Our family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful 1926 home. There were a few funky things because of it.the age but they were more than made up for by the large rooms, unique beauty, and well-stocked supplies. Great, quiet location and nice host, too.
Very nice, on a street of lovely spanish style houses, and you can just see the ocean, from the patio. We were able to cook a big hiday dinner but had to bring a few pans and serving dishes from home. Fireplace and a nearby park were also great. Excellent hosts..
We took a family vacation to Ventura and stayed at Mark’s home. It was a truly memorable experience. Mark’s home is lovely and clean and very inviting. But most of all, he and his family were so warm, we instantly felt welcome to their home and community. We had a great beach vacation with three generations under one roof. We would definitely return to his home if we find ourselves in Ventura again. Highly recommend!
Your spacious, comfortable, well-amenitized, and conveniently located VRBO made our Christmas week in Ventura the perfect gathering place for our family! Thank you for your hospitality and the bottle of wine! When we return, we’ll certainly check yours out first for availability!
Mark's property is just as described a charming 1920's Spanish style house.
We had three couples in our group. The men road in the Cool Breeze Bike ride.
We loved the house and all of the attention to detail. It was clean and well equipped. We hope it is available again next year
Stay was very comfortable, specially for our animals. We liked the central location. Hosts very pleasant & helpful. Presentation matched the stay. If the Host's would have us stay again, we would definitely do so.
Thanks

Everything about this home was great and perfectly set up for family. Each couple had their own room, and there was plenty of great communal areas inside and on the patio. The giant dining table was great for games and meals and the cozy kitchen nook for quiet morning chats over coffee for the early risers. Mark was great with communicating and super accommodating. When we had a couple of needs he was quick to respond and even loaned us an extra pizza stone from his place. The kitchen has modern appliances so cooking was great and the bbq was big enough to cook lots of carne asada & veggies. All the beds were very comfortable and the decor was nice as well. Location wise we were able to walk across the street to a small market, up the hill to watch gorgeous sunset views from the local park, and less than a mile to all the fun shops in town. We also walked to the beach and back a few times since it was less than a mile from the house to the pier. I highly recommend this place!
The house had beautiful design and architecture, along with functional and elegant furniture. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the kitchen was well-appointed. There was a nice enclosed yard for our dogs and ample parking on the premises. Even our family who came to visit us for the weekend commented on renting there again sometime to get together. The house was in a great location, not far from downtown and the beach. We would definitely consider staying here again in the future.
Mark and his family greeted us as we arrived and gave us a tour of the house. This home is warm and cozy, and gives everyone space, perfect for my family. It is close to Ventura downtown, the shopping and restaurants. Plus, it’s a short drive to the beach. My family couldn’t ask for more. It had everything we needed. Mark is a great host and was available for all our questions. Thanks for a great stay and we hope to return in the future!
