfect for a month-long escape where you can truly unwind and settle in. 🌊



The space

🛏️ Primary Bedroom

A relaxing king bed with a closet to hang your clothes — your own peaceful sanctuary after a day at the beach.



🛏️ Bedroom 2

A comfortable queen bed with a closet — cozy and inviting for a restful night's sleep.



🛁 Bathroom

One bathroom located in the hallway between the two bedrooms, featuring a tub shower, sink, and toilet. An outdoor shower is also available — perfect for rinsing off after the beach or hot tub. Stocked with towels, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.



📺 Living Room

Bright and breezy with sliding glass doors that let in the ocean air. Settle into the couch and stream your favorites on the smart TV (Netflix and other streaming services).



🍴 Dining

The kitchen dining table seats 4. Head out to the patio and you'll find a large outdoor dining table seating 6–8 — perfect for meals al fresco with a view.



🍳 Kitchen

A fully stocked open kitchen with cups, plates, pots, pans, and all your cooking essentials. A drip coffee maker is provided along with complimentary Starbucks coffee and half and half.



🧺 Garage & Laundry

The garage is shared with the upstairs unit and is where the washer and dryer are located. Laundry detergent is not provided for long-term stays — please bring your own. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys are also stored in the garage for your use. Please keep the garage door closed when not in use.



🌊 Beach & Outdoors

The home is just a block from the beach — tide pools and a surf break to the left, a sandy beach straight ahead. We're happy to provide towels, umbrellas, beach chairs, and toys for all your beach needs. Towels are in the living room and chairs and toys are in the garage.



Step outside to your private deck featuring a hot tub, BBQ, and outdoor dining table — all exclusively for your use during your stay. ♨️



🚗 Parking

Two parking spaces are available directly in front of the garage. The rest of the driveway is reserved for the upstairs unit.



📶 WiFi

High-speed WiFi throughout the unit. The password can be found in the Welcome Book inside the home.



📷 Safety & Cameras

For guest safety, there are 2 cameras in the driveway and a sound monitoring device in the living room. The device does not record sound — it only detects if sound levels exceed a certain decibel limit to prevent parties.



Guest access

🔑 Check-in & Guest Access

The downstairs unit and private patio are all yours — make yourself at home! Just a heads up — a few areas are off limits: the bike in the garage and the upstairs rooftop. Please don't venture up the pink spiral staircase, as the upstairs unit is a separate rental.

We're always just a phone call or message away if you need anything during your stay!

Cute

Very cute and comfortable place to stay, snuggled in between Santa Barbara and Ventura with lots of surrounding areas to check out in either direction. The best part was opening the sliding door and hearing the waves crash. The hot tub was nice way to end the day as well.

Don't stay for the hot tub - it doesn't work, they know it, and they won't tell you. Isolated area.

I purposely noted in my booking that we were staying SPECIFICALLY for the hot tub and I needed to be sure it worked. It didn't work, and they knew this way ahead of time. The only thing that worked was the heat and 4 of the 50+ jets in the tub on the back wall where you couldn't even sit. It was also filthy, full of some sort of hair - probably a dog, and sand all over the bottom. They came the second day we were there, under the pretense of looking at the hot tub, but all they did was wipe up the dog hair we strained from the water and left on the tub, and dumped more chlorine into it, which only resulted in a nasty slick extra foaming on the surface of the water. Owners knew the tub wasn't working when I booked, said nothing because they knew once I got there it would be too late. I know this because they admitted they knew a "few" jets weren't functioning. Only 4 out of 50+ jets working is not a "few" dysfunctional jets. That is more than 90% of the tub not working. Then they tried to use the excuse that we were there "right after the high season" ... so I guess somehow it's our fault for being dumb enough to book a beach house after the "high season"??? All replies to my complaints were polite and given same day, however it was just a series of polite "We're sorry you're disappointed, but it's not our fault, we hope you enjoyed your stay and will come again". :-/ Don't book if you want the tub. Area is isolated. Permanent neighbors are rude.

Quiet hideaway

My mom and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfy! Very clean, the kitchen was ready for whatever you wanted to do. Instructions are clear and simply. We were so close to the sea. It was literally around the corner. Could not really see it but loved listening to the waves at night. We have no complaints but if we could change anything it would to put something on the bathroom window. We literally people watch while showering. Lastly the photos of the front room are accurate BUT at night we didn't realize there was nothing to cover them at night. I would clearly state there is nothing on those glass walls at any time. Prudes like us kept watching the windows of surrounding houses to see if they could see up. We never felt comfortable walking in the main room without being fully dressed. That is not a complaint, just a opinion. :) I hope we can come back. I slept soooo good. thank you for being great hosts
