Second time around

Beach Cottage was ideal for our family of four (two children 8 and 11). We were looking for a relaxing week by the beach after other stops in Central California and that is exactly what we got.

The beach was literally at the end of the street so easy to take beach chairs. body boards etc with us (all at the house) and great to come back to at lunchtime when it was really hot and we were glad of some welcome shade in the back garden.

There was more outside space than we had expected and ideal for an evening BBQ.

If you want to venture further afield, Santa Barbara was only 25 mins away and LA an hour (both trips very easy).

There are good restaurants at the beach (Italian very good) and at the harbour which are only a few minutes drive away.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a beach holiday away from the masses but near enough to LA etc.

We have had a fabulous three months. The beach
house has been the perfect get-away for us with
our four legged kids! In fact, we loved it so much,
we're thinking about booking again for next winter.

I can't say enough about how comfortable we felt
the entire time. The beach house is warm, cozy and
the perfect distance to the ocean. Mia (our Toy
Aussie) really had her schedule down on what time
to hit the sand each morning and evening. It was
so much fun to watch her chasing those shore birds
and meeting all the little friends she made along
the way... very nice people on the beach and in the
neighborhood. We felt very safe and secure. Enjoy
your summer and we'll definitely be in touch!
Thanks again! Deb & Dan

What a wonderful place and time the four of us had. We had "NO" idea this would be such a wonderful time. The beach the surrounding area was great so much to do. The wine tasting was wonderful also. Don't miss out on all the Winery's. We loved the beach house and it was exactly like the pictures. We will see you again next year. Can't Wait!!!

The beach house has everything you need. Our stay there was the best week of the summer. We want pedding boating, play on the beach, watch the sea lions from the sand,at night we walk to the beach and watch the fireworks. In the morning we walk to starbuck and then start our day all over again. There so much to do will not enough time. Can't wait to come back.

Real comfort, cool evenings, warm afternoons, and uncrowded beaches -- who could ask for more?! The house is pleasing to the eye, beds are comfy and the kitchen is exceptionally well stocked. Watch the sunset from the front deck and bar-b-q in the private back yard. Plus there's lots of parking. Don't miss the boat trip to the Channel Islands. You can take an all-day trip and kayak around an island or go for a half-day and whale- and dolphin-watch. We saw Blue whales in the middle of July!!! Take bicycles or rent them near by for a ride up the coast. Explore great music and art in Ojai, a short drive away, or pick your favorite place to relax and read. We can't wait to go back!

My family and I had the best vacation ever! Every day we played at the parks, swam in the ocean and BBQ in the backyard. The kids ran down the street to catch the gorgeous sunset. Neigbors were friendly and at night it was quiet and peaceful.We are rebooking every year! Our family needed this time together and my husband and I relaxed. next year is already booked at this perfect vacation home.
