Family Vacation Casa

Great from start to finish, easy check in and even easier check out process. Loved the location and neighborhood being so close to downtown Ventura. We walked to dinner and lunch many days without thinking of driving and felt safe and secure the entire time. We will gladly be a returning guests for future visits. Our host was a very helpful and amazingly friendly neighbor.

Great location & perfect house

Really enjoyed our stay - the house was very clean, nicely decorated & the location was perfect for us. We were a family of 4 - with two older teenagers & we had lots of space. Highly recommended - cant think of a single niggle over the whole two weeks - it just worked out fine

Close to Beaches, Restaurants, Shopping

This property is very close to downtown Ventura, hiking trails, beaches, restaurants and shopping. Ventura has a small town feel even when packed with vistors for big events (X games). There are lots of activities and events happening, but access to beaches and the downtown is within walking distance of this property. Enjoy some great fishing and surfing along the CA coast. Close to harbors for swimming and paddleboarding.

Loved the location, the view and the amenities, a home away from home, nicely appointed and comfy!

It would have been nice to have a bit more outdoor space and perhaps a small bbq, but other than that, it was great, we all had a great time

Great Location!

Great location that’s walkable to great restaurants, shopping and the beach. Used it for our access to great hiking in the area (Channel Islands, Migu Peak, Inspiration Point in Santa Barbara, Santa Paula Canyon) and urban hiking in town. House was very comfortable and well stocked. Owners are very helpful!

Memorable vacation

The house has a mixed of trendy and traditional touch. There were a family of 5 ranging from 16 - 78. House had lots of amenities in additional to what was listed (cable, laundry soap, coffee, etc.) Located was awesome. Able to walk/run to the beach. Downtown is few minutes away if you want eat or shop around. Grocery store is steps away. This is just a great vacation place. High recommend if you just want to relax.

Lovely house, good for families, but mgmt company is incompetent, lies and is inflexible

Overall the stay was lovely and the house itself was in good shape. We faced 2 issues & more to do w/management company. 1st, no coffee pot in the coffee maker. We searched everywhere then contacted the Vacasa team via the text thread they had used to communicate previously. They were initially responsive & indicated a new coffee maker would be delivered the next day. We received a text saying it had been delivered - but it was not at the house. They had apparently contacted the wrong local staff (in TX not CA) and the fix offered was to call an 800 number.2nd, and of bigger concern to those who consider renting via this outfit, was we requested an extra hour to check out (from 10am to 11am) because we were stuck in traffic returning to the property. We were told that this was impossible and that the lock combination to the property would be changed at 10am and the cleaners would be showing up at 10am. I've never heard of a hospitality business not allowing a one hour extension for checkout, especially when the checkout time is on the early side already. I will note that the cleaning staff did NOT show up at 10am, so the whole premise of refusing a bit of extra time was just a lie. Unfortunately this situation caused quite a bit of unwanted stress after the end of an otherwise lovely family vacation.So if you rent the house please be mindful that the management company is incompetent, lies, and provides limited flexibility for basic customer service requests.

Great place to stay!

Overall this was a lovely home filled with little touches that made our stay extra nice. The parking is a challenge - only 1 spot for a home that sleeps six but would still recommend it to others. Two things that should be addressed - 1. the toilet paper was cheap (single ply) and that is disappointing and 2. there were some towels in the bathroom that were hung up but not clean. Recommend washing all towels after each rental even if they don't appear to be used.

Charming Cottage

The home is lovely; exactly as shown in the photos. I loved waking up and drinking coffee by the fireplace. The management company is excellent – if you have any questions they respond immediately. I do want to mention a few things: I would suggest cleaning thoroughly behind the couch, nightstands, etc. When I went to plug in my phone and laptop it was really dusty. Replace the area rugs, particularly the one in the living room; it bunches when you step on it, creating a trip hazard; it is laid out over not a slip pad, but an older, dirty rug. The bedroom closest to the kitchen – replace the nightstand and bedside lamp. The nightstand is too small to put anything on, and the light from the lamp is almost nonexistent; there’s not enough light to read a book.
