Great Ventura visit!

We used this charming house as a base as we explored the Channel Islands. Everything about the place was lovely--very clean, comfortable beds, great communication with the owner. We loved Ventura, and would definitely recommend visiting this cute town and lovely homey home.

Great property in Ventura

Loved the decor of this place and the outdoor space is awesome. My husband, dog and I hung out there a lot. Nice to have a fenced in yard as well. I wish there had been more stuff to walk to, but the residential neighborhood was cute. And lots of things were a short drive away. Overall great place!

Beach Bungalow

We had a great time, despite some rain, at this great home. Every detail was taken care of by the owner. Great location near the beach, downtown Ventura, restaurants, pubs and wineries. Tim, the owner, was accessible and was in contact with us during the storms. Overall, a great experience. We would definitely rent again!

Short stay with family

We stayed here while construction was being done in our house so we are local. But it still felt like a little getaway. The house just has a really comfy vibe and we felt comfortable very quickly. The house is beautiful with a beautiful yard. Our dog was welcomed and our 7 month old was comfortable too. They had all the amenities we needed and great location next to good restaurants and close to the beach.

Cozy and quaint

This bungalow may only be 700+ sq but it seems larger. It was quite comfortable and cozy. The backyard area as well as the front yard courtyard is a wonderful place to enjoy the great weather in Ventura. Tim checked in to be sure everything was okay and assured us that he was there if we needed anything. We were there four nights and did not want to leave.. Will definitely be returning..

Cozy and comfortable

My longtime friend and I wanted a short getaway and chose this perfect little bungalow in Ventura. The home has virtually everything you need to feel at home. The kitchen is well appointed and it was fun to cook in, rather than eat out constantly. The backyard is a great area to relax in too. There are convenience stores and a Rite Aid/Vons within walking distance if you don’t bring your groceries with you. The beds are very comfortable and everything was extremely clean. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks to Tim for a wonderful stay!

Certain properties deserve more than 5 stars

Our first time staying in Ventura, and this property was perfect for us (family of 5 with children's ages ranging from 10-17). We hiked the Serra Cross, the Botanical Gardens, shopped and ate on Main Street, went to the beach and did some day trips into LA. We all loved Ventura so much and want to come back. Thanks to Tim for being an amazing host (he even came by to fix a tire tube on one of the bikes for us). This property is deserving of every glowing review it has received.

Such a charming California cottage

We absolutely loved our little house and the back garden was wonderful. The homeowners are incredibly communicative and so gracious. We loved the kitchen and it is kitted out really well. We loved cooking in it and eating out in the garden. It has such a warm and cozy vibe and we spent two fabulous weeks there. We loved our morning walks to Butter and Fold for the best pastries and coffee. Still miss it. We also loved walking up to Art’s Corner diner - great food, really friendly staff. We really got to know Ventura and adored all the dreamy architecture. Thanks for making us feel so welcome. It is a special home.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Snowber

Host profile image
Robin and I have been together for almost 25 years and, along with raising two daughters, some of the achievements of which we are most proud are the properties we have bought and renovated together as vacation rental properties. We are drawn to properties that have been around a little while and love to find ways to enhance the charm that is to be found in a home that was built in a different time.

Why they chose this property

We had been wanting to move to Ventura for years, but could never find a way to make it work. We had just concluded it wasn't possible when a flyer for the Bungalow landed in our mailbox. We knew we couldn't live in it long term ourselves but that it would be great as a vacation rental. We love being able to stay here as well as share it with guests wanting to visit one of our favorite spots on the planet: Ventura.

What makes this property unique

So many things to do, so close at hand: relax at the beach, hike or ride in the hills, enjoy great food (and local breweries), wander the shops on Main Street- or just hang out in the backyard. Life is good.
