Second year coming back to our little home away from home. We come here because it’s a little spot of paradise in an already busy and ever growing state. Makes it feel like we aren’t in California.

Total hidden gem just off the 101 in Ventura. Feels like a time warp in the best way—think ‘60s beach motel meets vintage Hawaii. Super peaceful, no road noise, just ocean waves right outside your window (which you can actually open!). Rooms are clean, vibe is chill, views are unreal. Great dinner spot downstairs and free continental breakfast. Only gripe: no in-room coffee and none available till 7:30am. Still, I’d come back in a heartbeat.

waste of money for a terrible stay

their website said the restaurant was closed on mondays .... when in fact it was open. we ate at a different place enroute ... the lights next to the nightstand was burned out and had to request another. sometime during the night, the power went out so some of our electronic equipment never charged completely. Since there was no power, breakfast was dismal. the fruit looked days old, could not make toast, could not heat any bagels, coffee was connected to a generator. the hotel was old and the floor sloped severely toward the ocean. there was no beach access .... just a bad experience ...

The location is relaxing and the restaurant food is great. Hope they have aircon in room and the breakfast should be continental not just grab and go.

The continental breakfast is a bit boring. Mostly baked goods you buy in packages. The restaurant downstairs is very decent but it's pricey. The bed was decent, though it had a sort of skirt on it that was really stained and gross. They should toss those. The room was ok. A bit dated. Damage here and there but it was clean. We would probably stay here again as the ocean is right there and theyre decent enough but understand this isnt a luxurious stay in the slightest. Very average.
