Very pet friendly. All the amenities. We wanted for nothing. We would absolutely stay here again. Perfect for our small family. Easy to walk to beach and close to the less busy side of the beach.
Exactly as listed except there is no spa. Comfortable bed, lots of room inside and out, quick access to lovely beach. Would absolutely stay here again!
Terrific location to the beach and overall a perfect property for a “get away from it all”. Very nice back area with a fire pit, grill and BBQ. Would definitely stay there again.
We had a wonderful stay! The house is perfectly situated to enjoy Oxnard’s stunning beaches and harbor, and a reasonable drive to all of the other towns we explored (Ventura, Ojai and Santa Barbara). The house was perfect for the 3 of us, had plenty of space on the back patio and was very cozy. Definitely would stay here again!
We really enjoyed staying at this cute beach cottage. From the beach vibe decorations to great built in bbq to the 2 minute walk to the beach, it all added up to a relaxed, calm vacation. Lisa and her team offered such a personal touch, lots of communication, which is much appreciated!

Great place to reset and unwind! Steps from the beach, shopping only minutes away, and very nice locals. The house has everything you could possibly need, even down to coffee and creamer. Would highly recommend!

Thank you for your kind words Brigitte! I hope we can host you again!
The house is so cute! Has everything we needed. The beach is just down the flat street. Our dog loved it too. For sure we will return. The hosts are marvelous and quick to respond.
We drove from AZ to have a beach getaway with our whole family and this place did not disappoint! The backyard was our favorite hangout spot! What an awesome vacation! 10/10, would recommend! We will be coming back!

Thank you Ashley for being a 5star guest! We are happy you plan to plant to return!
The house was exactly as described. My only complaint was that there was some dog feces in the background that was not removed before or during our stay.
We (2 adults plus dog) had a lovely time at this property. Everything was as advertised. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet, and the beach was just a few minutes away. Lisa responded to our questions in record time. We will be adding this vacation home to our list of all-time favorites.
Oh My Word!!! It is the most adorable place. From the moment we walked in to the rooms, the kitchen, the wow bathroom the outdoor patio. And within walking distance of the beach.
The bedrooms were super comfortable & spacious. The decor very tasteful.the kitchen had everything we needed.
We spent the best time there.
We were able to use the beach chairs while there, as well as the washer & dryer. We are already planning our next trip there.
Wonderful, wonderful cozy place.

Thank you Judy for being a 5star guest! We hope to host you again in the future!
On our 3rd day we noticed there was a bubble of water in the ceiling caused by a lot of rain that happened a few days prior. One quick call to the property manager got us a construction crew to fix the situation. Because they preferred that we not be in the house during the "fix", they relocated us to another property, and allowed us to stay an extra few days without additional cost. It was a little hassle, but we were well taken care of. This property comes fully equipped! Even for your 4 legged friends!

'Terrific place! In a quiet neighborhood and just a short walk to the beach. Very clean and comfortable place to stay!' Doug M. September 2025
"Lovely, peaceful and very comfortable spot. Perfect for a quiet beachy getaway." Malka F. August 2025
"Adorable beach house with a great outdoor space out back. One block walk from beautiful Silver Strand beach. Loved that they provide all beach stuff - towels, chairs, umbrella, and sand toys." Kyle V. August 2025
"We had a fantastic stay at this charming beach house in Oxnard! The home itself is super cute and incredibly comfortable—perfect for our family trip with young kids and dogs. The hosts went above and beyond in thinking through every detail: there were kid-friendly plates and cups, dog bowls and leashes, high-quality toiletries, and a well-stocked kitchen that made it easy to settle in and enjoy. The location is wonderful—you can see the ocean from the house, and it’s just a short, easy walk to the sand, even with toddlers in tow. The beach feels semi-private despite being public, which made for a peaceful and relaxing experience. We also loved how quiet and safe the neighborhood felt. Our kids could walk around comfortably, and we appreciated the calm, friendly vibe of the area.All in all, a perfect beach escape for families. We’d absolutely stay here again!" Brandon June 2025
"Cute little house, very close to the beach. Residential area so need to stay quite quiet. Neighbours are friendly + you have access to ventura + the channel islands which I would highly recommend. Super dog-friendly home + very communicative hosts, will definitely be back in the summer !! " Katy June 2025
