Great location. Plenty of space, only one complaint.
There is no hot water. Cold showers and boiling water on the stove. Not a problem for a bunch of guys, but might be for families.

The water heater works! but if we get enormous wind very rarely as you did; it might blow the pilot out. The water heater is outside in a sealed room with vents. If anybody calls us which this guest did not; we have our maintenance man who lives across the road can light it immediately. Sorry that we did not get any call form this guest that the pilot went out due to heavy wind.

This property was a good find. The house needs to be updated, and has a weird layout. There is a bathroom upstairs that is blocked off which really makes the master bedroom less desirable. Loved the location right on the beach and all of the beach toys available for use. We had a great time and would stay there again.

The 4th bathroom upstairs on the 3rd floor of the extra shower and hot tub can be used if guests' desire for a fee of $55 a day extra. We block it off so we can keep the rates low for all levels of budgets of guests' can use our beach house. If guest cannot pay the additional 55 fee, the house can still be utilized by them for "equity". For non-holiday stays from November through February there is no extra charge for this 4th bathroom and it is for everybody to use at no cost.

Get away to Silver Strand Beach
Silver Strand Beach is always great and it didn’t disappoint this time. We were three generations, group of six, celebrating Easter and relaxing. The house worked well for us but it definitely needs some updating: baking pans were old and scarred up, towels were thin—and rental does not include beach towels (knew this going in but very surprising), bedding/sheets were thin. Never used equipment in garage bc weather was not warm and kids were too young for bikes, boards and ping pong. House was clean. Zan was very responsive when we had questions.

Great Location - Great View
Everyone enjoyed Silver Strand Beach and the view from this home is unbeatable once we cleaned the windows. The property itself is nice overall with lots of space and sleeping accommodations. Not sure if I missed this, but the house set up like a 4-bedroom condo upstairs and a 1-bedroom condo downstairs. It worked out well for our multiple family get-away giving one family a little extra and much needed privacy. Beach access was easy. The decor of this property is comfortable enough, we slept well in the beds and it was clean, but it’s is not fancy or elegant as I’ve experienced in other vacation rentals. Not a deal-breaker for me, but could be off-putting to some. Also, we visited in the winter and it rained so our outside time and use of the patio and deck furniture was limited. But we noticed that all those items: chairs, umbrellas, loungers etc all looked pretty dilapidated. That happens at the beach but had we visited in the summer and found that I would have been disappointed. Last point: There is an apparent serious concern for noise at this property. There are signs and reminders EVERYWHERE. Not a big deal for us, but if I had stayed here with kids who played outside I would have been stressed out the whole time.

It was never described to be overly concerned about noise at the house; but as described in the listing this is not a commercial area and most peoples' houses on the beach are occupied by residents not vacationers. and all we ask is that you treat the neighbor area as you would at your residential neighborhood as well. Our guests kids play outside on the public beach all the time! This beach area has many travelers staying there year round. As stated by this guest they were at the house during one of the worst atmospheric rivers California has ever experienced and thus the chairs, umbrellas, loungers all looked pretty wet and tattered from the incredible wind and storm. Immediately after this storm the chairs, umbrellas, loungers were either cleaned or replaced.

Old Place needing TLC and too much beach tar...
There's beach tar everywhere and it ruined our shoes. It is annoying to stay on the upper floor with only a toilet and no sink! The house needs some TLC. Very small kitchen!! The location is quiet and that was nice. If you visit Oxnard, you must go to Toppers Pizza! Best pizza I've ever have!

Silver Strand is the Way to Go!
This house is right on the beach and had plenty of bedrooms & bathrooms for larger families. We paid the extra fee for use of the full master bathroom but didn’t use the tub. The kids did enjoy the ping pong table. I would recommend bringing your own beach chairs. There were plenty of TVs and a larger one in the main living area which was great for family movie night after a day at the beach. As others have mentioned the house does need some updating and maintenance.

Great Beach Stay
The house is exactly how the pictures show in the VRBO Listing. It was a great location and amazing beach and sunsets. The house was large enough for our family and we had such a great time. The house could use some upgrades including the ancillary listed items such as beach chairs that are mostly rusted or broken. We enjoyed our vacation and would stay again.

We did throw one of the operable chairs (with fabric back and seat) away that had rust on the metal that was not satisfaction.

