About this property

Relax and Renew in our Oceanfront Home

Relax to the sound of the surf just steps from your front door. Our clean and comfortable family-friendly home is located on the beautiful Gold Coast of California between Ventura and Santa Barbara, and close to the artist community of Ojai. Theaters, shopping, restaurants and more are 10-20 minutes away.

Relax on the large deck, or walk down the steps right onto the sand. (Beach/sand levels shift throughout the year. During the winter, surf comes right up to the seawall at high tide.)

We are located on a family friendly beach and one of the area's best beginner surf spots and minutes away from some of the best surf spots in the country.

The master bedroom has floor to ceiling windows looking out to an endless Pacific Ocean view. The other two bedrooms look over the coastal foothills.

Enjoy meals and lounging on the large deck, surfing and kayaking right in front of the house or tennis on the private courts right down the road.

Enjoy wifi, flat screen, cable, Netflix

Fish right off the deck when the tide is up, or in the surf.

Visit Downtown Ventura where you will find a variety of quaint shops and restaurants on Main St., as well as the Museum of Ventura County and the San Buenaventura Mission.

Some favorite places to eat are:

Beach House Fish: on the pier, great for fish tacos
Lure Fish House: on California St. Great fish, good service,
Old Creek Winery
Palermo: on Main St., Good coffee and gelato
Taqueria Tapatitlan, great Mexican food

Rent a bike and cruise the bike path

Take a lovely hike through the Botanical Gardens above the Courthouse to get a birds-eye view of Ventura, or you can drive up to the cross at Grant Park.

Take Hwy 33 into Ojai for more great shopping and restaurants, and many art galleries. Come back via the beautiful loop of Hwy 150.

Santa Barbara is 30 minutes north. There you can visit the Santa Barbara Mission, the Museum of Natural History, botanical gardens, shopping on State St. and the pier, and eat at one of Julia Child's favorite restaurants: La Super-rica

So much to do so little time! It's quite possible you never leave the chaise lounge :)

Due to the quiet nature of the area, and out of respect for our neighbors, parties and large groups are not permitted. Fires on the deck or on the beach are against the law.

We keep our rates reasonable so families can make the same happy memories our children have been able to make. Our outdoor furniture is not teak and our countertops are not granite, and our prices reflect that. Our home is clean and comfortable with everything you need for a perfectly relaxing escape. Enjoy!

Another incredible stay at this house. The location can't be beat. It's well-appointed, cozy and Kay is great at communicating. My first stay at the house was in 2015! Was so happy to continue the tradition this year and already booked for next. :)

Loved being right on the beach. It's the first time I've rented a house so I can't compare it to others. I loved that it felt like a home. My kids are 20 and 22 and loved it. We brought our 10 year old dog who was in heaven on the beach. My girlfriend and her teenager had a ball as well. The short drive to Ventura is easy. There is a street in town with no car traffic that's full of thrift shops, restaurants and shops. Way better for me than a sterile hotel. Feels like staying in a friend's home. A perfect distance from Los Angeles as well.

Wonderful location, "feels like home" property, and great owners!

This is a great property...we have enjoyed staying here multiple times and will return again. Close enough to Ventura but nice to have this smaller beach with low foot traffic and overall peace and quiet. Can fish from deck at high tide...very cool. Comfortable and has a "feels like home" vibe. Owners great...communicate quickly to questions and just a great "no hassle" experience...appreciated.

Quiet Perfection

Our stay was better than we could have ever imagined. The home was comfy, cozy and felt like we were staying at your favorite auntie’s. The kitchen was well appointed and everything we could possibly need was there including towels, games, plenty of parking and a deck and beach beyond imagination. It was complete, picturesque zen. We can’t wait to go back!

Incredible Location, Lovely Property

Four of us were coming from out of town to attend a wedding in Carpinteria. Rather than get individual hotel rooms, we chose to book this oceanfront home. It was great! The house is literally right on the water! Plenty of room, and everything you need to ensure a pleasant stay. Hosts were perfect.

Superb Beach Vacation

We are repeat guests to this comfortable beach house on Faria Beach. The owners have provided everything necessary for you to simply relax and enjoy what I consider to be one of the best beaches in California. Plenty of towels, a well stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds, loads of beach toys &chairs, and the most amazing views make for a perfect vacation. So grateful the owners share this treasure with us.

