We rented this home for a short time, and although the walls had some impressive decorations, the actual furniture left much to be desired. We have rented four homes on the coast, two in Ventura and two up near Pismo beach. This home far and away was not a favorite and we would like to explain why. 1. The furniture was incredibly old, and a fold-out bed on the third floor? Thought this was cheap, the linens were worn and torn. The pillows were disgusting with stains and odors. The outdoor furniture was crawling with spiders. The bar stools were unstable. 2. There were no window coverings in the bathrooms or even in the main spaces like the living rooms and kitchen. Was this intentional???3. Having to wash towels and gather up bedding before we leave, this was unacceptable for the price we paid. We should have stayed at a local hotel, enjoyed our time there and could leave without cleaning. Any what was the cleaning fee for if I needed to start this process? Having to ask your guests to clean up before they leave....was embarrassing. 3. The late check-in and you count this as a day you pay for in full? The early check-out of 10:00 AM spent cleaning instead of enjoying the last few hours. 4. Now, I did not intend on watching television, but it can be relaxing before going to sleep, but NON of the televisions worked, at all. Consider taking a close look at what people enjoy My advice is replace all of the bedding, and place a real bed in the third floor bedroom.
This home was our ârefuge & sanctuary â while our home was being repaired. We couldâve asked for a more perfect location & beautiful home. My dog loved the sunrise walks & we all loved the sunset on the upper deck. Heaven. Truly. I feel very lucky to have been able to stay here. Thank you Stephanie! You & Daniel were amazing.
We (9 of us) stayed for a few days during Christmas. We had a great time. The house was great for our group. We really enjoyed all the outdoor seating options. Great for watching both sunrises and sunsets.
The location of this house is wonderful for enjoying the beach.
House has a appropriate beds for kids.
The roof deck is very nice.
It is the beach that attracted us the most.
The house was cute and eclectic. It was very cool to have 3 stories. The outdoor space was great. The host was kind, responsive and helpful. I gave four stars because the mildew smell on the first floor and in the second floor bedroom made our stay less enjoyable. Some of the kitchen supplies used for baking and cooking could use some updating. The furniture was just a little worn in some areas.
We had the best time at this property! It was very clean, the kitchen was fully stocked, and they had lots of activities for the kids. My daughter loved sleeping in the bunk beds! It was such a short walk to the beach and they had so many beach toys and chairs to use. The ping pong table was awesome too! There were numerous outdoor patios that were amazing too! Our family loved it!
We felt completely at home in this beautifully decorated and well stocked getaway. Close to beach, restaurants, shopping, the pier, mission, Ventura Harbor. Strongly recommended!
This home is completely stocked with almost everything you need besides yourselves and your clothing. It is very well maintained, beautiful decor. It is in very close walking distance to the beach, literally down the street. It is a long walk once you get to the sand, but very reasonable to not have to drive. We ordered VONS delivery that showed up within a half an hr of arrival so we didnât have to go grocery shopping for the week that we stayed. Valuable times saved! Toppers pizza is always a favorite when you do want to have a night off from cooking.
Stephanie was absolutely great by text if I needed anything which I didnât after we got there. She was very attentive to me prior to our arrival, which was extremely helpful. The home is very easy to maintain, with 3 outdoor patios and a sunroom that we found absolutely fun for family night games. This is a beautifully Decorated Home and the beds were very comfortable. Each of the 3 levels has your own private bedroom, which is great when you bring a large family or if you wanted to bring more than one couple. The bottom level has two bedrooms, one of them has triple bunkbeds & a queen, which is great when you have children. I canât say enough positive things about this house. Definitely want to come back & if I could have stayed longer, we would have. Thank you for the hospitality Stephanie and letting my family enjoy this vacation getaway. It was perfect in every way. I also appreciate that the home offered a weekly discount
We had a wonderful stay at Stephanieâs place. We booked very last minute while our house was being worked on. She was super responsive and accommodating. We were even able to arrange a late check out while they finished up work at our house. The neighborhood was lovely, we did a lot of walking through the harbor and the beach was beautiful. Highly recommend!
I booked the beach house to celebrate my birthday with family. The beach house did not disappoint. The property is clean and well maintained. The property felt very homey. It was nice to sit on the decks and hear the ocean sounds. The family I invited had a great time and we all space and comfortable sleeping and bathroom arrangements. We look forward to revisiting soon.
This was a perfect house for our Labor Day family getaway. Plenty of space for the 9 of us. So close to the beach where we spent all of Saturday. You need to let the bbq really heat up because it is tied into the house gas line, no propane tank. The showers take a few minutes to get hot water, but there was plenty of hot water for all 3 showers. The house was decorated in a beach theme and very clean. We were close to everything. Had lunch at Sea Fresh and miniature golfing on Sunday. We were surprised when our 4 year grandson discovered inside kid toys in the downstairs bedroom. Lots and lots of beach toys and extra stuff. Everyone enjoyed using the boogie boards and paddle board. Plenty of beach towels. Would love to come back in the future.
Spacious home with 3 outdoor patios, one with sunset views. Fabulous location near channel and beach. Beautifully decorated. This was our second stay there.
Plenty of room for our family of 6 with visitors and great access to the beach.
Lovely neighborhood, the house was well maintained, and it was a very comfortable stay.
OverallâŠ.the house worked for us. Location isnât the bestâŠas you really do have to drive & park to go to the beachâŠ& itâs a deep beach.
I think the BBQ needs to be replacedâŠ.it never gets hot enoughâŠ.& you canât have the gas dryer on while BBQingâŠthey share the gasoline.
Do I have a refund deposit coming to me ?
The home is beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed and plenty big enough for a family of 5 (or more). The location in Oxnard is ideal, being a very short walk to both the beach and the marina.
We truly enjoyed ourselves for 3 weeks in this property. The place is clean and well equipped with everything you need. From the detergent to the shampoo. The rooftop deck was a favorite. But all the decks were beautiful. The location is breath taking and I will come back to this property again.
We stayed here comfortably with five adults and two teenagers for five nights over New Year's Eve. House is clean and well-appointed with two outdoor decks, an enclosed deck and a roof-top deck with a beautiful ocean view. It's a two-minute walk to the sand or to the Harbor. A great find - definitely a property we will consider again when coming to Hollywood Beach.
House is in a great location. Well stocked kitchen; nice decor, other than upstairs bathroom ⊠a little offensive (we had children with us) roof top area was a favorite for all. We would stay here again.