1013 ocean. Oxnard. Ca
All toys needed repairs. My 3yr old grandson feel thru seat straps on porch chair. The property needs work. No A/C. When hot you open windows. Most had no screens which in turn brought in bugs, mosquitoes. I paid a lot of money to stay in a beach house with no usable toys and according to management grumpy neighbors who will call police if you walk near there property or enjoy the outdoors after 10pm. Beach access good but waves in this area were pounding and had a strong back wash. Not suited for kids
Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Sept 2023
Thank you for stating "Beach access good". The seat on the porch was immediately repaired the day you vacated the house. The toys were inspected as soon as we got this review and found to be used by the guest's kids and operable for sand toys. We advertise no central air conditioner as most every house at the beach in Oxnard does not have A/C as the cool coastal breezes are good for everybody. We do supply many fans and there is forced air circulation on the house system that this guest did not bother to contact us about. We are sorry that the hottest day of the century occurred during this guest's stay. Most every window has screens, but as this reviewer mentioned the openable doors do not have screens. This is a residential area not a commercial hotel zone; so yes we take extra concern for our neighbors (especially after 10 pm) just as normal people would be with their residential at home neighbors. Yes this is a beach just like every beach in Southern California that has waves for surfing and soft waves for kids to play in. This beach is very suited for kid friendly fun.

Beach!
Right on the beach! Walk out the door onto the beach. We saw a whale from right outside the first afternoon. The house was very clean and lots of room. Lots of great beach stuff there to use. Some stuff is in need of updates but nothing major (ie the poor fuseball players feet). There is no working hot tub. There is a sign on it saying this is not part of the description online but it is listed on the amenities on vrbo. But we certainly had plenty to do with the bikes, surfboards etc, so there were no complaints about that. The location was great to visit the channel islands too!

Pros: perfect location, incredible views, convenient to everything, comfortable beds, property manager response time is excellent, house was very clean. Cons: can’t use 3 decks after 10pm. We did not know this prior to booking, apparently talking will upset neighbors. This house comes with a lot of rules. Master bathroom is not included in your rental fee, they do allow you to use the toilet only (we did know this in advance) but who charges extra to use sink and/or shower) they do provide hand sanitizer because you don’t have access to the sink. What we could see of the master bathroom is gorgeous, white and gray marble but not available. House is older, water toys need to be replaced (deteriorating, broken, rusted) deck furniture is old and rusted.

It is always our goal for our guests to have the best stay possible. You can use the decks after 10 pm and to abide by the government STR laws it just cannot be loud to disturb the residential neighbors in the neighborhood. As described in the listing this is not a commercial area and most peoples' houses on the beach are occupied by residents not vacationers. and all we ask is that you treat the neighborhood area as you would at your residential neighborhood as well. This beach area has many travelers staying there year round. The house has 3 full bathrooms included in the price. As clearly described in all listings: We as a benefit only include an additional toilet room in the Master bedroom. If guests want or feel it is necessary on the 3rd floor to have an additional Carrara marble shower that has separate tub with a sink; then we can offer them on the 3rd floor for an additional fee. The fee is necessary thou because of the extra additional utilities costs to operate the heated tub. Deck furniture gets replaced of cleaned every spring for the upcoming peak season which this guest did not get to utilize.

Wonderful Beachfront Property Showing Its Age
The location was absolutely magnificent!! No complaints whatsoever. There was plenty of parking, and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook family Christmas meals. The only negative is that the place shows significant deferred maintenance. If the deferred maintenance was taken care of, this place would be a 5+.

Brought our family together
We would definitely rent here again. Waking up to sunrise over the beach was inspiring, and having the kids all run out the door to play in the sand was a dream. There was plenty of space for each family to have a private bedroom split over three floors, and a great big space overlooking the beach for us all to be together. Bottom floor has one bedroom that can be closed off from the rest of the house. Top floor is a gorgeous master suite with big deck and couch that everyone fought over who could get (though it has a toilet but no sink or shower). Two bedrooms in the back on the second floor have no ocean view and are great for kids. Description and reviews are pretty accurate -- great place, though certainly not the newest and fanciest place out there.

