About this property

Purple Moon Sea Breeze Cottage

VENTURA CITY PERMIT NO. 2267

Purple Moon Seabreeze Cottage is a beautiful historic Victorian bungalow located three blocks from downtown Ventura. We offer a queen-sized bed, king-sized bed and air beds are available upon request. This is a full sized home complete with washer/dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, televisions in both bedrooms and living room, lovely back deck in the back yard and a front porch area for sitting and admiring the view of the mountains and quaint architecture of Ventura. We have quick access to the beach. It is about a four block walk and there is a bridge to get you there faster, if you prefer. Downtown has lots of shopping, restaurants and a movie theater which shows ten movies. It is all within walking distance. We have an old-fashioned claw foot bathtub that comes with a shower head on it. We have a nice front and back yard for you to enjoy. Our front porch is an exceptional place to be during the parades. We have quite the view, too. Our home faces the beautiful mountains and homes across the street, which are really pretty to look at. Ventura is a lovely coastal city and the vibe is very laid back and the home is very comfortable. We have a piano for you to play. There are board games and yard games that are provided. We have internet and cable too!!

Incredible stay! The host was communicative and so kind (from beginning to end of stay). The house is very unique, special, and so charming. You won’t find anything else like it! The home was clean and had everything I needed. The host also added some special touches of having the lighting dimmed when I arrived with soft music playing. The location is perfect - walkable to downtown and the beach - and close enough to the freeway as well. I’ll definitely be staying here again and the host really went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. Thank you so much Dee!

An excellent place to stay if you are in town for anything on Main st or around that area. Very quaint but with a definite theme to the home. Our family loves staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Dorothea

Host profile image
I have owned this home since 1994 and I love it! It is the most beautiful place in Ventura to me. I love to sing and I am a business owner too. I have another place in Nashville, TN that I love too that I rent out as a vacation rental business. Purple Moon River House. The very best part of this vacation rental business is making people happy and that is what I like to do.

Why they chose this property

No words. Just beautiful. Pure JOY! I love to walk downtown and do the fun things downtown. The beach is super close and the neighbors are wonderful.

What makes this property unique

You can literally get anywhere downtown from here. You can walk to the ocean and downtown and you can also go up to the Cross and see the view. Just a great location!
