Nothing stands between you and the sand in this seaside home. Located in the heart of everything that Oxnard has to offer, you’ll still feel like you’ve escaped from it all once you settle into the sofa on the main living room, with the beach and ocean spread out in front of you – there’s also a lovely gas fireplace and a flatscreen TV with streaming capabilities and cable, but you’ll be too busy gazing out at the sea. The main floor’s open plan ensures that you’ll enjoy incredible views from not only the living room, but the dining room and kitchen as well. There’s seating for four, plus four barstools and a breakfast bar, and the full kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, a nifty plate warmer, and plenty of counter space. Upstairs is the main bedroom suite, with a king bed, a second gas fireplace, and that same killer ocean view. In the bathroom, you'll find a jetted tub that has a setting to turn the bathroom into a steam room. After a day on the beach, turn on the living room fireplace, step out onto the patio, and enjoy watching the stars rise over the Pacific after a sunset you’ll never forget.

Hi, Jeremy. Thank you so much for your kind words about the layout and location of the home—we’re delighted to hear you enjoyed those aspects! I also appreciate you sharing your concern about the old carpet. I’ve passed this feedback along to our local team so they can look into it. We truly appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much better stay in the future!
This is a great property! We enjoyed watching the beautiful sunsets and sun raises. We loved that there were tons of game, books, and beach toys available for us to use. Celebrated getting engaged and turning 30 all in one weekend and we enjoyed every minute of our stay!

A slice of heaven
Perfect house in a perfect place! Even better than the photos. Unbelievable picturesque view onto a secluded beach. We could not be happier with our stay, and can’t wait to return for another fun and relaxing weekend getaway.

This home isnt in good condition…you can tell it had been cleaned but it isn’t clean due to the years of wear and tear. Everything in the kitchen was old and covered with dust or a film… we ended up having to go out and buy our own pots and pans to use. There was a rodent on the 3 rd floor. Carpet was dirty etc. overall very disappointing for the price we paid.

Magical beach house!!
This beach house could not be more magical!!! We stay every summer and everything from the incredible panoramic ocean view throughout the second story windows to the carefully curated home that Arabella has lovingly created, has given our family treasured childhood memories. Every time we stay we see pods of dolphins traveling up and down the coast. What an incredible way to wake up and have your tea in the morning watching these beautiful creatures. The home is fully equipped with games, books, towels and a full kitchen. We love to cook while enjoying the beach view and pack picnics for our beach excursions. We enjoy the best nights sleep you will ever get in the third story master with balcony doors open to hear the gentle lapping of the waves at night. My children love the fruit smoothies at the coffee shop on the harbour which is walking distance and the restaurants boast beautiful seafood plates and deserts. We never want to leave and cannot wait to come back!

Stay was Mixed
The property was right on the beach in a beautiful location. There were some things about the property that were disappointing. First, when we arrived there were linens on the table, and the chairs and bar stools were stacked in a corner. It looked like someone had not finished cleaning. In addition, there was a dirty rag left on a counter. Second, in the primary bedroom it smelled like pee on one side of the bed and there were no curtains. Third, at night in particular, the temperature was very uncomfortably warm. The house at a minimum needs ceiling fans or air conditioning.

Very old house and poor Maintnance
Unfortunately I can not give a good review Vecasa management and maintenance of the house was poor and below standard industry in any aspect. Starting with a nine working sink at the kitchen shower head that barely had any pressure and very poor quality of bedding‘s sheets towels and not good mattresses. For what we paid it is just not acceptable. After complaining to Vecasa that the kitchen sink did not work during all our stay and maintenance guy did not come and fix the claim that they try to call and that the sink work with the sensor which is a lie and had offered a $20 credit on our next stay. Of course I rejected and told them that I will just write a review so long booking with Vecasa in the future

Heaven on the Sand
The view, the tranquility, the decor, the attention to detail. A beautiful and oh so comfortable home. I slept like a baby. A great area with so much to do - if you choose to! We loved, loved, loved our stay. Thank you. We will definitely be back.
Great place to relax, play games, and enjoy the beach!

Great time with family
We were comfortable but at the same time had some issues of what was not available to us for the length of our stay; no dressers for clothes, laundry soap, no dishwasher pods, enough dish soap…for what we paid fir the stay, the amenities were not available to us, coming from Sacramento & Colorado… 😒

This Beach Home is Great!
Our family loved Tara by the Sea, on the sand with magnificent views of the ocean. We had nightly sunset cocktails in the spacious, comfy gathering room/bar.The large kitchen was fully stocked, equipped & ready for snacks or meals…The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable… There were plenty of good towels and a well stocked laundry room. There were surprises and touches of hospitality everywhere… They had sodas, snacks and even light-up necklaces for the kids.
This home makes vacationing easy. ..We are ready to return!
