This was our second stay at Ellen’s incredible beach house, and just like our first visit, everything was as close to heaven as you could get. The accommodations are pristine, the location is second to none, and Ellen’s communication and kindness is matched by no other host. The kids loved the wetsuits, boogie boards, and kayaks. The adults loved the amazing kitchen and beachfront patio that gave you the most amazing view of the setting sun over the beach. We’ve decided to make our visit to Oxnard and Ellen’s home a yearly tradition. Thank you Ellen for the joy and the memories!

Amazing weekend. House is beautiful and we had a wonderful time. Ellen was great! Thank you for everything.

This group of friends have come to call this the anual retreat at "THE" beach house. Its a place that we can spend days together in the expansive mail floor working on sewing projects, cooking gormet foods or sitting and staring. There are plenty of comfortable quiet spaces on the other floors to be alone as well. We have tried many others but this home has it all!

Everything about this house and location is PERFECTION! The kitchen is AMAZINGLY well stocked and the overall house has everything you need. We have LOVED staying here over the years and it is the ONLY beach house we will ever come to. Ellen is a FABULOUS host and we can't wait to come back again SOON!

Our group enjoyed this house very much. Plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools we needed.

Ellen is a responsive, gracious host. Her home is immaculate and decorated to offer a luxurious yet cozy environment. The south facing beach with its gentle curling waves allowed us to watch the sunrise and sunset from 3 separate decks. Highly recommend this beautiful home!

This is the third time my family and I have rented this gorgeous beach house. It feels like a home away from home. Such a perfect space to gather and make unforgettable memories. The beach is pristine and our weather could not have been more spectacular. The views are magical. This is a very special place. Really amazing views of the Channel Islands and sunsets. Ellen is such a wonderful host! So responsive and very kind. Thank you again for another unforgettable beach Christmas💖🎄

Thanksgiving weekend was a repeat of a prior holiday weekend at the beach house. Once again, a perfect place to enjoy a family gathering. Add the lovely weather, and we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. The house very comfortably accommodated our family, and being on the sand during the warm days was a great way to unwind for a few days. As always, Ellen was the perfect host, responding quickly to our questions and requests. This house will forever be on our “go to” list of getaway places!

This house is beautiful & the location is perfect. My family has stayed here 3 times. It makes you feel at home as it is decorated as though one was living there. It has everything you need. One never wants to leave the master bedroom. All of the beds are really comfortable except for the new trundle beds that were put in since the last time we were there. They are very uncomfortable. Other than that you will not find another VRBO as beautiful & comfortable as this place. I highly recommend it.

A spectacular stay, amazing house on the beach. We all had the best time! Thank you for opening up your home to us!

This house is not only beautiful but it is fully equipped to make your vacation fun filled. We have rented other homes when this one wasn’t available but this one is by far the best on the Strand! The upstairs master suite is a sanctuary with stunning views, a huge walk in shower with 3 shower heads and a very comfortable bed. The bedrooms are all nicely appointed and comfortable. The kitchen has 2 large fridges with freezers, perfect for entertaining and feeding large families. So much fun beach equipment is provided including wetsuits of various sizes. Our 10 & 12 yr old grandsons were able to find wetsuits that fit them and used the boogie boards to hit the waves just like the locals! Beach chairs are also provided. We didn’t use the bikes, kayak or surfboards this year but they were available and in good shape. This house has helped us make many happy memories over the years and we’re so glad we were able to return this year.

This spacious home was beautiful, and provided a perfect setting for our three generation family vacation! It was very clean, comfortable and well stocked. The ocean view was gorgeous! This was our first time staying here, but it will definitely not be our last. Can’t wait to return next year!

This was the best location for our annual friends weekend getaway! The house was beautiful, in a stunning location and very well appointed. Though we didn’t use all the toys I could see that it would be great for a young family. We took advantage of the decks and beach and just enjoyed the beautiful view! We had most meals at home and found the kitchen to have everything we needed. Thanks so much for a memorable weekend!

