We loved our last-minute 3-day getaway to Ventura tacked onto start of a long-planned Oceanside trip. The home is beautiful and located an easy walk downhill to main street Ventura (though a tough walk back up the hill). The home has a great patio view of Ventura and the ocean, very spacious easily accomodating our six member extended family, large beds, comfortable couches & dining room table and massive tvs where we watched local cable, Netflix & Disney+ shows when not out and about.
Really appreciated the water and drinks waiting for us and the access to surfboards, boogie boards, beach chairs, towels and bikes (though we mainly stuck to beach chairs & towels).
Carlos was a great host responding in timely manner to any questions. Only improvement I would look for is maybe providing more of a guide to best locations in Ventura to visit, especially a guide to the beaches, etc... We certainly could've asked Carlos, but didn't think to and having a quick written guide to Ventura would've helped.
Ventura itself a fun town to visit with 8 blocks of main street blocked off with lots of great dining options, and some quality breweries (shout out to Transmission) in the area. The beach is a little hard to get to, and we probably did that part wrong, as the southern beach we found on last day seemed better than the one north of the house.
If you are looking to explore Ventura, Carlos' home makes a great home base for a large family or multiple couples to share!
