This one feels like…read morehome and has that nostalgic feeling since I've moved here as this was always the place I'd escape to for some good eats and seaside vibes. There is so much to love about the Ventura harbor. They host great events here and there is always something going on. I love when they hire live music on the weekends so that when you're walking around you can enjoy the tunes. A great selection of restaurants here and some nice variety. I love that the harbor has Mexican cuisine, seafood, brunch spots and Greek food. Also some newer spots with arcades and beer have popped up which is great for pulling in a larger crowd/audience. This harbor has always seemed relatively safe to me. I don't see much of security or law enforcement presence but I appreciate that as it just is on the safer side. Like anywhere be aware of your surroundings but I'm happy it's always a safe and family oriented spot. Plenty of parking, easy to get to from the freeway. It's a perfect tourist destination but also locals love it here as well. Cute shops, especially their clothing and pottery store. There is a lot to see at the Ventura harbor but it's also quaint and cutesy. Not too big and you can see everything in about an hour or two depending on your pace (and spending) lol. Happy that the Ventura harbor continues to thrive, really a great spot.

There are a good selection of shops to browse or shop at. Are you hungry? They've got that covered at Ventura Harbor as well. We purchased some delicious ice cream at Coastal Cone. Need some exercise? All of us enjoyed walking around the harbor. Wifey and her friend got some extra exercise by pedaling the duck boat that we rented. I thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at the back of the pedal boat enjoying the sights! Hahaha!! Seriously, though, the Ventura Harbor is a terrific place to spend a couple hours or an entire day at. Enjoy!

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

While I was grateful for the opportunity to rent this facility I have to admit I didn't think…read morethings through(my fault). If you are thinking about renting this facility for a extended party, my rental was 4-11pm, there's a few things you should know... 1. It's an amazing room. Truly. 70 people fit nicely with enough room for a DJ. The park is available for your super young guests and that provides bonus points Definitely... BUT..... 2. You won't need to work out at the gym the day of your party because you'll be required to move gymnastic equipment before and after your party. The bright side? You'll work some muscles!! :) The downside? You'll pay an extra 40 mins to move the stuff which means 1 hour added to your rental price. Sadly while your moving the equipment, you'll realize you paid THEM to move THEIR equipment. Gee whiz. On Top of that you will be sweeping and cleaning the faculty as well, because it might be dirty. With that said, there's a chance you'll be sweaty at the start of your party... Decorating still needs to be done after all! Also when you're super sore the next day...you'll know why. ;) 2. While your moving all the equipment and cleaning, before and after your party, you'll realize what an AMAZING boss you are!! Why you ask? Because you paid a Barranca Vista worker(mandatory) $ 15.00 an hour to NOT help you sweep the room, to NOT help dump trashes at the end of your party. Are they there to help you move the equipment? NAH...they're there just to make sure you move it properly and put it back exactly as you found it, THAT'S it. If you need anything you'll find them sitting in the office surfing the net. Not a bad gig right? You'll also realize you're the best boss ever because you'll also provide dinner for your new employee!! While I would have offered, I didn't need to because she joined the family line for tacos. Again..amazing Boss! :) All of this amazing fun for $700 dollars PLUS a 250.00 dollar deposit. Not bad right? Disclaimer: I'm a non-resident, so residents pay less. Congrats to you. As I said in the beginning, I didn't think things through when I was told about the equipment. I own that. I just feel compelled to help prospective party renters go in with eyes wide open, give personal experience to help them make a well informed decision on whether it's worth the money. Of course everyone's experience is different. Our party was a blast and we'll be back for sure, but it will be a free park party for us. :)

Ventura is changing though, prices at "Antique" stores are outrageous now. Better to go to the Thrift stores, you can find a few of the same items for lots less. On one trip we were looking for a covered candy dish. Antique store wanted $30 - Thrift store - $1 Woohoo! It seems like they are pushing out alot of the more eclectic places and putting in chains like Jersey Mikes and foo-foo chi-chi clothing boutiques. Let's hope the book stores never go.
