About this property

This house is a classic Ventura 3 bedroom 2.5 bath 1750 sq ft. beach house. The house is located 50 feet from the sands of Pierpont Beach. It has expansive ocean views from many of the upstairs rooms and balconies. This is the perfect house to spend the week lounging at the beach with your friends and family. This home can accommodate up to 6 people. There are two bedrooms with queen beds upstairs. A third bedroom has 1 twin and 1 full bed. Besides the ample porch space from where you can watch the sun go down over the ocean, there is also an inviting enclosed patio in the front yard where you can drink your morning coffee. In the back yard there is an enclosed yard with dining space for barbecues and dinners al fresco. We have a well stocked kitchen with all utensils needed to cook a family dinner. If you don't feel like cooking, there are several restaurants a short walk away. This would be safe place for young children to play outside in the enclosed yards. There is little to no automobile traffic on this lane which makes it safe for the older kids to get around. The beach starts within steps of the house.
This is a house ideal for family vacations, couples retreats, family reunions, reunion with friends, and a general getaway to take some time to breath in the sea air and listen to the ocean's roar. We are located 3 minutes from the 101, one hour from LAX, 30 minutes from Santa Barbara and 10 minutes from downtown Ventura. Within walking distance there are grocery stores and local beachside restaurants. There is a trolley which stops within 2-3 blocks of our house and which carries visitors to downtown Ventura and the Harbor. Channel Islands National Park can be accessed from Ventura Harbor (a short ride from our house). Our beach is a wide, beautiful sandy beach with a few sand drifts. There is surf fishing, surfing, swimming, and good beach walking and birding and sea glass collecting. It has it all for the perfect beach vacation.

Great beach house

We do 2-3 rentals a year, by far! This was the cleanest place we have ever seen. All the rooms are big, there are 3 full couches in the living room! The yard is good size, private and plenty of sun, if you don’t want to make 50’ walk to the beach. Kitchen is fully stocked, gas stove and storage for guests. A new BBQ and a king bed would be great upgrades, but a solid 5 star rental.

August Visit to Ventura

My family had a great time - the house was a perfect size, the beach was a very short walk from the house; within walking distance there were a couple of great little restaurants and the town of Ventura is a very short drive. Marcia was very responsive to any questions or needs we had. Thank you, it was a truly memorable stay.

Steps away from sand

This very large home was perfect for our stay of 6weeks. Large bedrooms, great backyard and sweet front patio, easily accessed and perfect for pets with hard wood floors and tile throughout. Garage to store toys and bikes and plenty of parking. Just enough linens and lots of storage closets and beautiful lighting. Decks off of bedrooms were a bonus and overall just an easy, relaxed home.

Wedding Week

The house was in a perfect location for us and my young grandsons enjoyed the backyard and ocean. The house needs a lot of up dates. A king bed in the master bedroom. It’s big enough. TV was very small. Very outdated furniture and washer and dryer were filthy. The host was very attentive to any questions we had. She made us aware that there was a huge bees nest in the eaves and did have it resolved within a couple days of our stay. We were there for our daughters wedding. The house served its purpose.

Family vacation

The location is great. The view of the beach is out of one of the guest bedrooms which was a bummer. I didn’t sleep well due to the mattress in master bedroom. My husband and I took. Jacuzzi bath but it leeks there for the flood down stairs gets a puddle. We only had TV with streaming if you have Netflix etc. we really missed watching our favorite shows in the morning late evening. Couch is so uncomfortable I was trying to contact owner we accidentally left a lap top. Please let us know we will pay for postage

What a Beautiful Beachfront Home....

We stayed for 10 days, and had a really good experience. Marcia, our host, answered all my questions with timely texts, and was friendly. We had our grandkids with us, and dad for the first part. The three bedrooms and 3 bath setup was just right for us, dad, his son, and the two girls. Beach access was great, we went about a block walk to the Seaward lifeguard tower and beach for the many beach days. Safety first. The outdoor shower afterwards was a blessing, and it was even heated. The living room is spacious and adequate, ie, the wicker couches were a little "rugged" but do-able. Hehehe I think all of us made the mistake of sitting down hard between the wicker pieces and sat directly over the edges. Ouch. You just do that one once. The kitchen was spacious, plenty of kitchen utensils and dishware. Be sure to bring or buy your "essentials" like cooking oil, coffee, butter, bread, spices, etc because they are not included. Towels, laundry, laundry soap all good; we brought our own bath soaps and shampoos. The beds were good, personally we prefer a king, but the queen in the large master bedroom is adequate. Speaking of the master it is HUGH, with a nice well-lit bathroom as well. The garage has the washer and dryer, and that's where the trash bins were as well. Parking is off street, so you either park into the front of the garage door, or you "diagonal " park. We had a big Chrysler Mini-van and it was no problem. What a beautiful beach home!

