Charming Beachside Flat
Another great stay at Logan's. The beach is only a few steps away and the Salt Marsh Reserve right across the street. One of my favorite things to do is either an early morning walk on the beach, or just stay in with an early morning cup of tea and watch the sunrise light up the hills. Coming to Logan's feels like a welcome home. I've been coming for several years and intend to continue.

Sea View, Boards, Bikes, W/d
Austin was quick to respond about any questions and overall a great host! I recommend 10/10 experience. A beach right across the street, safe area, and had everything we needed. Will be back again :)

Sunrise at the Beach 1 Block to Sand + Dogs
Steps to the beautiful beach and around the corner to Pierpont village area. The home was comfortable, though perhaps a little dated. For 2 people, it was plenty of space. We spent most of our time out enjoying the area, and the location is perfect for that! Covered parking was a plus!

Mermaids Grotto - Just Steps to the Sand
Fabulous location right on the beach AND walkable to some very nice restaurants and shops. The condo is well designed and furnished. Two full baths and well equipped kitchen. And a wonderful State Park beach is right underneath you. Not crowded, quiet, blissful week spending time with family and new grandchild!

Carpinteria Shores-307
Clean. Accurate. Great spot. No bells or whistles. But did the Job.

One Bedroom Ocean Front Home
Cozy beach cottage in a gorgeous setting. Neighborhood was quiet, and I loved hearing the sound of the ocean waves. Would come again.

Rolling Beach Dunes Cozy Studio
loved it cause it was at the beach not too small or too big nostalgic

The Shoals Corner
We LOVED having our Thanksgiving weekend at The Shoals Corner! The unit is charming, very comfortable, with a pull-out couch/bed conversion in the living room that gives a great view of the ocean (and sunsets!). From there, we could see a pod of dolphins feeding for quite a while one morning! We brought a crockpot and fixings from home, and made our turkey breast in the cozy kitchen for our holiday meal. The kitchen is really well stocked for up to four people. There's lots to do in central Ventura, so we worked out at a gym a couple of times, shopped for food and beverage extras next door to the gym, and drove around to look at neighborhoods. We also played miniature golf another day and thought about going to a movie...but the beach vibe, fresh air, and sunshine were so satisfying that we avoided indoor activities. We're already talking about going back next year. THANK YOU, MARY, for your hospitality and the opportunity for us to have a wonderful vacation!!
Waterfront house rentals

Ventura Keys Living: Boat+Beach!
We loved the house! The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed the backyard and being able to have a view of the water. There were great restaurants nearby! I would definitely stay at this house again if it was available.

Waterfront Retreat
Great location in a safe neighborhood! There was plenty of space for the six of us to spread out. The only things missing were Kleenex and paper towels. Tao was very responsive and understanding. We needed an early check-in and a late check-out due to the marathon, and he was very accommodating. Highly recommend his place!

Contemporary Beach House with Expansive Ocean View
We had an amazing time during our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for the perfect location in Ventura and by the beach. The three-story layout of the home was perfect for our group and had several common spaces which could be shared. There are sweeping views of the ocean and park from several of the common spaces including the living room and kitchen, two balconies and the primary bedroom on the third floor. The home is extremely well kept and was spotless when we arrived. The host left us some delectable cookies and a bottle of wine! Jayne (host) was quick to respond to any questions which we really appreciated. The house is located across from Marina Park, steps to the beach and a short drive to Harbor Village. You can also walk to Seaward Lane less than a mile away where you can enjoy some of the local restaurants, yogurt ice cream, bakery and coffee shop. We ate at Social Tap and Pierpont Tacos; both were very good. We couldn’t be happier!

The Sandy Getaway
Cruz was so helpful and responded to our questions immediately. The house had everything we needed and more. Has a great vibe! Our big group really enjoyed gathering here and making some memories!

MODERN SLVER STRAND BEACH HOUSE STEP2SAND SLEEP 10
Beautiful house and great for families. We loved the decor and detail put into decorating the house. Very unique and special. We will definitely be back again! Thank you Sarah for being so responsive and helpful!

Casa Playa- luxury in heart of West Beach with A/C
Great place to stay. About a 10 minute walk to the Funk Zone and 25 minute walk to downtown. Would definitely stay agin.

Romantic Luxury Water Front near Santa Barbara
We absolutely loved this place! It was so relaxing to be right on the water, and to be able to hop in the hot tub on a cold morning :) The beds were incredibly comfortable and the primary bedroom felt like a luxury suite. The host and property manager are also lovely. Very kind and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back!

Miramar Sand
Perfect perfect perfect. This was a perfect place to have a vacation with our family of 5 and our pooch. Perfectly situated, perfect view of the ocean from the main room and the deck, perfect amenities. It had everything we wanted, beach chairs, towels, a blow up paddle board, and more. Place was perfectly kept, which is so hard to do on the beach with the salt water, breezes, sand etc. Clare made everything so easy and obviously understands hospitality. Most appreciated, a simple check out…we didn’t have to spend the last day stripping beds, cleaning towels, whatever. She just kept it super simple. The crazy fancy Miramar Hotel is just down the beach…but honestly, we’d stay here every time instead. Worth every penny. Thank you Clare! Perfect.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Beachfront 2BR Condo in Sunny Carpinteria
My high school friends and I were celebrating our 6o-th birthdays. Spencer's beachfront condo was the perfect spot for this wonderful weekend. Everything was new and spotless. All of the rooms were beautifully decorated and well supplied. The location is steps from the beach and also just a block from Linden street. We spent day shopping and enjoying the different restaurants and the second day soaking up the sun. It was perfect to have the filtered water in the kitchen tap, new appliances and t.v.'s in each room. All of us loved the quality of the beds. Highly recommend!!

Beachside 2BR Condo in Walkable Coastal Town!
This place was perfect for our family. Very close to the beach with easy access parking and very close to the main drag. We absolutely loved it.

California Beach Property Steps to the Ocean
This place is amazing, cannot express how great the value is. Practically beach front and cheaper than most hotels in the area!

NEW Carpinteria Beachfront, Walk Everywhere!
Beautiful location with beachside views. Clean and well supplied. Parking on site, which is very helpful.

Cottage by the Sea steps to beach with heated pool
Great host, great location, fun stay. Highly recommended. Jumped on the surfliner Amtrak and took our kids to the Santa Barbara Zoo. Hung out on the beach just down the road from the apartment. Awesome time!

Enjoy Water Views of Marina! Kayaks and Dogs too!
We had an excellent time at this airb&b. We walked the beach every morning and saw a big group of sea lions that were very fun to watch. The sunsets we saw were insanely gorgeous. We highly recommend this lovely condo. You won’t be disappointed! The hosts were very communicative.

NEW Crown Jewel of Carpinteria Shores Beachfront!
Great place. Perfect if you have young kids. We will be back

Carpinteria Beach front condo w/ FULL OCEAN VIEW
Staying at Rachel's Beach Condo is consistently an incredible, inspiring "home away from home" experience... The place could not be more perfect (there's always personal touches and new stuff in the kitchen that makes me say "I have to get one of those!") and the location (right on a gorgeous beach and walkable to everything in town, plus a sweet playground for kids) can't be beat. Plus, Rachel is like family (in only the good ways!). So looking forward to our next visit to Carp! (As long as we can snag a week on the very busy condo calendar.)
