Ocean visible from room. Due to shared parking with restaurant, it is somewhat an issue. Second time staying here. Second time dealing with power outage and internet issues. Guests sat outside until 7:30 when power was restored. Some guests reported that power went out at 10:30 a.m. we checked in after 3:00 and was told the power was out but expected to be back on any minute! Obviously, that was not the case. Front desk staff does not seem able to handle these issues. Cleaning staff and restaurant staff friendly. Pool is heated but temp is too high. Not refreshing! It’s a nice place if you want to get away and relax but be prepared for anything!

GREAT ocean views, but not much else.

Amazing views of ocean. Pool was nice and warm, but also next to restaurant diners (so not private). Nice breakfast, but no salt available. No elevator, and very limited parking. Far from Ventura downtown/city and other restaurants, but not too far from Carpinteria [10 to 15 min drive]. But if you are looking for ocean views and quiet, this place is great. No stores within walking distance, so you need a car, or bring your own snacks!

Great location but impressively bad atmosphere

Gorgeous location but pretty ramshackle accommodations. We had ground floor room. People above us were incredibly loud until 1am. Building is mid-century, and appears to have had no renovations ever. Also, someone was blaring music outside our room at 8am and smoking cigarettes so we couldn’t enjoy the sound of the waves. Walked into restaurant to book reservation and before we could open our mouths, elderly waitress/manager (?) yelled from back room, “No walk-ins!” Guess she didn’t think we looked like guests. Breakfast buffet was dismal!!! Jar of peanut butter and wilted fruit with grocery store pastries and overcooked hard boiled eggs. Rotting vases of stinky flower water with dead roses on table. Spiders in our room. Torn, pilling bedsheets. Very uncomfortable bed. No air conditioning. But, again, location is beautiful and the pool looked awesome. Still, kinda creepy vibe.

Spectacular iocation on the ocean... we thought the traffic might be loud, so close to the Highway, but it was not because of the glorious sound of the ocean
