**What guests are saying

“The house was very welcoming and I couldn’t believe the wonderful details—water on the nightstands, bathrooms stocked with extras like Q-tips and a hair dryer. The kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed. I’ve never stayed in a place that actually had spices and olive oil. Clean, organized, and honestly a five-star hotel couldn’t beat it.”
— Dawn, Oct 2025

“Wonderful seaside place to relax. Very private with everything you need for fun or relaxation. Short walk to the beach and a wonderful channel to watch for entertainment. Clean and furnished beautifully. Definitely a place we would return to.”

My family travels all over the country and stays at vrbo locations. This was the finest location of all the places I have stayed. It was well stocked, immaculate, well designed, fabulous amenities and such a kind host. When my family returns to Oxnard (as we will yearly) this will be where we stay. We have not one complaint!

Fantastic Family Fun

The property is very clean, welcoming and well maintained. At one point there were 8 staying in the house & the house accommodated everyone easily. The outdoor area is pleasant with a sitting area and a table accommodating 8 easily. The property is a short walk to the beach. All-in-all it was very comfortable. We all agree a return visit is in our future!

Leave your worries at the door

This is a beautiful property. This rental is clean and quick access to the beach where you can leave your worries at the door. Conveniently located a few steps away from the beach. We brought our furry family members and we all had a blast. We stayed the week and were energized by the end of our stay. Definitely recommend this property to anyone who need to have their own private beach getaway and get a quick recharge before heading back to the everyday hum drum. Will stay here again in the future.

Beach Break with family

Great location. House well equipped. However family room on lower floor, kitchen and dining area plus 2 bedrooms up steep stairs. Not ideal with young children. Listing was accurate, but further details sent by host suggested there was a hot tub. Host explained that the information was ‘generic’ to several properties. This was misleading and unfortunate.

Family trip

Space was good, 2.5 bathrooms were great, layout of condo is a little unusual. We had a lack of hot water in downstairs shower for some reason, but did not notify property managers until after our stay because of our busy schedule. Seals nearby were heartwarming and funny! Short walk to beach. Love the 2 king beds. Another small issue was no vent in queen bedroom which made temperature regulation a bit of an issue. If we could have closed or covered the downstairs vents, it would force more cool air upstairs. The little harbor near the condo is very pretty!

Family Reunion

We enjoyed the beach house very much. The rooms and bedding were very comfortable. Nice to have one master and full bathroom down stairs. Kitchen updated and had all the necessary utensils and cookware. The location was so nice. You can see the sun setting from the family room and balcony. Relaxing outside in the comfy couch and chairs was very nice. The courtyard is enclosed so it felt private and secure. The drive way accommodated 3 cars easily. Plus the garage could park one car. Easy access from garage to the inside stairs that led up to the main living area. Close by casual restaurants and others within 6 miles. We really enjoyed Yolanda’s for Mexican food and Andria’s Seafood. The only concern was the kitchen nook window. It would not close properly. Thank you Lisa for being a wonderful host. We will be back when we can!

Temporary Sanity Achieved

We stayed here for the week of Thanksgiving 2022, with our two adults sons and one daughter-in-law. Overall, it was a very relaxing stay, and we appreciated that our fur babies were welcome here. The location is very convenient, and the street is pretty quiet with friendly neighbors. We are originally from Ventura county, and return at least one week every year for vacation in Oxnard, one of our very favorite places in life! The home was very clean and attractively decorated, and Lisa and her housekeeper were very attentive to any questions or needs that we had. They were generous with household paper goods, soaps, etc., which we appreciated, as we have stayed in many vacation rentals that greatly lacked in that area. The kitchen was well enough equipped for us to prepare a Thanksgiving meal, however we had brought disposable aluminum pans, which were a lifesaver, as there are no baking/casserole dishes. Otherwise, there are plenty of pots and pans, utensils etc., and the appliances are good. All that being said, be warned that all of the beds are extremely firm, but not a deal-breaker for us. Also, the living room could use some more seating for a family gathering. The current seating can really only accommodate 3-4 adults comfortably. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the home to future travelers.
