We've been camping at steckel for numerous years and have never had any negative interactions with…read morehost or anyone for that matter. We camp with locals of Santa Paula and are all in agreement that the host Brie is the worst host we've ever came across, her husband is rude and they both lack people skills. They husband and son approached our campsite about 15 till 10pm and without introducing/identifying themselves as the camp host rudely told us to quiet down and shut radio off. Our group had the whole cul de sac of rv campsites reserved that weekend and we are all aware and practice good camping etiquette, we were in no way in violation of noise and our conversation had been toned down because we had children sleeping in a tent. He was told to work on his approach and identify himself next time. Then comes brie at exactly 10 pm rudely telling us to wrap it up, at this point I had enough. We exchanged words and she got emotional and cried, I asked her to leave our campsite and I'd be filing a complaint with park management. Contact Staff Management if you have any issues with hosts.

I'm rating and reviewing the section of the campground that I camped at. I did not get to check…read moreout the entire day visit area or the rest of the campsites. My campsite was #14. I was with a group so all of us were able to have this cul-de-sac area to ourselves. Just a few available sites, but they were not occupied while we were there. As you pull into the campground you will find a kiosk to pay for the day visit. There is no check-in area for campers. You just go to your site and rangers or camp host will make their rounds and check at that time if you have reservations. I had to call because I had no clue what to do or where to go. As it turns out there is a sign for campers as you turn the corner to enter the property, that campers turn right. I was looking straight as I pulled in so I completely missed that. As you enter the park visitors will go left and campers will go off to the right. Most of us arrived on Thursday so the campground was pretty quiet (month of Jan). I was towing a teardrop trailer, I've gotten much better at backing in so it was not a problem. Some of the sites near me made it easy for some to just pull-thru. Not far from me were the restrooms/showers and also the camp host. The dumpster was nearby as well. I thought that was great, then I thought it might draw critters to the area. During my stay it wasn't an issue. But, we did see a good size raccoon walk through our part of the campground and one of our campers found footprints on the table. So watch what you leave out overnight. You could hear the stream that just below us. We didn't find the time to make it down to the stream, but I did find time to sit on a log with the view of the stream and have my breakfast. Bathrooms were ok. Trash cans were full, sinks were a little unkept. I found this to be surprising because all our campers had their own bathrooms in their trailers. And I mentioned the campground was pretty empty. Showers are coin operated. I did not use the shower. Camp host (wife) was pleasant, her husband not so much. The wife approached our group one night and said they could deliver firewood to our site for $20. So the next evening I went to the camp host site and rang the Ring doorbell. No answer on the first ring so I tried one more time before I walk away. A guy came out and I mentioned that we wanted to buy some wood and if it could be delivered to our site as mentioned the other night. The wife came on the Ring call (she was at work) and said yes I could have some wood delivered later in the evening. Husband turned around and mumbled I'm going back in to finish my nap. So there's that. We got our wood and that's all I have to say. There is a bird sanctuary that I did not get to check out but saw it each time we left the campground for an outing. Hearing the birds chirp, especially in the morning, was cheerful and pleasant. I would like to return to this campground again. There is so much to see in the town nearby.

My friend booked a 1 bedroom/1 bath with full kitchen and a small living area with a pull out sofa…read morebed through VRBO. There was 4 of us that stayed in the condo that sleeps 4. We were on the 2nd floor where we faced the beach and was away from the Main Street. We were above the garages which is probably a nice feature to not have to worry about making too much noise for anyone that would have been on the first floor. The CIS provided everything you would need (aside from your own personal toiletries). We had a small stackable washer and dryer in the unit, there was dish soap, laundry detergent packets and coffee and tea. In the bathroom there was a mounted dispenser for shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I was one of the lucky ones to sleep in the queen bed. It was comfortable but the pillows were really small and disappeared the minute your head laid on them. I feel like there could have been a few more extra pillows around so that each guest could have had 2 pillows. When you open the windows, we got great air flow. It got a little stuffy at night so I would recommend opening the windows a bit if you are on the second floor. The bathroom was large but lacked ventilation as there is no window in it. There was a fan in the bathroom but it wasn't really working well enough. I loved that we were about 1,000 ft from the beach. The manager, Jen was great and making sure we were doing okay. She gave us Sangria on Saturday afternoon and there is fresh pop corn in the lobby. You can borrow beach equipment from the office. We borrowed a few beach chairs. We were a little disappointed when we saw that our unit was not the one featured on VRBO which highlighted a hot tub on the deck. What we saw on VRBO also showed that were would have more than 1 bathroom but we did not get that exact advertisement. I think they just use a standard ad as "the model" but you don't get exactly what is advertised. We were still happy with the condo and the services that we would stay again.

