I treated 2 friends to a birthday weekend. Aaron's house was just as described, and some. It is a cozy, peaceful get-away place, with comfy couches and beds, in close proximity to beach bike paths, wineries and nearby Ventura night life. One reason we chose Aaron's place was because it had bikes and helmets to use. They could use a little tender love and care, but we were happy to be able to explore areas away from Silver Strand (bike locks and a seat adjustment wrench would be helpful, but this is a bike geek writing). The whole weekend my friends kept saying what a good find Aaron's place was. The backyard fire pit and BBQ were reaching out to us, but there was just not enough time to enjoy it all. We would come back in a heart beat. Thanks, Aaron, for creating this lovely, relaxing beach oasis!
