The house has everything you need. The instructions for everything are very clear. It is a minute walk to the beach and everything works to perfection. Do not hesitate to save the money and book this place a block up from the beach. It is definitely worth it.

The kids loved the top floor with all the entertainment!! We barbecued and ate out on the back deck. While we were eating we watched a tug boat pull in a cargo vessel. Beach is clean and not crowded. We were able to see the cutest sea lions. Neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend this property!! Loved it!!!

Often they break the quite of our end of the beach with their characteristic 'barking'. That, mixed with the sound of the waves, reminds you that you're at the beach. Please visit again.

We were in So Cal to visit friends and family but didn’t want to stay with family. This beach house was perfect!! Not only was it beautiful, but it had all the amenities we could want. We all loved playing air hockey and ping pong, enjoyed sitting on either deck for meals or to relax. We used the bikes to ride around the town, explored the beach and had fun watching the sea lions by the marina. Both mark (owner) and Jessica (on-site manager) we’re very responsive, even letting us know the home was ready early. Would love to come back next time we visit family.

The house was immaculately clean and had every amenity necessary for our stay. Jessica who lives downstairs was very pleasant and on hand to answer any queries. The bikes, boogie boards and beach chairs available were great as were the pool table and other entertainment facilities.

A short walk down the road to the stunning soft sand beach was so wonderful.

We were super excited to find that the house was such a short distance to the gorgeous beach! We had days where we played on the beach and returned home to bbq on the patio. We used the bikes provided to ride to our favorite coffee shop “Honey Cup” and go to the farmer’s market. We spent a day whale watching, another day we rented paddle boards in Channel Islands Harbor and spent another day pedaling swan boats in Ventura Harbor. The kids loved playing pool and ping pong in the evenings and there was plenty of room for everyone to kick back and relax after a long day of play.

The locals are friendly, inviting, and the Beachcomber was a great place to hang out and make new friends. This can easily become our home-away-from-home in the Summer months! We will definitely be back!

An absolutely wonderful home and beautiful location for a family vacation.
5/5 Stayed Jun 2021
Lorinda G.We rented this beach house for our week long family vacation with our three teen boys. Everything from booking, checking in, staying and checking out went seamless. We enjoyed the location as we explored the surrounding areas including LA, Hollywood, Ventura, Channel Islands and Venice Beach/Santa Monica. The game room upstairs was enjoyed by all especially during our family Olympic game night. The back porch with the beautiful grill was great for nights when we wanted a break from eating out and enjoyed each other’s company. The beach was a short walk to enjoy massive waves. All of the amenities exceeded our expectations. Truly a great place to call “home” on our vacation from Michigan.

Host’s response:Hello Lorinda,
Boy, looks like you packed a lot into your week's stay at Silver Strand. It is a handy location to take day trips to sites & attractions nearby. Hope you were able to take advantage of the renowned waves we can enjoy at our end of the beach!? You're from Michigan ... we had a great family vacation at Michigan City some years ago. Right on Lake Michigan. Next, we'd like to visit New Buffalo - also on the Lake.

We enjoyed conking out on the grill and the kitchen is well stocked with anything a foody might need to prepare a scrumptious meal or a family to make home comfort meals. We played a lot of games in the game room and enjoyed the warm ambiance of sitting by the fireplace in the evening.
Highly recommended for families to stay! Thank you Mark & Joyce!

Host’s response:Hello Wrally. Thank you for our 77th out of 78 five star reviews !!! Glad you were able to enjoy one (or both) of our cozy fireplaces on our rare chilly evenings. Silver Strand just never seems to get cold enough to enjoy them much. On the flip side, SilverStrand rarely gets hot enough to do much more than open windows to the prevailing westerly ocean breezes that cools even our 3rd floor entertainment room.

Thank You Tracy for such a nice review. You've listed a few of the reasons many people choose our home over a stay at a hotel while visiting the beach. One that you didn't mention is the cost savings! Just do the math. I think you'll find that it's more economical for almost any size family to stay at our home than pay for hotel rooms. Your Hosts, Mark & Joyce5/5 Excellent

Silver Strand Super
I have nothing bad to say about the owners and the home which was perfect for my family of 7. We spent Thanksgiving there and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a home cooked meal. THe grocery was about 5 minutes away driving. Game room was awesome Pool, air hockey and ping pong. Having 2 decks front and back of the second floor. The beds were comfortable. I loved the big windows. Nice grill as well. They have all the amenities, bikes , beach towels, chairs available, and board games. Very clean. Mark the owner was very helpful, responded to text emails, and accommodating. The beach was nice as well and about a 3 minute walk. Able to see and hear the beach from their front patio. We will definitely come back and I highly recommend. THanks for letting us stay at your home. Great memories were made.

From check in to check out, this property was fantastic. A clean and spacious house with all the comforts of home. The kitchen was stocked with all the utensils you could possibly need, although we ate out at all the fantastic area restaurants a lot!!! A short walk down the road to the stunning soft sand beach was so wonderful. We enjoyed many games of pool, ping pong and air hockey in the game room and spent most our time on the back bbq deck watching naval ships and sunsets. Awesome views from both decks ! Loved having the fireplace to sit by at night to keep us cozy. This home is exactly as pictured, the owner was so kind, and this was a fantastic vacation. We will certainly stay at Silverstrand in the future and recommend it to friends & family Thanks so much Mark !!!

