THE SPACE

One bedroom, one bathroom, fully equipped galley kitchen.

Fully renovated in 2023 with care and quality throughout.

Amazing bungalow

This bungalow had been recently remodeled and it was done so tastefully, the colors, the furniture, the appliances were all just great. I could tell they had spent a lot of time and money on the changes and the end product was a darling, little bungalow. I would definitely stay there again.

Charming Cottage- Great Location

Perfect for a weekend away. A short walk to the coast and/or downtown. We parked our car in the convenient off street parking spot and didn’t get back in the car until it was time to leave for home. The cottage is comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated. Our host Sarah was readily available for any question we had.

What an excellent property!

I stay at several properties a year. This property by far was the best all around set up. The owners have thought about all their guests needs. The outdoor space is small but beyond beautiful. The property was not only clean but very well maintained! Quiet neighborhood close to everything in downtown Ventura. Plus within walking distance to several great foodie spots!

Perfection in a Classic California Bungalow

Exceptionally cute little house that is perfectly set up for a quiet, relaxing stay. We spent many mornings and afternoons in the beautifully landscaped yard with hummingbirds and butterflies. The fire pit and grill were really nice additions. The host was very responsive, and the check in process was easy. There is a great little corner store and coffee shop just a block away and it is a short walk to the beach as well as downtown. We will definitely be back!

Best "Little House"

This is a perfect Little House for two people. My grandchildren named it the Little House! My husband and I spent almost 5 wonderful weeks here. It is bright, has a yard and is just enough! The house is walking distance to downtown, the beach, many restaurants, shopping and more. The overseer was responsive to all my questions and concerns. We will be back there again.

Ventura getaway

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Boat House, a beautiful one bedroom cottage in Ventura, CA and we had an amazing experience. The location is simply unbeatable, as it is walking distance from both the beach and downtown Ventura. The place is beautifully designed and well-appointed with all the modern amenities one could ask for. The attention to detail in the decor was impressive, with a modern coastal style that felt both comfortable and stylish. The living area was spacious and comfortable with plenty of seating for relaxing after a long day out in the town. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the necessary appliances, we didn’t get a chance to cook or use much of the kitchen as we were visiting Ventura for my sister’s wedding. The bedroom was cozy and inviting, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom was super clean and well-maintained, with plenty of towels and toiletries provided. Outside, there was a charming patio area with a grill and seating, as well as a beautiful lemon tree. We picked up breakfast and coffee from Frontside Cafe 5 min walk and truly enjoyed the patio. The location is perfect to explore the surrounding area, including the nearby beaches, restaurants, and shops. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for a couple or to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway in Ventura. The attention to detail, prime location, and modern amenities made it an excellent experience. Five stars for sure!
