About the host

Hosted by JLM Rentals - Leslie

Host profile image
We are Jeff and Leslie, retired professionals who love to travel and enjoy life. We’re fortunate to own and manage four vacation homes in some of our favorite places—Galveston, Texas; Petoskey, Michigan; Ventura, California; and New York City’s Upper West Side.

We spend time between our homes throughout the year depending on the season and rental schedules. In the spring and fall, we usually set out on longer travels, often exploring internationally and enjoying extended cruises.

When we are away, our daughter Sasha and our daughter-in-law Melissa help with guest messages so you’ll always have someone available if you need anything. We also have a local property manager/contact for each home if on-site assistance is ever needed during your stay.

We truly enjoy sharing our homes with guests and hope you feel comfortable and at home .

Why they chose this property

We originally chose this neighborhood because of a career opportunity and quickly fell in love with it. Even after a career move took us elsewhere, we decided to keep the cottage because of how much we enjoyed living here.

When the beach cottage was our home for a time, and we appreciated the relaxed coastal lifestyle, easy access to the beach, and the slower pace of Ventura—while still being close to great restaurants, shopping, and cultural activities.

We return whenever we can and still consider it a special place. We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

What makes our cottage unique is the combination of location, comfort, and outdoor living. Just steps from the beach, it offers an easy, relaxed coastal experience without needing to get in the car.

The spacious patio creates an inviting space to gather, dine, or unwind after a day of work or play. Inside, the bright open layout and updated kitchen make it comfortable for both short getaways and longer stays.

Having once been our own home, the cottage is thoughtfully set up with the details and conveniences that make it feel welcoming and easy to enjoy.