This beach house was perfect for us. My husband and I spent a lot of our youth in this area, so we were happy to spend some time here in the Pierpont beach area again. We knew the month of October would be a good time here; it’s perfect weather for walks on the beach. We had sunny, warm days, some fog, but also many beautiful, clear days. We loved that the beach was only two houses away from us. We spent time on the beach watching our grandson play. With friends, we took nice, long walks along the shore. When we could, we headed out to the dunes to view the sunset. It was all in all quite relaxing. The house was perfect for our needs. We had some family stay with us and a few friends dropped in, too. The house is casual and “beachy.” There is a nice back yard and our little dog Mikey was quite happy out there. I often sat in the back (or the front patio, too!) to read in the early morning. If you want to cook (which we didn’t do very often), the kitchen is quite nice. There are dishes for all and a dining room with 6 chairs. Some of our favorite activities were right there in Ventura. The Ventura Harbor is just a few miles south. There are a number of good restaurants with views. Top This Chocolate, where you can design your own chocolate bar, is worth a visit. I also have to mention my favorite store Barefoot Boutique. Several times we headed into town for coffee and pastries at Café Ficelle. We usually came home with a loaf of their bread and some coffee for the house. One of the big treats was up near the mission on Main Street where a number of blocks have been turned into a pedestrian area only. The restaurants have expanded out onto the street. On the weekends there is music and lots of people watching. For day trips, there is so much to do. Of course, there is wine country not far north (Santa Barbara and Los Olivos). We like going to Carpinteria which is only about 15 minutes north. It has a charming downtown with antique stores and restaurants. I also recommend heading inland to Newhall (Santa Clarita). Go to Main Street where there are a number of good wineries and restaurants. All the twinkly lights at night make it so pretty. Location, location, location! We'll be back.

Wonderful location and a perfect family home!

We had a wonderful time in this comfy cozy well equipped home just a 20-30 second walk putting your feet into the sand. We stayed here with our two children ages 5 & 8 years old and felt like it was our own home. Marcia was very thoughtful and detailed on any & all details before arriving. And, the home was very clean with a great amount natural light as well as plenty of windows to breath in the ocean air. The backyard was very cute with outdoor seating/table and perfect size for our 2 Boston terriers to enjoy their stay. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, all dinner ware, knives and utensils for cooking. Their was plenty of linens, towels and beach towels for the stay. One of the rooms has a great view of the ocean with a patio to sit out on and drink your morning coffee. And, we put the outdoor shower to great use since we were at the beach everyday. The only suggestion I would make is to update the mattresses. They weren’t horrible but they definitely could use an upgrade. We will be staying here again for our next family beach vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Marcia Smith Bourain

I am a retired professional who has lived in Santa Barbara since 1996. Since retirement, I have been involved in improving and renting out our various properties. This is my second vacation home rental. We liked the idea that the house was so close to our home that we could be close at hand for anything that might arise to help our guests. We also enjoy using the house and love vacationing on the beach in Ventura

Why they chose this property

I had been looking for beach property in Ventura since discovering the Ventura lanes. The area is a sleepy old fashioned beach neighborhood with all the amenities needed to hunker down to a real beach vacation yet close to Ventura, LA, and my home in Santa Barbara. When I found this house in the summer of 2013 (I had been looking for 2-3 years), it was love at first site....close to the sand, well maintained, plus ocean views from several spots. I have enjoyed decorating and furnishing the house and look forward to further opportunities to add my own mark on the house.

What makes this property unique

Our house is unique to the Pierpont Lanes area in that, though it is a relatively large house, it also has a large fenced in back yard suitable for outside gatherings (complete with fire pit and gas barbecue). Also charming is the fenced front patio and deck overlooking the ocean from the second floor bedroom. We are close enough to the ocean to enjoy the sound of the waves and ocean breezes in addition to ocean and mountain views from most rooms. The inside is light and airy thanks to an open atrium (staircase) where light streams into the house from several skylights. The windows are set up to provide cross breezes from the ocean as well as more light. The kitchen is large and well configured and is a comfortable place to cook.
