I would give this beautiful home a six out of five stars! It was beyond compare. So comfortable and stock full of equipment and amenities. We celebrated my mother's 100 birthday on July 27th. Our stay was magical. Thank you so much to our hostess Elizabeth who made our stay truly special.

Excellent Oxnard beach house

This is a great property. It is a well located, equipped, and maintained beach house. We loved snuggling with kids in the evening by the rooftop fire pit. The kitchen is one of the best that we have seen.

Great property!

The house was very clean and comfortable to stay in. The kitchen was large, clean, and easily accommodated our group. Lots of windows with natural light, and an upstairs outdoor patio. We loved being so close to the beach- a one minute walk! We also loved using the bikes and kayaks. Elizabeth was very kind, hospitable, and a joy to work with.

Outstanding beach home. Perfect location between the harbor and the beach. Short walk to both. Home was decorated beautifully, with great attention to details! It had all the amenities we needed. Kitchen drawers and cabinets even labeled! Perfect spot for our extended family to be together, while attending our granddaughter's wedding in the area. Elizabeth was so pleasant, and forthcoming in answering all my questions! I highly recommend it!

Family 4th of July

Loved this beautiful place. Perfect location. The house was equipped with practically everything needed for our family vacation. The host was so responsive and accommodating. We were 10 adults. And there was definitely enough room for all of us. The beach equipment and the bikes made the experience so much greater. Just happy memories for us.

Harbor Beach House

We had a wonderful stay. The host provided so many amenities and she was always available for any questions. We fixed Thanksgiving dinner with a wonderful well stocked kitchen...we even found a meat thermometer! Quiet neighborhood and steps to the marina with seals and sea lions to entertain. Wonderful views of the Channel Islands. Room for 3 cars in the driveway! A great vacation!

Family Celebration

Beautiful accommodations, with meticulous amenities, for a wonderful family vacation celebration! Everything we could have ever needed, was thoughtfully provided, from a welcoming patriotic flower bouquet, to baby powder for removal of sand between the toes, and all items in between, like bikes, paddle boards, beach towels, grill, and a fully equipped kitchen for cooking and family meals. Our host was very proactively informative on things to do, places to see, and local events happening during our stay. A wonderful place to celebrate, enjoy, and get away! Highly recommended!

This home is amazing. Incredibly well done and impeccably clean. The host is very attentive and easy to deal with. Exceeded our expectations. Great attention to detail and every amenity you could imagine was available. It was perfect for our kids (6 year old twins) and grandparents. We cannot wait to return. We highly recommend this home.

A delight family vacation home

The house met all our needs. It was in excellent condition. We needed help with the gas bar b q range on the third floor. Elizabeth took care of it very quickly.. It was well equipped with beach equipment that all 8 of us used. We hope to rent this property again. What a delightful stay. I would highly recommend this property.

Amazing Stay

We had an fantastic time in this amazing beach home. Our family stayed here for seven days and from the beginning Elizabeth was fantastic to work with. She provided excellent references for our family to experience and the location was amazing, from a short walk to the Marina to a short walk to the beach. This home is immaculate from design, comfort and a chef’s kitchen. There were plenty of supplies from the kitchen to the beach toys. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next vacation here. Thank you Elizabeth.

Family fun and wonderful memories

The house was absolutely beautiful, spotless, and had every convenience you could ever want. Comfy beds, room to be all together or cozy spots for reading and quiet time. It was perfect for our family reunion with our kids and grandkids. Close to everything, we enjoyed kayaking, bike riding, the Farmer’s Market, Duffy boats, paddle boarding, and boogie boarding. At the house we barbecued several nights on the great outside rooftop deck followed by dinner round the large dining table sharing our best parts of the day. We played games in the evenings (lots to choose from), and we all contributed to one of the jigsaw puzzles available. Several evenings we played volleyball on the sand courts close by. We laughed a lot as our competitions were long on enthusiasm and short on skill. Elizabeth was a kind and gracious host who responded immediately to any of our questions. We all agreed it was the our favorite vacation home.

Better than you can even imagine

While the pictures of the rental are stunning, it's even better in person. The layout was ideal, and space was excellent for our large family to hang out. You can tell owner put a lot of thought into the place, and she really thought of everything! Kitchen is beautiful but also very functional, and our family enjoyed cooking meals together. Not to mention it was incredibly well stocked with every drawer labeled, making it quite seamless to find our way around. There were tons of puzzles and games, plus each room had something extra that only a super attentive host would think of. This would be the relative that everyone would want to visit and likely overstay their welcome. It feels like a home rather than a rental. The location was unbeatable, steps away from an uncrowded beach. We used lots of the bonus gear (beach cruisers, SUP, coolers, wagon for supplies, towels, beach chairs, toys for the kids). Host was very attentive and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better stay and will most definitely visit again in the future!

Just Fabulous!

We had a wonderful week staying at Bella Mare. The house is absolutely gorgeous and so clean. We had friends coming and going, visiting & each were equally impressed. The house accommodated my family of 4 (including 2 teens), my parents, and my brother and his family (1 baby). We walked to the harbor and beach daily. The weather all week was perfect. The owner, Elizabeth, was kind & very easy to communicate with. We can't wait to go back!

Family getaway

Excellent property with a great host. The location could not be better. The house had every amenity one could need and more from inside the house to outside to providing beach accessories. Great attention to detail, the layout worked perfectly for 3 small families, had a group of 9 and more than enough space for all of us. Well stocked kitchen and enjoyed large deck with BBQ. Would definitely visit again.
