With our great weather year-round, it’s hard to believe that the most traditional of vacation times is still our most popular: Summer. But if you’re planning on visiting Ventura any time soon, we recommend leveraging those busy times for your benefit by staying with us Spring, Autumn, and even Winter instead. Why, you might ask? The bottom line is, all the amazing things to do in Ventura are not limited to one season. If anything, some of our off-season times are our most beautiful–and one of our best-kept secrets. With sunshine all year, we’re the land of endless summers for good reason, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have seasons. Beat the crowds and keep reading to find out why each season is a killer time to come stay with us. Spring. This enchanting and too brief time of year is easily when we get the most rain–in levels most states would laugh at, but still, water sometimes falls from the sky, we promise. If there’s going to be a time for inclement weather, this is it. But this is also, hands down, the most ecologically beautiful time of the year to visit the state. Springtime is when our hills turn so lush a green that it has been compared to Ireland or New Zealand. Wildflowers bloom, birds sing, and wild bunnies hop across our favorite hiking trails. This is the perfect time to experience the Channel Islands at their most picturesque. Book a ferry with Island Packers and sail out to idyllic Anacapa Island or rugged Santa Cruz. Take in the rainbow beds of wildflowers and rolling green hills on these mini-snapshots of California in its most primal, untouched state. When you post the pictures, people will ask where it was you’ve possibly been.