Location is magic
This house allowed my family easy access to beach, waves, sunrise, sunsets, and wildlife. Two out of four mornings we saw 7-10 dolphins playing in the waves in front of the house, seals in the wave breaks, the sound of sea lions in the harbor. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Toppers pizza delivers and it is delicious. The decor is 1980's which is what I believe makes this beachfront house affordable. if you are looking for modern and fancy- this may not be your house. If you are looking for a large space to enjoy nature & family this place is for you. Aleyna was very responsive to questions/concerns.

Family Getaway
This is a great house to vacation with kids. There is plenty of space, direct access to the beach, and all the amenities you need to cook at the house. One thing to be aware of is the tar deposits on the beach near the shoreline. They stick to the bottoms of your feet, but the home owner provides baby oil under the sinks to easily rub your feet clean in seconds.

Very disappointed
Very over-priced. The property is very old and worn down. Nothing like pictures showed. The photos are very misleading. Items that are there to use for fun are in horrible condition. We had to go rent boards. They have very strict rules you don't know about until you can't get a refund. The beach isn't as close as it looks and at the water is a huge drop off. We had someone come on the property twice without notice and watered the sand and bottom deck. Super creepy! Definitely not worth the price! Won't be going back!

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Sept 2023
We are sorry that Felicia did not enjoy her stay and that she expected more than what the price is for what she had paid. Every guest we have hosted, all love the location of the house, Silver Strand Beach. Silver Strand is a big beautiful, uncrowded sandy beach. It is a big sandy beach that kids can run, play around and a big sandy beach for family gatherings. Yes, it is a bit of walk over beach sand to be in the water, and sand is harder to walk on than pavement; so that is why Felica may said (a big drop??), but everyone loves it & the beach. Felicia's review pretty much said that every ocean front house at Silver Strand Beach has too much sand far from the ocean, how ridiculous was that. We took the house pictures that are posted on Vrbo's website ourselves; because we want them to be exactly of how the house actually looks. We did not use a professional photographer to make the pictures look better than the real house. Our past guests always said the house looks exactly like the pictures because they are the exact pictures with no touch ups. Yes, the house was built in late '80, it is not a newly built house. With three stories, it is great for family gatherings, clean, simple, and comfortable. The beach can be windy at times; we send our maintenance guy to hose down the beach level deck thinking it would be nice to keep the deck clean for guests. Felicia did not appreciate it. She never let us know. She could have called or texted to let us know; then we would have cancelled the service. As easy as that. Also the sand that is watered is not part of the property and is part of the public beach. We do have high consideration for our neighbors. It is important to be good neighbors no matter if at your own home or when you rent a house for a vacation. We had past guests who unintentionally drove into neighbors' driveways and blocked their driveways.. We must ask and warn our guests prior to their arrival to act as good neighbors. No one wants stranger to go into their properties. Nothing is wrong for trying to be good neighbors. Felicia should understand and respect our neighbors, and everyone gets these few consideration rules more than 2 months before they arrive; and thus can cancel when they get them if the guest do not want to comply with them and the guest will get a full refund at that time. We take pride in having our prices less than the other comparable Oceanfront houses on Silver Strand Beach; and please look at our competitors and it is easily seen that we are the best priced oceanfront house in Ventura County. We only have 3 longboard (8 footers) surfboards for guests use; two of which are soft as most of guests are beginner surfers and therefore we do not have short boards (less than 7 foot) for their use. Definitely Silver Strand Beach is not for Felicia, but she could understand and respect our sandy beach and neighbors.

Great location
The property was as advertised. It was right on the sand and just a short walk to the water. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 4 children. With three levels there was plenty of room to spread out if we wanted, but we spent most of our time on the beach or the back patio. The garage had a ping pong table which was very entertaining in the evenings. As well as lots of beach toys for the kids, including boogie boards and wet suits. Being three levels there are stairs to climb up and down, which wasn’t a huge issue for our group, but could be for less mobile individuals. The one thing that would have made it perfect is if there was a fridge on the bottom level. Since that is the only level with beach and patio access we spent all of our time down there, and it would have been nice to have the food and drinks down there as well. Thankfully we had an ice chest and we’re able to keep some drinks downstairs. Overall it was a great weekend and we’d definitely stay here again.

The kitchen was fully stocked. My teenage son enjoyed having his own studio. The previous reviews were all accurate. All appliances work to during our stay. The owner and the property manager were fantastic to deal with. I enjoyed my stay and can’t wait to return. The garage was fully stocked with sand toys, beach toys, kayaks, wetsuits, boogie boards, etc. I would simply recommend that they replace the patio furniture (chairs) before the busy season as its in need. And maybe the foosball men :) Thank you!

