Nice little cottage at the back of the owner’s property. As others have mentioned, the view while in the cottage is of the owner’s home. There is a lower deck with a lovely ocean view. Lots of stairs to get to the cottage, as is listed in the description. Nice, quiet, safe neighborhood in the hills of Ventura. I got a lot of great walking in! We didn’t have any contact with the owners, just messages pre- and post-trip. All communication was prompt and helpful. The amenities list a washer and dryer. These are not in the cottage. (Maybe the owners let you use theirs?) My one friendly suggestion would be to clear cupboard space in the bedroom for guest use. There are extra linens, which is nice, but there are also quite a few personal items from the owners that could be removed. We appreciated the easy check-in and check-out. All in all a nice stay. We’d return.
