70s-style bungalow with private hot tub - minutes to the beach & downtown

Retro Hideaway 836

Tune into good vibrations at this two-bedroom bungalow just two miles from downtown. This hip and happening home's got all you need for the quintessential SoCal trip - from its colorful retro decor to its breezy location just a couple blocks from the beach. BYO beach cruiser for sunny afternoon rides through scenic bike paths - just a block from your front door. Cool off with a dip in the Pacific, then take a soak in the hot tub in your private fenced yard. And if that's not enough Mother Nature for you, you'll find spectacular views at nearby Serra Cross Park and lush blooms at Ventura Botanical Gardens. From trendsetting restaurants to renowned wineries, eclectic boutiques to stunning parks, excitement for every traveler awaits in the surrounding area. After dinner, bring home a bottle of wine from Four Brix or Old Creek Ranch Wineries.

Shake off the sand and enter a beach-chic living room with original oak floors. Earthy hues with occasional pops of color and bold patterns bring a 70s-inspired chill factor to an open common space. A bonus living space is located in the garage. Sprawl out on the sofas and unwind in the private second living area. Step down to the artistically polished floor of the sunken family room. The kids will love climbing the ladder to the plush carpeted loft, where they can enjoy a secret hideout beneath skylights that open to let in the ocean breezes.

A vintage kitchen features wood cabinetry, a cobalt tile backsplash, and a full suite of appliances. Enjoy home-cooked meals in the dining area that seats four in funky tropical chairs around a glass-top table. Or, fire up the grill and dine alfresco - the outdoor space offers seating for 10.

Poor Communication and Average Experience

We were disappointed with our stay and the communication from Vacasa. The amenities are not necessarily available: no pot for cooking – we bought one; dishwasher didn’t work; no wash clothes or towels in the kitchen; ran out of toilet paper (two rolls for three people for 5 days?). We could hear the neighbor’s TV and conversation through the wall from the den. However, the most annoying part of our stay was that this house was advertised as having a hot tub, which was inoperable. I would not have brought my elderly parents if we had known this detail. When I communicated with Vacasa about this detail, they pointed out that it is not stated as an amenity in the location’s description even though it is in the advertisement's title, so they have no obligation for this amenity. Communication did not go well with Vacasa. My passport was not accepted when making the reservation, so I had to call to complete the reservation. When we reported the issues through VRBO and their help email, it took over 12 hours for them to respond. It is unlike that if we were in an emergency, they would have responded in a timely manner.

Visiting family

My son and his wife and my grandson, his wife and their one year old baby live in Ventura. The baby's 1st birthday was this year and I wanted to spend a lot of time with him and the other family members in the area. My son and I rented the house. It perfect for 2 persons, two bedrooms, but one bath. The location is wonderful, right near the beach and a state park. The house was old, but had all the electic hookups you could need. We will probably go back.

Cute and clean

This house is so close to the beach, you can literally just walk to it. However, it is fairly small and I would say not very good for small kids. It’s good for adults and older children, but you definitely don’t wanna bring little kids here because it’s not very kid friendly, but it is a great place for a little ocean getaway, the jacuzzi was wonderful, and there’s lots to do in Ventura. And did I mention that the beach is literally just right down the street? The house is a little dated, but it’s very charming the main bedroom that has the queen bed, the queen bed was very hard and uncomfortable, but the twin beds were very comfortable.

Marathon Weekend Trip

We stayed here for the Ventura Marathon and the hot tub was a must for post race to recover! The house was in a great location near the beach and the beds and bathroom were very clean. We did see a mouse/rat in the kitchen one morning even though we had thoroughly cleaned up dinner the night before. Allergies were acting up while at the property which made it harder to enjoy. We told the owners of our concerns with the smell of cat (allergies) and the rodent issue and they were very responsive and refunded us $200. Overall, was a great place to stay!

I love this place. But the management company is a nightmare.

This cottage was ideal for me. Great location. Wonderful patio area. As is stated in the property description, there are some areas that need upgrades. But I loved the old beach cottage feel. Everything about the place was great…. Except for having to deal with the management company. They kept giving me the wrong information. They told me that the laundry was coin operated and cost $7.50 per load. The laundry is not coin operated. And detergent is provided. The management company also kept sending me notifications stating that my check out time was 10:00am. Even after I sent them copies of my reservation confirmation showing the 11:00 check out time. They also told me that coffee filters were not provided. This is not true. Coffee filters are provided. Honestly, if I were the owner of this property I would seriously consider finding a new management company. On a basic maintenance level, I do wish that someone would check that all of the lights are working. And why are there three remotes when only one operates the TV?

Great Getaway

Our stay was very relaxing and comfortable. A few small maintenance things that we let the property manager know about that would not be noticed unless you spent an overnight stay but nothing that affected the enjoyment of our stay. The park and beach were across the street so we couldn't have asked for a better location for us. The management was very responsive when we reached out to them and very cordial in communications. We would stay there again!

Great place! Good vibe!

We loved this stay. So close to the beach and pier and a good amount of space. It took us a day to figure out the hot tub, but once we did, we really enjoyed it.

Nice location but a little bit tired.

The house was fine overall and in a really good location. Nice being two blocks from the beach and across the street from the state park. But the house was lacking a few things. First, the hot tub was really icky. Brown water ran out of the saggy top when we opened it so we didn’t go in it. There was also a plug-in water fountain out in the deck area that had green stinky water in it. Lots of lightbulbs in the house were out. There was a huge damp load of white sheets and towels in the dryer that the cleaners had left in there. I had to take half of it out and dry and fold it in two stages just to get it dry. Wasn’t happy to be doing that on my vacation. There are scratched Teflon pans in the kitchen that should be thrown out. Also, the instruction for the trash needs to be updated. The trash from the previous guests was still in the trash cans that were lined up in the driveway. We put ours in on Wednesday morning as instructed but the trash truck will apparently not take the trash unless the cans are pulled out to the side of the street. That instruction was lacking so the trash cans were all loaded full and not emptied when we left on Thursday. I hope the homeowners never change the tile work in the bathroom. It is unique and pretty. Also, the one fan we could find in the house doesn’t work. We had to go buy one.
