About this property

The Arabella House - Charmed Victorian in Historic Downtown Ventura

Our 1882 Victorian is located just blocks from the beach and historic downtown Ventura.

Stroll to the pier, local eateries, boutiques, bars, the Farmer's Market and cultural treasures including the Majestic Ventura Theater and the Rubicon. Or simply unfurl on the front porch with a good book.

Located 1.1 miles from the Ventura Fairgrounds, the Arabella includes 3 spacious en-suite bedrooms outfitted with luxury beds , 2 parlors, dining room, and service kitchen to comfortably accommodate up to 6 people.

Our Main Street location means the bells of City Hall, a distant train and the hum of downtown make up the soundtrack during your stay. It also means an array of delicious eateries, bars, beaches, Patagonia's flagship store and cultural spaces are all truly within walking, rolling or cycling distance. Enjoy the Ventura Pier, San Buena Ventura Mission, Ventura County Museum, Rubicon Theatre and downtown Ventura.

Outfitted with a television, game boards, books and directions to our favorite local spots we invite you to escape the 24-hour news cycle, unplug and unwind in our Victorian treasure.

Come park your car and spend your holiday exploring our seaside town on foot or take a day jaunt to nearby Santa Barbara and Ojai - just a 30minute car ride ... Or ferry out to explore the Channel Islands.

Off-street parking for two cars per stay in addition to street parking.
Complimentary Wifi and laundry facilities.

Please note, the basic service kitchen includes an original 1880s stovetop with a petite oven, farm sink, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave along with pots, pans, serving ware and a few pantry basics however the oven is small and will not accommodate large poultry or large pizzas.

Guests have exclusive use of the entire house, front porch, front yard and back patio however the rear yard incudes a studio that may or may not be rented during your stay.
