REMODELED COTTAGE -BEST BACKYARD AREA IN PIERPONT!

(City of Ventura Permit#2157)
NO EVENTS NO PARTIES ALLOWED.

The Starfish Cottage is the perfect place to relax for your next getaway. Located in the Pierpont neighborhood of Ventura which is just west of the 101 freeway between San Buenaventura State Park and The Marina. This ideal location offers the best of Ventura.

Bike trails will take you along ocean paths to Santa Barbara or east to Ojai. Restaurants are within walking distance from The Starfish. The Marina has the best bikini store along with well established eateries.

Head across the freeway to old downtown Ventura for a great shopping or dining experience. Check out the resell shops, wine bars, and just all the wonderful locally owned businesses.

The cottage kitchen has everything you need for cooking. Our large outdoor patio is comfortable and roomy. Our home is situated on the north side - or sunny side of the lanes- so you will get nice morning breezes and afternoon sun.

Step outside the front door for a less then a 2 minute walk to the beach. All Pierpont lanes end at the State Beach.

You will love our new extra comfy king bed in the master bedroom - we splurged on the mattress and bedding. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the den has a new queen sofa sleeper. All linens are 600 count cotton sheets, pillows are the Allergen brand and we only use cotton covered down like comforters on all beds. We also provide plenty of throw blankets and extra blankets for your comfort.

An outdoor hot/cold shower is available to wash sand off yourself and your suits before going inside. A small amount of sand can clog the pipes and drains.

The kitchen is completely stocked with dishes (indoor and out) for your needs. We have a toaster, crock pot, Vitamix, Mocca Master Coffee Pot, spices, condiments and anything in the fridge is free to use.

All beach items are stored in The Tuff Shed behind the east front gate. Bikes can be stored behind the locked gate. The Shed is full of beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and other beach items that you will not have to pack.

Please contact us anytime with any questions. We love to talk Ventura!
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Terrific beach cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Starfish Cottage. The location is excellent just down the lane from the beach and great for walking around Pierpont. The house was clean and very comfortable for our family. The kitchen was well appointed and included a wonderful coffee maker. My kids loved spending time in the spacious yard and playing with some of the beach toys available in the outside shed. Bunnie was so accommodating and responsive as a host. Thank you for a great stay! We hope to come back again soon.

Location. Location. Location.

Starfish cottage is an easy place to settle into. It is a 2 minute walk to the beach and within a drive of a few minutes of downtown and the harbor. The cottage is fantastic, clean, well-stocked and just a fun and relaxing place to be. Spent 6 nights with my wife and 2 kids and we are already excited to go back. Bunnie, the host, is fantastic to communicate with and she takes pride in the cottage and the area- and it shows throughout the cottage and the overall experience of being in Pierpont. Can’t wait to get back to Ventura!!

Highly recommend

Bunnie was a terrific host. Responds to everything very quickly and gives great advice on things to do. You can tell she loves her place. The beds were so comfortable, and the linens were so soft. The kitchen was well stocked. The backyard was awesome, though we didn’t use the fireplace or anything in the shed. It was lovely to sit outside and have the smell of the jasmine. Her garden is very lovely. The house is a close walk to the beach and we walked around the neighborhood and to a park close to by. Would highly recommend. Please respect this home as if it is your own, and respect the rules. Would love to return!

Favorite stay by far!!!

I've been using VRBO for more than a decade, usually with good results. I grew up in V-Town and much of my family still lives there. Each time we come to visit, we will be (((hopefully))) staying at Starfish Cottage. This stay was EXCELLENT! 500 STARS!!! These folks were are the gold standard. Our host was thorough and attentive, keeping in touch from confirmation to check-out (respectfully, and as-needed.) The cottage was C-L-E-A-N, well appointed and so comfortable. It felt homie, but not like we were tripping through someone else's home. There were nice personal touches, but again, not overwhelmingly so. The yard was simple, well-manicured, secured for the pups and very private. There were no sad surprises here. Everything was as-advertised and then some. Our dogs were allowed, but this didn't feel, smell or look like a house with dogs in it. (We have been disappointed by houses like this before.) Bottom line: If you're looking for clean, comfortable, welcoming and unpretentious, with proximity to the beach and anywhere else you need to go, this is the spot!

Loved it all except the weather

Perfect cozy cottage with all the amenities necessary for a great beach getaway. Extra bathroom is a great luxury and the backyard space with plenty of chairs is a real bonus. On top of that a shed full of stuff to play with and you've got everything. Even though we had one of the fiercest rainstorms I've ever encountered, we stayed nice and dry inside with no flooding or pooling of water outside either. We will be back when we attempt our trip to the Channel Islands again.

A perfect beach stay

We visited for the weekend from LA with our two dogs and had the most wonderful time. Check-in was a breeze and the place was exactly as advertised. Cozy accommodations, easy drive to downtown Ventura, and best of all: a short walk to the beach. In addition, we accidentally left behind a sentimental item and our host really went above and beyond to ease our anxiety and get the item back to us. Will definitely be returning!

Christmas in Ventura

We celebrated Christmas with family that live in Ventura. This cottage was ideal for our needs. It is extremely charming with bright and beachy decorating, has a lovely backyard, and a kitchen well supplied with what you need to prepare meals. Just a very short walk to the beach where our dog loved running free! Bunny was a wonderful host, greeting us on arrival and checking on us after a day of torrential rainfall to make sure everything was running smoothly. She immediately sent a repair man over to repair some lights that were damaged during the rain. We would definitely stay here again on future trips to Ventura.

Starfish Cottage was a perfect choice for a fall getaway. The cottage is well-appointed and CLEAN, and the furniture is very comfortable for lounging! Everything you could possibly need was on hand, and the bath products (and soft water) were luxurious! Our dog loved having a backyard of her own, and the lush landscaping made a wonderful spot for reading. Communication with the host was easy, and she provided very thoughtful information about the house and the area. We'll definitely return to this cottage!!

Wonderful Beach getaway

Our family had a wonderful time at this perfect getaway beach house. It was quaint and met our needs for a little family get together. The backyard was relaxing and nicely landscaped. The beach is such a short walk and all the beach chairs, toys, etc. provided came in so handy. We also loved the convenience of local restaurants, grocery shopping, etc. just down the road. We walked to the donut shop one morning with our grandson. Big smiles for sure. Bunnie was our host and took such good care of us. Thanks for the great time as lots of fun memories were made.

Beautiful place, amazing location!

Bunnie’s house was absolutely perfect for our weekend stay in Ventura for the X Games. We were able to walk to the Ventura fairgrounds and back each day. Beds are comfy. No AC, but it’s not needed— the beach breeze keeps the house cool with the windows open. The area is quiet by 10PM, so there are no noises keeping you awake. Bunnie is very attentive as well, and could always be reached. I only gave 4 stars for cleanliness as our bed had some sand in it; it wasn’t bothersome once swept out, though. Would definitely stay here again!
