This place couldn't have been more perfect for our family vacation. Location, location, location! It was the most perfect location. Was even walking distance to my cousins' who was hosting our extended family reunion. And even though you are right next to the neighbors, it was exceptionally quiet as well.Cruz was a great host and was quite expeditious in answering our questions. Hoping it's available next year when we'll be back in town. Thanks Cruz - we loved your place.

Great location and awesome property

The house is in great shape and the location is unbeatable. Sandy Shores Realty was extremely easy to communicate with. All in all, everything was better than expected. Thank you so much, Cruz!

Large Space close to beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great - really noisy and hard to get to during the school day, but quiet at night. The floors were really dirty at check-in, but everything else was very clean. House had everything we needed except for a wine opener!

Storm Interrupted

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately the winter storms that rolled through CA the week and weekend made driving to Ventura dangerous and unadvisable by Cal Trans due to flooding and road closures so we were unable to make the 7+ hour drive to Ventura. Besides missing out on our vacation the property management company was unwilling to give us any credit towards another weekend or even a portion of our payment back. That was their right based on Airbnb policy who didn't recognize the storm as "abnormal" but as a business I would have hoped for a little consideration. The property manager told me for a week he would call me without one actual attempt to do so. I will no longer be using Airbnb and will look for alternate rental avenues in Ventura than Sandy Shores Reality.

Great Location for Beach or Bike Lovers

Quiet street with secluded patio entry in front, and driveway in back. Lots of space for multi-generational groups. We loved the balcony with ocean views! Cool October evenings were perfect to leave the windows open. TV was easy to use, kitchen was adequate, and beds were comfortable. We enjoyed several bike rides -- to the pier (north) and the harbor (south). Convenient to shopping, cool downtown Ventura, even Santa Barbara, Ojai and Hollywood (we visited them all). Folks, vacation rentals are homes that are "lived in," and you can't take out a magnifying glass and expect perfection. A few minor maintenance issues (burned out bulb, icemaker not working) did not affect our stay at all. The neighbors come out to see the sun set every night. This was a good value -- I recommend it.

Really nice place and location

Great place, awesome location. Stayed with my elderly parents and friends - was worried at first about the stairs to the living room and kitchen and 2 bedrooms but they did fine. Loved the upstairs deck with great views to the beach. And great lighting in living room . We had nice weather too, walked to the beach and hung out, appreciated the wagon with beach chairs! Only thing that could be improved is more attention to details like in the kitchen - one stove top burner knob broken and the ice maker in freezer doesn’t work. Otherwise thank you for a great stay.

4/10 Poor

Unwashed sheets, including bodily fluids, makeup, hair, etc

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If anyone chooses to stay at this property I highly suggest checking all the beds and sheets when you arrive, and if you find issues, report to Airbnb immediately! Because I waited past the 24hrs to report to airbnb, I had no recourse. Shame on me for thinking that the property management company would want to make things right! We arrived to the property at about 6:00 pm, unloaded the cars, and proceeded to start our vacation with dinner and drinks. We were catching up, as we hadn’t seen each other in years, and finally headed to bed at 11pm, after a long way of travel. I was greeted to makeup covered pillow cases and crusted bodily fluids on both the too and bottom sheets, at least 2 other beds in the house clearly had unwashed sheets//hairs, crusted foods, etc. I texted property management that night, no response and no other sheets available to change beds. We then had to strip all the beds (5 of them), because we had to assume all were dirty, and wash and dry all linens in order to make the beds to go to sleep that night. We didn’t make it to bed until 3 am. TREE finally messaged the next am, asking if we wanted new sheets, told Cruz too late for that, as we spent all night washing them. All we asked for was our cleaning fee of $350 to be returned, as clearly the house wasn’t fully cleaned. A horrible finding especially with their claims of enhanced COVID cleaning protocols. The house itself was fine and in a good location, but I would recommend against any listing from this company, as they will do nothing to make it right. Because it was after 24hrs of check in, Airbnb couldn’t hold funds, and when they approached TREE, they refused to credit any monies back. Once again, all we asked for was the cleaning fee, none of the rental money. TREE was professional and helpful until I exposed the issue, and then I never received another response.

I never received any notification on how I would receive the key to the house He never responded back to me until 3 hours after I was suppose to the get the key.

Awesome place

This place was right by the beach. Perfect home and space for a little getaway with family. We were all a little concerned because of COVID-19. Everything worked out fine. House was clean with hand sanitizer everywhere, plus we brought extra with us. Beds were comfortable, with lots of space. Kitchen was awesome with open spaces to talk amongst our family. Lots of goodies to take to beach, chairs,umbrella, kids toys and boogie boards. I was born and raised in Ventura and moved away miss the beach so much. This was great location and house to spend with family. Will diffently want to stay again at this house.

What a vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is steps from the sand, and even in mid-November was a lovely getaway. It was well laid out for our multi-generational family gathering, and provided ample space for everyone to be together or to have space to "work from home". There are many thoughtful touches -- bikes, boogie boards, beach towels; the kitchen is roomy (who doesn't want to cook while looking at the ocean???). We enjoyed it thoroughly.

Beautiful property

The property couldn't have been more beautiful. Everything was great, clean, well laid out. Great neighborhood. My only complaint is that it's been 2.5 weeks and I still haven't received the required hefty deposit back after multiple calls and follow ups. I was waiting to get that resolved before reviewing the property because other than that it was perfect. TREE Real Estate please look into this and make it right and I will be happy to update this review. *UPDATE* I called the main line and got the refund back. I would recommend the property but be sure to follow up for your deposit. Be aware, there are 5 twin sized beds, bunk beds and two queens. So if you have tall people in your party, this is something to consider. There was ample parking for multiple vehicles. Also, be aware it gets warm inside the house in the mornings, the sun shines right in and there are no window shades, shutters, etc.
