stay
In Ventura we specialize in seaside breezes and ocean views. Hotel, campground, intimate bed & breakfast, or RV park; we take pride in walkability to the sand and in the street. Plus, every range of stay; from full-service hotels, to budget motels, to, yes, oceanfront camping. Because five stars applies as well to memories as it does to hotels.
We’re an hour north of Los Angeles (six hours south of San Francisco) and several worlds away. We have no Getty, no Golden Gate Bridge, no Disneyland. But we also have no traffic, and free parking, and affordable front row seating to dolphins playing alongside surfers, free showings of vibrant beach sunsets, and world-class outdoor adventure with childlike spontaneity. We’re small town, but don’t mistake that for small time. Unless you equate small town with tranquility, and uncrowded beaches, and sunsets where you can stand alone, holding only a love one’s hand.