Great low-key location to unwind from the daily grind. Located in a very quiet neighborhood right on the beach/ocean. Two decks to enjoy the views and sunshine.

Wow! What an amazing home! We had such a great time, the location cannot be beat. The beach is beautiful and literally in the backyard . The house had plentiful sleeping spaces and enough room for our party to spread out. The views were amazing, the neighborhood is beautiful. The property manager and the owner were both friendly and hospitable and easy to reach. We plan on making this a yearly trip as long as the rental stays available!

Super fun Beach house
You cannot beat this location for a beach vacation. This house provided everything we needed for an awesome week at the beach. We ran out to the sand every morning and watched the sunset every night from the deck. The garage is packed with all the beach items you could need for kids and teens. There is plenty of space inside for hanging out and a large dining table for big groups. But we were mostly outside enjoying the sand and sea. There is a lifeguard out front which was a nice comfort since we had a gaggle of kids boogie boarding and swimming. There is an outdoor shower with warm water for post swim rinsing. We had a blast. Thank you!

Live the dream
This is one of those rare occasions where our experience far exceeded what the expectations set by the listing. Yes, it's beautiful. Yes, it's on the beach. Yes, it's equipped with everything you could ever want and need for your friends, families — small and big alike. But the owners were incredibly responsive, always helpful, and remarkably kind — despite the fact that we nagged them quite a bit when we first checked in because we didn't read all the instructions provided thoroughly. They made us feel at home, and what a wonderful home it was. We didn't want to leave — and we can't wait to go back! I would recommend this place 100% to anyone. Please take good care of it for when we return!

Unobstructed ocean views
This place is right on the sand with nothing to interfere with your views of the beach, ocean, or sunsets. Lots of space, old but comfy, with lots of beach stuff to use. Everything worked well except the dishwasher, which was scheduled to be replaced after our stay. Quiet neighbors, and we reciprocated. I would stay here again next year but right after we left, someone rented it during the time we could come. Siri, the manager/owner was very helpful and promptly responded to my questions.

Good location but lack of upkeep
This home is located in a great spot, ocean front property. However, many things did not work. Most of the blinds were broken and filthy, outlets in kids room were loose and not covered (super dangerous), the dishwasher is one load away from literally falling apart, oven broke while we were there and had to have repair people come twice to install a new unit (not ideal on vacation), kitchen not well stocked, beach chairs and toys in garage all old, partially broken or rusted. The owner is super nice and willing to help but this property needs a ton of TLC to make it comfortable.

Thank you for your review of “This home is located in a great spot, ocean front property. Good location The owner is super nice” It is interesting that you felt there was not an enough stocked kitchen, with all of the reviews saying they liked the stocked kitchen. The toys and equipment where bought new, but get used a lot and we do replace them when they break or are not usable anymore. The outlet covers: thank you for bringing that to our attention as the guest immediately previous to yours broke them and during the property manager check out inspection they were not expecting outlets to be broken and didn’t have the opportunity to look at them at the check in and check out inspection. But once again thank you for letting us know and we have replaced them immediately. We have ordered a new dishwasher even thou the existing one works so we do not get anymore false claims about it. The pictures on the advertisement are exactly what the house offers and it is priced accordingly to that; and we are always ensuring and replacing immediately anything that does not work.

Location is simply awesome. Calm and beautiful beach.
The Silver Strand Beach is wide open and the views/sounds from the ocean made for a relaxing week. There are some issues you should know before renting though. The top floor bedroom with the best view and private deck has a toilet but does not have a sink or shower/tub. So it's the "Master" but you have to carry your toiletries to the main floor's very small bathroom (shared with another guest or two) for all but using a toilet. The dishwasher and laundry machines are in disrepair -- dishes had to be re-cleaned a few times and the washer/dryer only worked for a couple loads. One nite we watched a movie using our Amazon Prime account and the only TV which can accomodate is in the lower level tv room for which we brought in beach chairs for seating. Thus, a few simple upgrades could truly make this rental far nicer. If you have children, the garage is loaded with fun items. There's plenty of good sleeping space and we appreciated the well stocked kitchen.

