I have been a…read moreliveaboard customer since 2012. - Staff are generally responsive and polite. - Cleaning staff are most friendly and do a super job. Only wish some tenants here would be more respectful in their use of the bathrooms. Sorry, Mommy isn't around to clean up after your mess. - Maintenance workers have had some turnover in 2022 but do a good job. Seems to be less maintenance post 2022. - Generally good looking boats, but some boats are ignored and here to die. Most boats never leave the Marina and by the looks of things, many of those couldn't do so under their own power. - Facilities are nice but getting dated. Building maintenance has suffered since 2020 and while nice(r) than average, could be better. Peeling paint and nasty odors in the main building bathrooms. - Gym room was redone in 2023 and is a first class result. Great job Staff! - We used to have mailbox service until 2020. - Significant multi-year rental increases. - Quiet and peaceful place. Proposed Ventura West Marina Phase I plans here. Things are going to change. Tenants should start attending the Port District meetings and become informed citizens. https://venturaharbor.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/6.21.23-PC-PPP.pdf

This is a great place to take a walk along the water. You can only cross over the water using the…read morepedestrian bridge. You can walk south down the pathway and follow it back up towards the Channel Islands Harbor but you can't cross over. You would have to back track from which you came. It's a good 45-60 minute walk if you start over by the Coffee Bean and head down to the Harbor Island Lane then up along the private property on the water and then back. There are lots of restaurants and business along the marina that has great views and lots of benches along the walking path. There are public park restrooms near the playground. I have come here on my breaks to take in some fresh air and beautiful marina views. I highly recommend walking the pathway.

Those are the places I most frequent but they also have Raven Tavern, Gyromania, Golden Egg, Chipotle and Jersey Mike's so many more. There's a Vons, Blender's In the Grass and 2 gyms ( 24 hour Fitness and Edge). I'm excited for the new Italian food coming soon. It's a nice place to hang out and the views are beautiful. There are boats and gondola rentals. I am at Seabridge at least three times a week. My boyfriend lives nearby by too. I remember when it was first being built. Love what it has become. It's such a great place for walkers and you'll see many people with their doggies. This place also brings me happiness as this is where I met my boyfriend. Love love romantic walks here! Note - parking can be limited getting closer to the restaurants but they offer free Valet parking . I mean you still should tip but it's free :)

Talk about the worst surveyor to ever grace this earth. This guy is under the impression that solar…read morepanels are an "essential item" when sailing... Not to mention he doesn't know the different between where the propane storage compartment is located vs where the propane locker is... He didn't see the the two signaling devices in the port locker in the cockpit because he decided to not turn his flashlight on... the list goes on... All I'm saying is it's pretty bad when the buyer's broker is saying "this is the worst survey I've seen in my 30 years of working in this industry." To be completely honest, you would be better off paying someone to drive down from San Diego than to waste your time with someone so uneducated in the field they specialize in. Props to him for completely ruining a sale for my parents, because of his lack of knowledge. Rant over.

He surveyed our sailboat and was very inaccurate in the survey. He missed key items such as saying…read morethe solar which was not hooked up was essential which it is not. He also said the propane in the port lazaret was not properly vented but that was our spare propane bottle. The propane hooked up on the starboard side is properly vented. He also didn't see the horn in the companionway and dinged us on that. Overall I think would advise waiting for an honest capable surveyor instead of using Andy. He's pathetic.
