Perfect beach house for a dog-friendly getaway! Just steps from the sand, super modern inside with tons of comfy seating. Our pup loved it and so did we — clean, well-equipped, and in the perfect location. Highly recommend!

Overall, we were happy with the house and enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, nicely remodeled, and the proximity to the beach was a definite plus.There were a few issues worth noting. The listing advertised a two-car garage, but it is actually a small one-car garage. A large SUV would not fit inside. Parking is also limited, with space for only one vehicle in the driveway, and even then it extends across the driveway. There is no street parking directly in front of the house.The beds had memory foam mattresses that we did not find particularly comfortable, and the sheets were stiff and did not fit the mattresses well. A few kitchen supplies had not been replenished, and the main bathroom was missing a hook, which appeared to have broken off and had not been replaced.These were relatively minor inconveniences and did not significantly detract from our experience. Overall, we found the house to be comfortable, clean, and in a great location, and we would recommend it to others looking for a place near the beach.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 10, 2026
Thank you Elaine! We know how important parking is to guests which is why I have a section on the listing that says PARKING. To be clear, it states one car in the garage and car does not mean SUV or Truck. I state that the guest can fit a vehicle - which inludes an SUV or Truck in front of the house if you leave a space for people to walk on the sidewalak. I know when a guest is looking for a place to stay sometime there is confusion and the homes blend into one! But we strive to be accurate and tell guests exactly what type of house they will stay in. We try to keep picture up to date but sometimes couches get ruined, chairs break, or furniture needs to be changed around. This particular house is newly remodeled - less than 2 years - and everything is new. It is one of the last single-story bungalows and on Ocean so very close to the water - one block. Not much here to be mad at! :) 😎

The beach view & acces was out standing. The pet friendly was great. They provided water bowls & toys for our babies. Everything was beautiful. Just one quick note, that it took awhile for the hot water to come on. Thank You so much for a wonderful stay.

Thanki you for staying and we'd be happy to host you again anytime! To future guests, yes, the hot water takes a 'moment' to get from one side of the house to the other. We wish we could do something to make is faster but the water comes in the opposite side of the bathrooms = but it does get there and you have a massive amazing soaking tub and two gorfeous showers so its worth it when the hot water arrives. :)

What makes this property unique

SOME LOVE FROM OUR FORMER GUESTS:

"This home was great and perfectly located for all activities in Oxnard. I will definitely stay at this home again." Justin September 2025

"The house was well done and well stocked especially the kitchen and the beach items. Greatly appreciated the coffee and tea." John S. August 2025

"Quite honestly the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. The location was great and easily walkable to the beach. The house is very nice and is as described with a fully stocked kitchen and great bathrooms. The house is packed with every amenity needed (I have never seen an Airbnb have amenities packed so thoroughly and thoughtfully). The garage has all the beach things you need so you don’t need to bring much yourself. I would recommend 10 out of 10 times and would completely stay here again." Nicholas June 2025

"Absolute delight! Literally seconds from the sand, beautiful, updated home. Early what you pay for!" Ashlee June 2025

“Beautiful home for a great price. Walking distance to a very big beach and not crowded at all. The home was super clean and had everything you need. It was perfect for our dog with a fenced in yard too. We hope to come back and stay again in the future! Host was very responsive and accommodated every request we had promptly! Thank you so much!” Joseph April 2025

“Beautiful home steps to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the amazing bath tub with jets and the large king size bed in the primary bedroom. Being able to take our dog on vacation with us was an added bonus, as she loves the beach too. We also enjoyed having dinner and morning coffee on the front patio with the fire pit. Lisa’s home has gorgeous updated decor and large bedrooms. We also enjoyed all the local restaurants including Toppers Pizza and The Strandwich.” Tawny March 2025
