We love staying here at this cute bungalow! Every year we come we enjoy the backyard oasis and our dogs love it too! It’s fun to go to local breakfast restaurants and downtown Ventura has great shopping and restaurants. The owners are great and helpful to work with!
I felt like I had been transported to my happy place! There was outdoor seating to enjoy the weather, everything you needed indoors and it was conveniently located! We had a great stay.
I would rate this property as a five but the last day and a half we had some power surge issues reached out to the property owner and he responded & checked out ( this could have been out of his control)
Loved the decor of this place and the outdoor space is awesome. My husband, dog and I hung out there a lot. Nice to have a fenced in yard as well. I wish there had been more stuff to walk to, but the residential neighborhood was cute. And lots of things were a short drive away. Overall great place!
Enjoyed our stay! Loved the family friendly amenities. Highly recommend.

Fantastic property if you are going to Ventura. Owners very responsive and friendly and the house really feels like home as soon as you walk in. Great location and really enjoyed our stay.
We love coming here to this bungalow. What a cute place and close to the beach, restaurants and cute boutiques! Enjoy the beautiful resort like backyard too!! We always look forward to a future visit.
We used this charming house as a base as we explored the Channel Islands. Everything about the place was lovely--very clean, comfortable beds, great communication with the owner. We loved Ventura, and would definitely recommend visiting this cute town and lovely homey home.
Cute house a cool backyard. The dogs loved it there. Close to downtown and the beach. Enjoyed some yummy restaurants, the aquatic center, the beach, coffee shops, and walking all over.
We love visiting this cute, quaint beach house! Loving close and easy access to beach and dining in downtown Ventura. We also love the tropical front and backyard landscaping, enjoying our coffee in the mornings outside. Also the host is so great to work with!
This bungalow may only be 700+ sq but it seems larger. It was quite comfortable and cozy.
The backyard area as well as the front yard courtyard is a wonderful place to enjoy the great weather in Ventura.
Tim checked in to be sure everything was okay and assured us that he was there if we needed anything.
We were there four nights and did not want to leave.. Will definitely be returning..
We felt very at home in this adorable bungalow with an excellent front and back yard as soon as we arrived. Tim, the property manager, was very attentive, easy to interact with, and friendly. We will absolutely stay again!
Beautiful house with everything you need for a nice stay ! The little guest house was very impressive (tv with roku inside !) The owner was very helpful and nice. My family and I enjoy our stay!
Very clean, Owners were responsive to all our questions. Love the privacy the gates offer. Nice front yard and patio. We would like to stay there again if in the area.
Everything about this place was perfect! Check in was super easy and the house has everything a family would need. Our favorite feature was the large backyard and the "cabin" where we'd curl up and watch movies at night. The location was very convenient to Main Street and the beach. The owners were super responsive. We'd definitely stay again.
We had a great time, despite some rain, at this great home. Every detail was taken care of by the owner. Great location near the beach, downtown Ventura, restaurants, pubs and wineries. Tim, the owner, was accessible and was in contact with us during the storms. Overall, a great experience. We would definitely rent again!
Tucked away and set back from the road, Tim's place is a real haven. The house is very well equipped, particularly the kitchen, and the outdoor space is really charming. Very handy to have the detached bonus room in the garden, too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
Everything was lovely and the house is indeed charming and cozy. We especially appreciated the backyard with twinkly lights for evening dinners and meetings.
We absolutely loved our little house and the back garden was wonderful. The homeowners are incredibly communicative and so gracious. We loved the kitchen and it is kitted out really well. We loved cooking in it and eating out in the garden. It has such a warm and cozy vibe and we spent two fabulous weeks there. We loved our morning walks to Butter and Fold for the best pastries and coffee. Still miss it. We also loved walking up to Art’s Corner diner - great food, really friendly staff. We really got to know Ventura and adored all the dreamy architecture. Thanks for making us feel so welcome. It is a special home.

About the host
Hosted by Tim Snowber
Robin and I have been together for almost 25 years and, along with raising two daughters, some of the achievements of which we are most proud are the properties we have bought and renovated together as vacation rental properties. We are drawn to properties that have been around a little while and love to find ways to enhance the charm that is to be found in a home that was built in a different time.
Why they chose this property
We had been wanting to move to Ventura for years, but could never find a way to make it work. We had just concluded it wasn't possible when a flyer for the Bungalow landed in our mailbox. We knew we couldn't live in it long term ourselves but that it would be great as a vacation rental. We love being able to stay here as well as share it with guests wanting to visit one of our favorite spots on the planet: Ventura.
What makes this property unique
So many things to do, so close at hand: relax at the beach, hike or ride in the hills, enjoy great food (and local breweries), wander the shops on Main Street- or just hang out in the backyard. Life is good.
