Charming 'Nantucket' Style Beach Cottage

I grew up in Ventura and came back for a wedding, and this cottage was the perfect home base. We were never more than 10 minutes from anywhere we needed to be. .It was a busy week, but whenever we had a little downtime, we could slip away and walk less than a minute to the beach. We loved watching kids play with their dogs, surfers chase the perfect wave, and, in the early mornings, pods of dolphins pass just offshore. I even managed to squeeze in 20 minutes of body surfing. We truly savored every moment..The cottage felt both larger and cozier than expected. There was plenty of room to reconnect with old friends, and we spent several evenings lingering around the fire pit. The towels were thick and luxurious, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook, eat, and enjoy ourselves. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I can also vouch for the couch and the outdoor lounge, where I found myself relaxing in the sun, listening to doves and watching hummingbirds in the trees. The entire space felt peaceful and restorative..I did need to work a little during our stay. The Wi-Fi was strong, even outside, and easily handled everything I needed. While there isn’t a dedicated remote-work setup, the backyard table worked well for occasional tasks..If you’ll have us, I’d love to make this my home away from home whenever I’m in Ventura. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage—it made our trip truly special.

The property is clean. The kitchen is well stocked. The garage has two beach chairs, an umbrella, and a boogie board with no leash. The backyard is beautiful with lots of places to rinse sand off. The location is close to the beach on a quiet street. The hot water heater is a bit small and can only sustain short showers. There is no A/C so be prepared. It would be nice if a few more windows had screens so they could be left open all night.

Wonderful place. The kitchen gadgets and pots and pans were - well like we have at home. It's obvious the owner stays here and like a good functioning kitchen. Thank you!The beach access! The backyard with fire pit! All wonderful. We'll definitely be back.

The house is everything and more. Beach, grocery store, restaurants and liquor store all within walking distance of the house. Such a great location and homeowners that are down to earth.
