Surfside Zen Steps to the Beach!

JohnRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay. It was a wonderful spot for our family to find peace during a trying time. A few short minutes from a very lightly trafficked beach; we could not have asked for a better place to stay. We are so grateful for the accommodations!

Steps to beach/Pool/EV charger/Parking/King bed

MattRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Our family had a wonderful time at this space. The unit was comfortable, spacious and very well stocked. We enjoyed the short hike along the bluffs to watch dolphins and seals. We spent hours on the wonderful beach steps away. The comfortable heated pool and hot tub were a great way to end the day. We would love to return one day.

Seascape - Beachfront Splendor in Mussel Shoals

JoeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is a beautiful home in one of the few waterfront properties between Santa Barbara and Ventura. The host was highly responsive and accommodating, and the place was very clean despite some wear and tear. The only cautions I would give to someone looking to stay here are that (1) the pool and hot tub are extremely narrow, (2) the house has no air conditioning, and (3) a large suburban or truck won’t fit in the carport with the gate closed. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Luxury Oceanbreeze Beach Condominium

JillRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The building itself is close to the beach and ocean, so it shows some weathering. However, as soon as you step inside, it's Magical. The place was super clean and had everything you needed to be completely at home. The beds were super comfortable. We did not use the clubhouse so I can not comment on that. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come here again. Roza was so amazing and responsive. She is truly a Super host! Thank you Roza 😊 💓

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. We loved getting to sip our morning coffee on the patio, watching the paddle boarders and birds go by. Soaking in the hot tub was also a highlight. We loved that it was a short walk to the beach, too. A great place for a group.

Calypso Breeze|Jacuzzi|Walk to the Beach|Games|BBQ

TessRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
10 Stars to our host and this beautiful space! I had family in and we were able to enjoy our time together and have our own space as well. The backyard was perfect for relaxing or enjoying time together. The short walk to the beach was perfect, and the Jacuzzi was such a treat! Pretty late on our first night we realized the Jacuzzi wasn’t getting as hot as it should and contacted Victor. By the time we woke up in the morning, the technician had come out and fixed it so we were ready to enjoy our time. We enjoyed every minute and will absolutely be back.

This house was perfect for our family of 4. Ideal location, beautiful garden with a fresh lemon tree and beautiful flowers. Nice house design and decor - plenty of space and great layout. Everything worked as expected. Perfectly clean. We enjoyed our visit so much that we extended the visit. Amazing host. Responded within seconds with helpful support. So much better than a hotel! Easy check in and out.

Lovely AirBNB! Perfect for two couples; a lovely patio oasis, with privacy, lush trees and gardens, hot tub and firetable made it a standout. Less than 1/2 block from the amazing Douglas FamilyPreserve and awe-inspiring cliffside walking; we stood watching whales feeding! Great nearby restaurants and good launching point for excellent vineyards an hour away.

Cute Mid-Century Beach Side Bungalow | Beachside

CharlesRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay here. My wife loves mid century modern and the place was true to form inside and out. The minimalism was awesome and perfect for across the street from the beach. Pleasant change from the mansions and townhomes. I surf so suiting up in the garage and very brief walk to sand was great. Not many people around even better. Oxnard is our favorite getaway and this place was perfect for laying low and enjoying the beach. Go eat at Freddy's Pizza and order cheese sticks - old school Oxnard and so good!

THE GETAWAY - Beachfront retreat in Pierpont Bay.

RyanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We will often try to find a “deal” near to, but not exactly on the beach - this time around we decided to find a place right on the beach, and we can say without hesitation it was entirely worth the small uptick in price and that we would do it again and again. The condo is amazing - you are literally a few feet from the sand, with nothing blocking your view or access of the ocean. The beach is huge, with ample space to find your own little comfortable spot, and within easy reach of the condo for snacks and refreshments. The interior space is well laid out, with lots of space, super up-to-date kitchen, and plenty of room to sleep our family of 5. Everything worked as expected and everything we needed was within arms reach. Plus, there’s a “gear room” of sorts with all kinds of games, sand toys, beach chairs, and bikes. We had zero concerns or complaints here - only good experiences. We do want to express gratitude to Daniel, as he is super responsive and helpful!