I was initially hesitant about booking this place, as the reviews and pictures didn't quite capture…read morewhat I was expecting. However, I decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. I reserved a two-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment that comfortably accommodated three of us, and it could easily host a family of six thanks to its spacious layout and a convenient pullout couch downstairs. The amenities exceeded my expectations--shower pressure was excellent, making quick and refreshing showers easy especially if you're a big group. The condo includes utilities for four people, with plenty of towels provided (Thanks Tina). While there's no air conditioning, the ocean breeze just a block away kept the unit comfortably cool throughout our stay. A nice bonus was having a hot tub in each unit, perfect for relaxing evenings. Parking was also straightforward, with one dedicated spot included. A heads-up for warmer months: if you're sensitive to heat, keep in mind that summer temperatures can get quite hot, and the unit might feel warm without A/C. Additionally, because of the communal setup, it can get quite loud--sounds from neighboring units are audible--so don't forget your earplugs if you value quiet. Off-season, this spot is ideal for friends' getaways or a quick romantic escape. Overall, a charming and practical choice that offers great value and a fantastic location near the ocean.

Just finished an amazing Labor Day Weekend stay at the Rolling Thunder Ranch. We had a fantastic time at the ranch and were shocked at how much the property felt like a tropical resort.

The outdoor spaces are extraordinary, gorgeous nature, minutes from town and shopping with resort amenities - had an all-day bocce tournament, epic morning workouts in the giant yoga room, ping pong + frisbee games, long soaks in the hot tub, and hikes to the nearby picturesque river trail. Also outdoor lunches with vistas of the mountains and lush tropical foliage. The beds in the charming ranch home are super comfy and we had some excellent game nights and dinners at home, plus great meals out (Roblars, Rory's Place, The Hip Vegan, The Dutchess). Our granddaughter slept well with her parents in the guest house, and our granddog was happy to run around in a safe fenced area. Communication with Lisa was perfect. Can't wait to return...A+++

Harbortown Point is truly so special. The kitchen staff are so kind and make amazing home made bread, treats, and execute the hotel menu perfectly. They really do everything they can to make you feel at home! They made me a birthday treat last year which was just the best and really made things feel special! The homemade baked goods are also to die for! The rooms are gorgeous and they really thought of everything when designing them. I've never once thought "oh I wish they had this or that," because they literally included everything you could possibly need. The pool and hot tub are exquisite. The views are wonderful. Birds of all kinds fill the trees in the courtyard area that the hotel encircles. If you are lucky enough to get a harbor view, you will see sea birds, sea lions, and maybe even dolphins. We are missing this place this year, but can't wait to be back next year. It really is such a gem. I've included pictures of the various views from the different rooms we've stayed in and all the interior/ property photos I could find on a quick dig through my camera roll. We really can't wait to be back!

What a lovely property and fantastic location!…read more We were able to exchange through our DVC membership and I was SO EXCITED to see this location had availability during the annual Ventura Harbor Parade of Lights & Fireworks(separate review) weekend. We spotted this location last year when we were walking around the Ventura Harbor area for exercise, but discovered it is an owner-based/timeshare property. Previous Yelp reviews expressing disappointment that they could not change rooms when they could tell not all units were occupied may not understand the logistics and booking procedure for a owner-based resort property. That being said, when I booked through our exchange, I was confirmed with room #306, then found a map of the property online to see what type of view we may have. Not lucky enough to get a Harborside View room, but we were VERY happy with our "balcony in the trees". The reason I'm not committing to 5 stars is the tiny bed and the compact fridge. I think the bed is listed as a Queen, but it felt smaller than that. We could've elected to utilize the Queen pullout sofa, but didn't want to hassle with putting it away each day for the use of the sofa during TV viewing. But we made do with the bed, which was quite comfortable. The fridge was about the size of the mini dishwasher, and had a small freezer compartment, but also had warnings posted to not overfill, which we seemed to manage with our gallon of milk, pint of creamer, dozen eggs and cold cuts. So, yeah, a larger fridge would be nice, but I don't know where they could fit one in the unit, so we'll be sure to alter our cold food plan on a future stay. Hands down, Harbortown Point had THE MOST in-room supplies for a comfortable stay! My pictures show all the cookware, utensils, dishes, bakeware - microwave/convection oven with a user manual! There was also plenty of supplies should we need to clean anything or do dishes. Also a nice basket of coffee and tea to get us started in the AM. We were provided with a checklist upon check-in, asking me to make sure the inventory matched what was in the unit. I didn't know homework was going to be assigned, but the "Monica" in me LOVED IT! That showed me the owners here truly do care about upkeep and efficiency! There was actually more items in the unit than listed, so I cheerfully provided additional notes. LOL! Other features we enjoyed: A automated gas fireplace, with push button start was cozy, the curtains around the "bedroom area" of the studio suite were something I had never seen before and LOVED! The HUUUUGE bathroom with seated vanity table, the large balcony with pub height table and chairs, where we could sit at sunset and see the Channel Islands through the trees, the comfortable furnishing, the detailed instructions and binder for the property and surrounding areas, with suggestions of sites and activities, all the work put into the holiday lights! Just beautiful and welcoming. The property itself is well maintained. Evidence of ongoing work is evident throughout. Ken is a friendly maintenance guy, painting and working on upkeep around the grounds, and another A/C & Heating guy was also there during our stay. We really enjoyed our time at this special property, with plenty of included parking and plenty of interesting sights within walking distance. Harbortown Point gave us a relaxing, quiet stay and we very much look forward to returning many more times. Cheers! "CC"
