Mid-century Modest Cottage at Pierpont Beach

Regarding Covad-19. We always take extra care with the cleaning of Coral Cottage. I make my own cleaner to avoid all the nasty chemical cleaners. I mix vinegar (many do not know that vinegar is an antibacterial) water, Mrs. Myers cleaning solution, and now I am adding propyl alcohol to amp up the effect. There is hand sanitizer, alcohol and gloves for your convenience, but the best is washing your hands for 30 seconds. Please wash you hands when you return home, and follow all suggested precautions from the CDC. Please do not put any hand wipes in the toilets. My maid always wipes all handles, door knobs and cabinets, anything touched by hands, and I am wiping them a second time.

The kitchen is the central area of the Cottage with a counter looking into the living room. With two skylights, natural light floods the house all day. Wherever possible, I have tried to make it sustainable. We removed all the old carpet, laminate flooring and linoleum (from the 50's) tile. The use of low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints was very important to me, as I did not want there to be any out-gassing. The exterior was light blue with turquoise trim. We repainted it a light gray and turquoise, and added a touch of Coral around the windows. I found a cool door that looks like it is from the 50's. The original concrete floors were repaired and shined. I had the kitchen cabinets refaced instead of replacing them. We also reconditioned the original wood windows. Wherever possible, I have used cotton and natural fibers. The lawn was removed with the "sheet mulching" process, and replaced with mushroom compost. It takes longer to remove, but there were no chemicals used. Sometimes I use vinegar on pesky weeds. Currently, the garden is a work in process, and soon it will flourish as the mushroom compost is super enriched. There are succulents (from my BFF's daughter's wedding), and other drought tolerant plants. The toilets and shower heads are low-flow. My cleaning service is allergic to chlorine, so I am thrilled to say that she is familiar with the cleaning and sterilizing qualities of vinegar and baking soda. We also use Mrs. Myers products. One bedroom features a comfy queen bed with all the pillows and blankets you will need, and French doors that lead out to the backyard. The master bedroom has a queen bed with a bathroom with a shower, and a garden window with my shell collection. The gardens are a work in progress. In the living room you will find local brochures on what to do in Ventura and surrounding areas. I EVEN CREATED A CHARGING STATION FOR DROIDS AND MACS. There are a lot of amazing surf spots nearby including Ventura Point, Pitas Point and Rincon. There is a gas grill, a wood fire pit (the back neighbors have complained about the smoike, please do not use), a big screen SmartTV, blow dryers, an air conditioner in the main bedroom and the living room and lovely patio table and chairs in the backyard. There is also an Airbed for extra people, plus 2 twin beds. (There is an extra charge for more than 3 people). The kitchen has a full size gas stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker, French press (you might find some coffee in the frig), a small Crock Pot, and plenty of cooking supplies. There is a full length mirror on the bedroom doors. The Pier is about 1.5 miles north; To the south is Marina Park and Beach which is a great kids beach. There is plenty of parking, picnic areas, and a small tot sized ship for exploring. The bike path and state beach are about 4 blocks north. The Seaward business district has plenty of restaurants and only 5 blocks(beach blocks are short) to the south. (See the guide book in the guide). Ventura is a not only a city, but a county with numerous cities and communities with their own personalities. There is great hiking in the hills. Coral Cottage is a block to the beach. Ventura County Fairgrounds are about 2.5 miles away, Downtown has lots of restaurants and fun shops. We also have a live music scene and an artist community. Lastly, please enjoy your stay. Thank you for choosing Coral Cottage.

Perfect Beach Getaway!
Donna’s place is perfect! I highly recommend her beach bungalow if you’re looking for a place to stay in Ventura. We stayed for 9 days with our dog. The place was only a few blocks to the beach, we enjoyed sunrise and sunset walks everyday with our pup. Donna’s house is stocked with everything you might need for your stay. The house is clean and spacious. The front and back yard and completely fenced in, it was perfect for our dog to hangout and relax. We visited nearby Rincon Beach, Carpenteria, and Santa Barbara. Donna’s place is the perfect distance to all of these locations. Downtown Ventura is only a few mins away, amazing shopping and restaurants. Donna was very communicative the entire time and answered all of our questions whenever we needed it. We are looking forward to staying here again next summer!

Host has thought of EVERYTHING you will need!
100% cotton sheets - yes! One block to the beach - yes! All kinds of items you would need to take to the beach - yes! Beach chairs, beach toys, cooler, wagon, boogie boards, buckets, umbrella, and MORE ! The host has stocked just about everything you can think of and then some. Quiet area, but close to the Marina Park and the Ventura Pier. Easy to get to, right off the of 101 Freeway. Lots of shopping, gas stations, and restaurants nearby. This was our first experience with vacation rentals and we are already planning another trip! Even our dog enjoyed this trip, host is dog friendly. This cottage can easily sleep 6, possibly more. Everything was tidy. This cozy, mid-century cottage made our stay amazing! Backyard completely fenced in for pet and child safety. Host aims to please. Highly recommend!

A fabulous place to stay
Donna has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. I even wanted to do a tad of mending and she had sewing things there. It seems like she thought of everything. It’s a lovely neighborhood about four minutes walk to the beach and close to restaurants in the very pretty town of Ventura, we plan to stay there again if we go to Ventura

Wonderful week!
Great location, beach 5 minute walk, close to stores and delicious food; lovely yard, safe for our pets. Very well-stocked: DVDs, books, beach supplies, BBQ, kitchen stuff, towels, linens, etc. Space well-used--plenty of room for 4 adults. Queen beds very comfortable. Busyish area, but people are polite, and it's quiet at night. We felt safe and were able to relax and enjoy our week.

Stayed with my adult children, husband, and dog. We had plenty of room for all of us. Cottage has everything you need and more. Tons of DVDs and board games. We played Jeopardy two nights in a row. We flew a kite on the beach. Watched tons of sunsets and walked every morning on the beach looking at shells. Great location close to everything.