Thank you for your review of "There's plenty of good sleeping space and we appreciated the well stocked kitchen. Location is simply awesome. Calm and beautiful beach. Silver Strand Beach is wide open and the views/sounds from the ocean made for a relaxing week. the garage is loaded with fun items." The house is a 5 bedroom, 3 full bathrooms house as advertised. Yes we do offer a small additional toilet on the 3rd floor only as bonus. This is all spelled out in the advertisement; and 3 full bathrooms is all the house offers. The Master bedroom on the 2nd floor does have a full bathroom. The laundry machine works. Our technician was also out on July 6 to do regular maintenance on it. The dishwasher as stated on the machine works best if the guests take the food off the dishes first. Food left on dishes put into the dishwasher have clogged up the dishwasher. Water in the beach area is quite hard and as time goes, the waterline in the dishwasher gets clogged up. We have decided to get a new dishwasher which will be installed in August. At anytime, the property manager Aleyna will help guests operate the large house. Aleyna lives across the street from the house and is available 24/7. Aleyna is the Concierge and Assistant to all guests staying at the house. We hired Aleyna exactly for the reasons this reviewer has addressed; that in such a big house of 3 floors (the appliances, equipment and 6 TV’s) operations, guests will need help in figuring out the intricacy of them. The 2nd floor smart TV does have internet streaming usage, but guests need to access the internet through the connected DVD player next to that TV. Again these things Aleyna instructs guests at check in and she is available 24/7 to help guests with. Also all instructions to the TV’s are in the welcome book on the table. In regards to Amazon Prime on other TVs in the house, it is interesting this reviewer did not try the other TVs, as 2 of the 6 TVs are operated with Amazon's FireTV Stick. All of our guests appreciate this nice house and we always like productive critiques from our guests.

Outstanding location right on the beach. Walk out your downstairs back door to the sand. Gorgeous views from both decks. Has ALL the toys and kitchen stuff you need. A great place to hunker down as we "sheltered in place" March/April 2020. Would love to come back again!

Fun at the Beach
Brought our extended family to this Oxnard beach house for a holiday get together. This was our first visit to Oxnard and we all had a great time. The beach house location was terrific - right on the beach, close to the harbor and stores as needed. There were 10 adults and one child - the house provided plenty of room for everyone and there was no lack of activities to do. The weather was fantastic for December (sunny enough for shorts and T-shirts during the day). We enjoyed walks on the uncrowded beach, building sand castles and lounging in the sand right outside the backdoor. We also enjoyed a holiday treat by walking up the street to the harbor and catching the lighted boat parade with music and boats decorated with lots of lights for the holidays. There is an outside lights out / noise curfew of 10:00pm which would be easier if moved to 11:00pm on Friday / Saturday nights - but it was fine. Property was great: fantastic views, plenty of dishes, towels and beach toys. Might suggest either removing or repairing outdoor Jacuzzi (and really who needs that when you have an entire ocean at your doorstep?). We had a great weekend at this lovely beach house and would highly recommend staying there!!!!

Great Vacation House for Families!
This house was perfect for our family gathering! It has a beautiful view of the ocean, and the amazing sunsets, from every floor! We walked right out the back door onto the sand. The garage was equipped with a wide array of beach toys and equipment for every age and interest. Our teenagers loved the surfboards, boogie boards, kayak, and paddle board! Our younger children enjoyed a variety of sand toys. The owners were very helpful and answered our texts within minutes. We would definitely rent this house again!

Great Place to Relax
My family and I had such an amazing time, and getting to sleep with the sound of the waves was amazing. Siri was always available and quick to respond to anything that came up. One thing that is inaccurate in the listing is the check in time, but Siri worked with us to accommodate our expectations. There was a situation at the end of the visit that was probably not handled the best, and at first left a sour taste in my mouth. Due to this incident (Which I cannot see happening to anyone else) my mind is unmade up as to if we will be returning quests. If that situation wasn't there we would continue to pick this beautiful home as our yearly rental. Having the beach out your backdoor makes beach outings so easy. You can even allow the kids to play in the sand as you sit on the deck and enjoy the view.

We understand about the pipe removal heavy equipment that occurred at the time of your stay. This pipe on the beach is not there very often at all; as it only comes then goes when the harbor to the north fills up with sand, in which they move the sand out through the pipe to a location about 2 miles away. This pipe is a rare occurrence as it takes a long time of wave energy to fill the harbor with sand.