We have stayed at various beach houses in Oxnard for the last 20+ years and this was the most beautiful, well-appointed home. The layout is very comfortable and all the amenities were impressive. We never needed to contact the owner but I was confident that she would be responsive. We are still planning next year’s vacation and I hope we can return to this property.

As a senior citizen I really appreciate the elevator. On the beach with beautiful sunsets. House has enough bedrooms and baths to handle a family of 10. Had everything we needed for a happy visit.

I can’t say enough about this home. This was our third year coming and we plan on coming again next year. It is the very best vacation rental available in the area. The beach is perfect. The house is clean, stocked, and you immediately feel like home when you walk in. The view takes my breath away every morning. Worth every dollar.

Third summer in a row we’ve stayed here. We come with multiple families and kids. Wonderful house. Fully stocked kitchen, great outdoor seating, tons of beach activities in the garage. And clean. Will be staying again next summer.

Family of nine - two generation. Accommodations were perfect for us.

Just perfect. We loved it and can't wait to return.

Home is exceptionally equipped like a four star hotel. It is clean, near to the ocean and a fun location. The host Ellen is wonderful and responsive. Will stay again.

This is our 5th year staying at Ellen’s. The house is perfectly situated on the beach with a lifeguard station nearby. The view is spectacular and Ellen’s attention to detail never ceases to amaze us. The house is simply perfect. This year the Grandsons learned to surf so will be booking again if space is available.

Celebrated 80th birthday with family at this welcoming site

This was our second time at Ellen's house and we've already booked our third. A wonderful place!

Great stay for our family, elevator is helpful for my niece who uses a wheelchair

Had two families there. Plenty of room to feel comfortable no matter where you were at in the house. Plenty of toys, bikes, etc. to keep your party busy. Kids enjoyed the surround sound to play music. Kitchen has everything you need. Plenty of places to golf within 30 minutes of house. Owner of the house responds quickly if anything is needed.

I can honestly say that we just concluded the best family vacation we’ve ever had, and it was all because of Ellen and her incredible beach house. To start, Ellen is one of the most gracious and accommodating hosts I have ever interacted with on VRBO. She was responsive, willing to accommodate our requests whenever they were made, and was just so kind in all her communication. Her home is spectacular in every way—the house is literally on the most beautiful beach, decorated to perfection, with the most comfortable rooms, and an endless supply of entertainment. The wetsuits, boogie boards, kayaks, bikes, beach games and toys, multiple large screen TVs, and whole home stereo system was enjoyed by every member of my family. The view from the dining room table is spectacular! Ellen’s home and her amazing hosting gave us a slice of heaven for 3 days, and we are all so grateful to her! We hope to make it an annual family trip! Thank you Ellen!!!

This was our 2nd time staying at this beautiful home. Ellen, your place is so very special. It has an aura about it that you feel the moment you walk in. Besides being gorgeous and filled with conscientious thoughtful amenities, it is warm and welcoming in the most lovely way. We can’t wait to come back. I might not be able to wait until next year. :)

What an AMAZING HOUSE, LOCATION AND BEACH VIEW!!! The house was spotless, decorated beautifully!! Everything was in great working condition! We enjoyed the house and beach views as much as each other!! FIVE PLUS STARS!!!! Food, Fun and Fellowship at its best!! GREAT, GREAT, GREAT BEACH HOUSE! This was my second time reserving this home, and staying here! Both times were satisfying experiences.

This is the second time we stayed at this property and already booked property for next year! It’s perfect for families, plenty of toys, amazing views and right on the beach. Couldn’t ask for anything better.

This was my 2nd stay at this gorgeous property and already I can't wait to return. The house is clean, beautifully decorated, and so much thought has been put into providing all the little amenities that might be needed. Communication with the property manager is prompt and professional. She's kind and thorough. It's a giant house on a small strip of private paradise and truly my dream home! I can't recommend it enough!

Vacations don’t get any better! The house is fabulous, the beach is just steps away and the host helpful and kind.

Snowed every day except Thursday. Conditions were exceptional. Condo was roomy and suited my wife and I and a friend to a tee!
