About this property

Yellow Door Bungalow

Charming and bright 1940 bungalow in sought-after Midtown Ventura. An ideal location within 10 minutes of Ventura beaches, local surf spots, Ventura Harbor, and Downtown Ventura.

The backyard patio is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or an outdoor meal.

VTA STVR #19146

To Note: Like most older homes in Midtown Ventura, this home does not have central air conditioning. Although it is not needed the majority of the year, there are a few weeks in the summer and early fall when the home can get warm. During the warmer months, there is a window AC unit in the master bedroom. Opening windows to bring in the ocean breeze while using the provided fans also helps cool the home.

We enjoyed our stay. It was a very cute house, very clean, great backyard for the dogs. The only thing which would have made it perfect was we really would have loved screen doors so we could get air flow through the house. It was quite hot when we got there. We appreciated the fans which were already going.
Great backyard

Perfect, Welcoming, Awesome Location, Clean, Well Accomodated

We are prior "Venturans" who lived in the midtown area for 10 years. We were more than excited to be returning for a 8 night vacation to enjoy the area. The home was perfect and did not disappoint! The location is perfect, it was very clean. well organized and decorated. Every thing from the kitchen supplies to the extra blankets and beach towels/bikes/beach chairs made it easy to just "be" and enjoy! The outdoor space in back was perfect for dining alfresco or enjoying your morning cup of Java! Thanks so much we look forward to our next stay with you.

AmaZing rental!

I had booked this rental six months ago and was unsure of what to expect. The photographs don’t do it justice. It is absolutely amazing and the backyard is stunning. We came here to attend a four day conference with a few of our staff, and ended up spending more time at the rental than anywhere else, working, cooking, and enjoying the space. The owner does a great job of having every amenity you need on site, including a few coffee pods basic spices for cooking and ample toilet paper and cleaning supply. They were wonderful and also accommodated a late check out for us on our final day. I will be renting here for years to come.

About the host

Hosted by Annie McGavren

Host profile image
My husband and I love sharing our sweet coastal town of Ventura with others. We live in town and are able to offer help when necessary. I work in education and my husband is a firefighter. When not working, we enjoy exploring new places with our children.

Why they chose this property

Ventura is an eclectic, somewhat undiscovered coastal town. From exploring downtown Ventura to surfing famous California breaks to bike-rides along the shore, this oceanside town has something for everyone!

What makes this property unique

The Yellow Door Bungalow is centralized to it all. This 1940 California bungalow was our first home and is our pride and joy. We have spent more than a decade pouring our love into this special home, doing our best to make thoughtful updates while preserving its original character. We love the way others fall in love with its unique and joyful feel.
