We liked the close proximity to the beach. Nice 3 story home with views and waking up to the waves was amazing. Shops and restaurants all within walking distance.
Excellent communication before during and after our stay! Also, lovely stocked home, we cooked and had all the kitchen items we needed. Absolutely lovely bedrooms and location is unbeatable! We can’t wait to come back.
The whole family really enjoyed are stay at the beach house. The Property Manager's are very nice and easy to work with. We would definitely be interested in staying again.
This was a perfect spot to get away for a few days. Steps away from the beach. Great food within walking distance or just a short drive away. We want to make this a yearly vacay!

Thank you Jennifer! We look forward to your next stay! Lisa
The property was great for our group. We enjoyed relaxing and enjoying the ocean views. The property is almost ocean front with easy access to the beach. We were also walking distance to shops. Great property and great location.
My family really enjoyed staying at this house. Opening the door and listening tI the sound of the waves, was so peaceful and relaxing. We had asked if there was an ironing board and iron and they brought one within an hour. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for staying Shannon! Hope to host you again!
We had a great time. Everything was great at the house, it was clean, beds were comfortable, check-in was easy. We were lucky to have had great weather during our stay. It was a quick walk around the corner to the restaurants and to the market. I appreciate Lisa and Morgan's willingness to take care of any issues that may have arose, but we didn't need anything

Thanks Fiona! You were a 5star guest! We are so happy that you enjoyed Written in the Stars Beach Vacation Rental - it is a guest favorite and we hope we can host you again in the future!
Very nice place. Updated, all necessary items available. Our family of 4 really enjoyed this home. Loved the proximity of this location to all the things we wanted to do.
We certainly will come back.
We had such a great time in this very nice house. The beach was just steps away. Three story house gave everyone plenty of space and the two kids each got their own bathroom. We're already talking about coming back at some point soon.

Thank you Shane! You are welcome back anytime! Lisa
The place was neet and clean but a couple of issues the front gate has a fall hazards that you dont see as you're leaving my wife fell skined her knees and broke a toe nail and the stairs in the garage is also a problem the top step is taller than the rest making it a triping hazard I know because I triped there myself. The living room has no comfortable seating at all

Thanks for your feedback. This experience appears to reflect individual preferences rather than typical guest stays. Not every stay is everyone’s cup of tea—but most of our guests seem to have a very different experience.
Our family travelled from 2 other states to visit with family in Ventura for Thanksgiving, and this was the perfect beach house getaway! Those who stayed in the beach house loved falling asleep to the waves at night and everyone totally enjoyed stepping right out the door to walk on the beach or sitting on the balcony or beach-front chairs to watch surfers, sunsets, pelicans, and dolphins. The host was so accommodating and provided everything you could possibly need including beach towels, an outdoor faucet by the front door to rinse your feet, outdoor shower, outdoor patio, all kitchen amenities, huge comfy beds, and 3 bathrooms! Checkout was the easiest, most stress-free of any place we’ve ever stayed. We can’t wait to come back and stay there again!
The location of this property is prime. It was steps away from the beach and the cute little town of Pierpont was conveniently located nearby with all the stores and restaurants. The house was stocked with all the necessities even for my dog. I did find that the bedroom downstairs was not as clean as I would have liked with the floors needing some cleaning.. Literally within 10 minutes of notifying management a cleaner was there to take care of the cleaning. I was extremely impressed and pleased.
The location of the property was great. We never had to get into our car while we were there. Shopping and restaurants were all in walking distance. We were disappointed that the sleeper couch in the living room was not the one we saw in the listing. Instead it was a standard pull out couch that was not very comfortable. The place was very sandy when we arrived and we had a toilet that ran unless it was jiggled. The grill was dirty and not operable so we had to adjust our cooking plans one night. Overall, we enjoyed our vacation but according to the listing we thought we had nicer accommodations.

Thank you, Susan and we are glad that you had a good time! We remodeled the entire second floor, adding glossy tile and a brand new kitchen. The one that was before was a galley style with grouted tile and older appliances. We now have a white kitchen with black granite, countertops, and new appliances and an open concept for easier access. With that came a larger dining table that could support eight people and guests we upgraded the self sleeper, which had the same pull out sleeping system that the old one did, but it’s new and fits better into the space. I have only had glowing reviews from guests who had stayed here before about our entertainment area upgrade. I’m sorry the grill was rusted out. It happens sometimes at the beach and I’m sorry we didn’t catch it. It wasn’t dirty, however and I’m happy that we were able to deliver you a brand new grill the next day we know how important that is for guest and we do our best to make sure you always have the best amenities available at your fingertips because we are only one house from the Sand. It is hard to keep it from coming inside sometimes and that’s why we always have our 24 hour cleanliness guarantee. I i’m sorry you didn’t have the updated photos. They are on the platform, but Verbo had not updated them on the property on their website. I have been discussing that with several properties with them. Thx! Lisa

Ventura beach townhouse
The property was fine overall and very clean. There are a few things we didn't like. There was only one chair in the living room and it shows 2 in the picture. The coffee pot dribbled and there are no grab bars in the bath tub. Our host Lisa was extremely difficult to get ahold of. I had to ask her twice for our entry codes and when I emailed about a large ceiling texture problem in the garage she didn't respond at all. It looked like there had been a water leak recently and the ceiling drywall just finally gave way. The location was great and we did have a very nice time over all. We would not rent this again though due to all the stairs. I didn't realize that you had to go upstairs to the 2nd master bedroom. It would be nice to have an icemaker also.

I am sorry you felt you were not attended to! I think you missed some of my messages, such as when your entry codes would arrive. I try to pepper messages so guests don't feel overwhelmed with information. We provide two coffee pots - Keurig and Press - and sometimes things happen. When we are notified, its instacart to the rescue! Of course we checked the ceiling in the garage, and thankfully, there were no leaks, just some cosmetic popcorn that had dislodged due to time and was easily taken care of - I wish you had told me while you were staying! I always appreciate knowing a guest's wish list and I will put grab bars on the list. That you for staying! Lisa

Why they chose this property
Ventura Beach neighborhoods - Silver Strand, Hollywood Beach and Pierpont Beach, have uncrowded beaches, two marinas (Channel Island and Ventura) that have boat rentals, whale watching tours, jet ski rentals, gondola rides and are sprinkled with cool local cafes, yoghurt shops and lively sports bars. Why stay in Malibu or Santa Barbara when you can stay in gorgeous house for 1/3 the price? Oh, and bring your pup too!

Wonderful home right on the beach! Lisa is a great host and checked in multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. Andy D. Feb 2025
A clean and comfortable place to stay in a beautiful setting. The kitchen was well stocked, beds comfy and little extras made it a perfect place to stay. We were there with another couple and it was so nice to have separate space. Vicky C. January 2025
We all really enjoyed our stay! Great beach access, and lovely accommodations. Lisa was a very responsive host as well. Ventura is a great place to visit, and we look forward to coming back! Cathy R. December 2024
