Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1959
I am the proud owner of this beautiful authentic Beach Home my father and mother designed and built in the spirit of creating a functional, family oriented cozy beachside retreat. I was fortunate to grow up in this home, with memories that conjure up years gone by, but now I am able to offer similiar experiences for VRBO guests. I want to provide everything possible to give you memories of a lifetime, like mine!
Why the Owner Chose Ventura
Seacliff Beach Colony is ideally located close enough to Ventura and Santa Barbara, but with the feeling of being faraway...now, that is a vacation!
The Unique Benefits of this House
the sound of surf breaking, the call of seagulls, the dolphins passing by, the glorious sunsets, warm sun, haunting fog banks...everything that is coastal living that puts one in a calm, relaxed state of being, besides its a great family house to entertain and bring everyone close!

My girlfriends and I stayed at Seven Seas for a weekend prayer retreat. The house is so charming and the accommodations were perfect. Everything we needed was right at hand, we brought our food and everything else we needed was provided. The beds were comfortable and the location is 5 star or better! We can’t wait for our retreat next year. I would highly recommend this rental home!

This house is so awesome! It looks so cozy and inviting when you walk in, we just loved it. Looked just like the photos, except bigger than we expected. Nice & clean too. There was pleanty of seating & chairs, the beds were comfy with tons of pillows and blankets. There are lots of bath & beach towels, dont need to take any. The kitchen was fully furnished, tons of dishes, silverware, utinsels, with enough pots & pans for anything you need to cook. The ocean view, the best! The BBQ out on the deck was nice and the fire pit was our gathering place each evening for Smore's and stories old & new. The sunsets were peaceful and beautiful. The Dolphins swam by every morning & them some, we got some great photos! There really were giant starfish and sea creatures on the rocks at low tide, unbelievable! Everyone on the beach was respectful not to disturb the precious sea life .Plenty of parking,not to far to go to the stores, some of our group went deep sea fishing and we did venture into Ventura Harbor for a shopping/souvenir trip. Plenty of restaurants, but we chose to eat at our beach house with an ocean view! We just can't say enough about Seven Seas, we are so grateful that Tina opened up this beautiful home allowing us this chance to create some unforgettable memories with family & friends!

Well...were should I start. First of all the house is everything we expected and more. We first opened the gate and walked along the side of the house and were greeted by the Pacific Ocean. All I could say was "No way....How awesome". We spent a week here with family. The grandkids had so much fun. The sea life was cool and we flew kites and searched for sea shells. The mornings were so much fun, coffee, fruit, oatmeal....Ohhh Yaaa.........Dolphins!!! I have to say that was the highlight of the mornings. One more thing too is that the house is close to town so you can make runs for supplies. We had so much fun that I hope to return soon. Highly Recommended for true Beach House experience..............

I went with my spouse, son and two other families with children. We all fit perfectly in the house. It's spacious with room for everyone. The scenery is beautiful. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The one tip I have is to be careful about going down the rocks to get intot he water. Wait for low tide, which typically happens twice a day. Overall, a really relaxing and fun time!

Just returned from 7 days at Seven Seas! It was everything you could want in a vacation home. Very well stocked and comfortable. We had several visitors come for a night or 2 and the home never felt cramped or over crowded. We all had plenty of space to be together or have private space. Tina was amazing in responding to any and all requests. We will be back!!!!

Far Exceeds Expectations

This place is amazing -- the location is simply breathtaking, with high tide waves crashing on rocks in full view from both inside and outside the house. The sandbox backyard was well-suited for kids and adults alike. The house has everything you could possibly think of needing. And Tina, the owner, makes it so easy to comply with the rules by keeping them simple and common-sensical! Our two families found perfect places inside the spacious home to do all of the activities we wanted -- from game playing to listening to music, from sleeping in late to enjoying a sunrise or late night fire pit. The beds were super comfy, and everything felt just like home. We cooked several meals during our stay and found no shortage of dishes, pots, pans, silverware, etc. Although you cannot swim in the ocean directly in front (back) of the house, we drove 7 miles north to Carpinteria state beach one day and 10 miles south to Ventura Pier the next day, and both were lovely and easy to plan. And you can take a nice walk along the beach path in the gated community -- seacliff colony -- which was very private and wonderful. I would like to add for those people who may not be thrilled by the photos of this place (for some reason the photos give it a sort of seedy look) -- I was initially in the same boat, but when I finally took the leap, I could not have been more pleased. From the layout, design and funkiness of the house to the kitschy decor and happy family photos, you can tell that this is not your standard antiseptic house rental or hotel room. Enjoy!

We rented this property for our son's UCSB graduation and had a wonderful experience! The owner was easy to work with and the listing description is accurate. The house is larger than we expected with a big combined kitchen/family room facing the Pacific. The house is well maintained and has everything needed! We will be back!

Review Submitted: 06/09/11
We wanted a 4 bdrm, 3 bth beach house that would be reasonably close to Ojai for a High School graduation we were attending - we found that at what we would call "Tiki House." The house at Seacliff had everything we needed and was priced within our budget. If it had a hot tub, it would have been absolutely perfect!!! Despite that absence, we could have easily stayed for a month, we enjoyed it that much! The kids loved going to the beach each morning to bring in the latest shell, rock, or sea creature. We loved sitting on the deck, with a glass of wine, listening to the sound of the waves. Of course Ventura and Santa Barbara are close by for restaurants and shopping. Magic Mountain (Six Flags) amusement park is even a short drive (we did that too).
Recommended for:Sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children.