We're so glad you enjoyed our beach house on Silver Strand. Having 2 decks on the 3rd floor does afford us a view out over the roof tops of our neighbors and gives us a slice of the ocean beyond. Yes, very peaceful.

Erika M.There are so many reasons this is a fantastic beach house I can’t possibly list them all. There is definitely a wow factor upon entering. Spacious living areas and bedrooms. Everything needed to cook a good meal. Two balconies, one to watch sunsets and see silver strand beach and another to see the other side of the beach and watch the big cargo ships go in and out. A total family entertainment room on the second floor between the two patios. Thank you so much. We’ll definitely stay here again!
Published Aug 11, 2021
Host’s response:Many Thanks Erika. Out of almost 100 reviews written over the past 12 years, I think you're the first to mention the unique flavor of our two decks on the 3rd floor and what each offers. We spend most of our time on the rear open sunroom deck with the dining and BBQ features, but our front patio/deck can offer views of both the beach and distant mountains. Our favorite spot for sunsets and cocktails.

Johanna P.Because of Covid, we decided to take a vacation close to home this year. The Silver Strand house was a perfect spot! We were super excited to find that the house was such a short distance to the gorgeous beach! We had days where we played on the beach and returned home to bbq on the patio. We used the bikes provided to ride to our favorite coffee shop “Honey Cup” and go to the farmer’s market. We spent a day whale watching, another day we rented paddle boards in Channel Islands Harbor and spent another day pedaling swan boats in Ventura Harbor. The kids loved playing pool and ping pong in the evenings and there was plenty of room for everyone to kick back and relax after a long day of play. The house was fully equipped with more than everything we needed. Everything from check in to check out was seamless. Thank you Mark for a worry-free stay at the beach!

Dominik R.What a lovely stay at Mark's Silverstrand Beach House. An inviting home, stocked with everything you need. Great location for a very relaxing beach visit to Oxnard and neighboring towns. The locals are friendly, inviting, and the Beachcomber was a great place to hang out and make new friends. This can easily become our home-away-from-home in the Summer months! We will definitely be back!

Lorinda G.We rented this beach house for our week long family vacation with our three teen boys. Everything from booking, checking in, staying and checking out went seamless. We enjoyed the location as we explored the surrounding areas including LA, Hollywood, Ventura, Channel Islands and Venice Beach/Santa Monica. The game room upstairs was enjoyed by all especially during our family Olympic game night. The back porch with the beautiful grill was great for nights when we wanted a break from eating out and enjoyed each other’s company. The beach was a short walk to enjoy massive waves. All of the amenities exceeded our expectations. Truly a great place to call “home” on our vacation from Michigan.
Published Jun 19, 2021
Host’s response:Hello Lorinda,
Boy, looks like you packed a lot into your week's stay at Silver Strand. It is a handy location to take day trips to sites & attractions nearby. Hope you were able to take advantage of the renowned waves we can enjoy at our end of the beach!? You're from Michigan ... we had a great family vacation at Michigan City some years ago. Right on Lake Michigan. Next, we'd like to visit New Buffalo - also on the Lake.

Host’s response:Thank You for another 5 Star review Kathy! Although we have a strict 8 guest maximum at all times policy, I'm glad you found our home spacious and roomy. I think you will find our rental prices the most reasonable on the beach for over 2100 sq. ft. of living area - plus 2 decks. We look forward to hosting you again.

Wrally D.SF Bay Area CaliforniaMy wife and daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this quiet, beautiful home near the beach. We enjoyed conking out on the grill and the kitchen is well stocked with anything a foody might need to prepare a scrumptious meal or a family to make home comfort meals. We played a lot of games in the game room and enjoyed the warm ambiance of sitting by the fireplace in the evening.
Highly recommended for families to stay! Thank you Mark & Joyce!
Published Mar 20, 2021
Host’s response:Hello Wrally. Thank you for our 77th out of 78 five star reviews !!! Glad you were able to enjoy one (or both) of our cozy fireplaces on our rare chilly evenings. Silver Strand just never seems to get cold enough to enjoy them much. On the flip side, SilverStrand rarely gets hot enough to do much more than open windows to the prevailing westerly ocean breezes that cools even our 3rd floor entertainment room.
Your Host, Mark.
PS: I also gave you a five star review. Please come back & visit us again.

Gabriella B.Mark@Silverstrand was the perfect beach house for my family vacation for 6 (grandparents, parents, two teenagers). The proximity to the beach, the boogie boards, beach chairs, and bikes provided endless entertainment! And everything about the house--the well equip kitchen, the game room on the 3rd floor, and generally the overall comfort made this vacation house so perfect!

Host’s response:Dear Gabi,
Glad you enjoyed the beach toys/equipment we provide for guests. Some of the items were left for us all to enjoy by previous guests! Sure is nice not to have to drag that stuff from home. What's more, we provide 6 beach towels which saves a lot of space in your suitcases.
Thank You, Your Hosts,
