Being able to relax in a large back yard after a day on the beach or visiting the many sites in the area is invaluable. When the wind is blowing at the beach, the yard is often warmer and extremely relaxing.
Out the door, turn left, and there is the a glorious beach a 1/2 block away. It is large, clean and beautiful. It's a few blocks away from the public beach so it is less crowded and very clean.
Two blocks away is the harbor park which has the perfect kids' park for ages two to ten years and a grassy area for other sports. The harbor is a five minute drive and you can go for a boat ride or rent boats. There are incredible restaurants and a kid's arcade.
The town is walkable for local fresh produce and fish. The main town is a five minute drive and boasts world class restaurants, antiquing and movie theatres. A water park is a ten minute drive that your kids will love. Magic Mountain, Santa Barbara and Ojai are a half hour away.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
We are a family of 4. We live in Los Angeles and come whenever our house is not rented to Ventura. My husband is a writer and I am a PhD candidate at UCLA in psychology. Kids are 6 and 9 years old. This picture is of my husband, daughter and son on the beach next to our house.
Why the Owner Chose Ventura
This area is so beautiful, clean, relaxed, with so much to do. Our street is quiet and very close to Marina Park which is great for children. Our neighbors are all incredibly nice and people in Ventura are just friendly and kind. We are so close to Seaward which is a great area for fresh produce, free fish, fun restaurants, bike rentals and margarita mix to make yourself or restaurants to drink in!
The Unique Benefits of this Beach Cottage
Our property has an exceptionally large backyard which is really one of the reasons we bought it. Even though the house is small, the yard is huge so many people can stay there and not feel cramped. The outside area is great for relaxing, eating, kids playing and barbecuing. You can use the ladder and get to the roof where there is a nice view of the oceean too. The house itself is perfect with bedrooms that are comfortable and a wonderful clawfoot tub.

We just returned from our stay at your very cute place in Ventura-the weather was great and the house was very comfortable. We especially enjoyed having our late morning coffee in the great backyard. We had grandchildren and great-grandchildren from Los Angeles come up for a Birthday Party on Saturday and the yard worked so well for that. Thank you! (Email sent to owner after tenant checked out)

My family and I stayed here for a week and it was perfect! The house is extremely kid friendly and there are tons of amenities - beach chairs, toys, outdoor shower, barbeque, beach umbrellas, bikes, etc. The location is great - you can walk to the beach, walk to the market, walk to the park, etc. A wonderful getaway - thank you!
