Oxnard

"We were thrilled to spend a long weekend in this lovely beachside home. Truly right on the beach, so you can wake and fall to sleep with the accompanying music of the waves. Great beds, great beach walking, a very comfortable place to relax and enjoy life. The suite at the top of the house is spectacular, with wide ranging views of the ocean and beach. There's a great market a mile a way, Trader Joe's a few miles further, so we cooked our way through the weekend and constantly enjoyed the sounds and the view (snowbirds!) between our walks."

"Over the years, I’ve rented a number of homes thru Homeaway and I can honestly say that this was the best ever. The house is right on the harbor and has an open floor plan that makes it quite nice for a large group to be together whether you are at the game table, in the kitchen, in the dining room, or living room. The home has four very comfortable bedrooms with a sauna and private deck for the master bedroom. Then there’s is a fully-stocked kitchen and a number of televisions throughout the house with cable TV, internet access and Wifi. There’s also a large wrap around deck around two sides of the house with plenty of deck seating and two barbecues that made it fun for dining. We enjoyed using the number of bikes, including a surrey bike, as well as a four-person paddle boat and the kayaks! Next time, we plan to include the optional electric duffy boat. Mandalay Bay Beach is a nice 10-minute walk away (though you do have to cross Harbor Boulevard), as well as the Sunday morning Channel Islands Harbor Farmer’s Market which has a nice variety of local produce. I myself am a golfer and enjoy playing the two challenging courses at the River Ridge Golf Course just up the street, but there was so much here to do that I never even unpacked my golf clubs! Thank you, Jackie, for the use of your beautiful home."