This was our second stay here. It was so peaceful listening to the waves. The upstairs bedroom is like being on a ship — all you can see is waves.The location is perfect— we went to Santa Barbara for lunch one day and Oxnard for fish and chips another. Would love to return. Thank you!

Gracious hosts

We always have a wonderful time staying at Faria Beach. Kay and Brent are the most accommodating hosts we have ever encountered. We stayed there during the period of high surf and tides and their highest regard was our own safety. They protected the windows from the high waves and actually reimbursed us for the time we lost enjoying the fabulous views. They are truly great people to work with and always make our stay a memorable time to remember.

Heaven!!

This house is pure heaven, everything a beach house should be! Cozy, charming, clean and well equipped. Located close to Ventura for a quick bite to eat if you don't feel like cooking or to grocery shop. We love staying on site to enjoy the ocean, that's what we come here for. On our last trip we saw dolphins, seals and lots of birds, one even paid us a visit inside (remember to close the sliding door ; ). The owners are most gracious too!

Ventura highway in the sunshine

Compelled to sing those lyrics from the 1972 song by America every morning 😊 very cozy, simple, hassle free experience. Watched the pelicans dive bombing in search of lunch one afternoon. Our stay was relatively wind free, with beautiful views, and the waves rhythmic crashing against the sea wall composed an easy lullaby. Thanks, Kay ❣️🥳💗

I have been bringing my family here for 30 years . I have found a place that I have always loved.

This has been a vacation I have done for over year with my mom , sister , kids and spouses and now grandkids. Kay and Brent are great owners of this amazing paradise . My grandkids take the surf camp that is in the beach there . Today I was out paddle boarding and there were 10 Dolphins swimming around me . I can’t say enough about this. Beautiful beach .

Lovely Stay

We had a lovely stay at your property. You might want to tell people exactly how to get to Netflix on the remote. Sorry to say it took quite awhile to figure it out. Also, we brought firewood, but the fireplace seemed a little dicey, so we didn’t light a fire. Otherwise, all was terrific! Thanks again.

Going Back!

We loved our stay at this beach house. Every part of the house was very comfortable and livable. A stress free environment with all the comforts of home. Being right on the beach, hearing the waves crashing day and night was heavenly. The deck has 4 great lounge chairs. A wonderful place to enjoy the beach, read or just take a nice nap. They also allow dogs and our aussie had the time of her life in the water and playing with other pups on the beach. We are definitely going back and have already secured our next getaway. Can't wait! Thank you Kay! We loved our stay!

LITTLE PIECE OF PARADISE

Our family was very excited to have stumbled across this wonderful beach house for our special family get away! We had such a wonderful time! The view is absolutely stunning and falling asleep to the sound of the waves is soothing and relaxing! Kay and Brent's home is full of charm! The deck is AMAZING with a staircase that leads down to the beach, so at low tide - towards late afternoon the family went down to search for treasures and play beach Volleyball. I am at awe how at high tide the waves come up to the deck! BEAUTIFUL!!! Inside the home... the coach is cozy and very comfortable! It was nice having a fast Wi-Fi connection and the T.V. to unwind after a long fun day in Ventura! The master bedroom is huge, bed like a five star hotel and has the most AMAZING view ever! Our children stayed in the other 2 rooms which didn't have the views like us, but hey they are kids and the rooms that faced the beautiful mountains were just perfect for them! The house was equipped with all the supplies and fun items one would ever need to enjoy the beach! And the added games and toys in the upstair closet were a bonus! The neighbor next door is an absolutely charming lady! So sweet and helpful - giving us tips where to go with our girls to enjoy our weekend! I loved talking to her and the kids really enjoyed meeting and playing with Wilbert (the baby lab puppy) - one of the highlights of their trip :o) One last note I really appreciated that Kay called me prior to our trip just in case I had any questions or concerns. Kay and Brent THANK YOU again for letting us stay at your Little Piece of Paradise in Ventura! Our family will be back for sure! Especially since I didn't get to enjoy the sunset due to cloudy skies! Next Time! :o)
