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"

We got the call and came back about an hour or so later. Check in took forever and when asked where is our room/building the lady in front just pointed. No map, no directions just a finger point. We got lucky and got a view of the harbor on the 3rd floor so that was amazing. It was nice to sit on the balcony and relax. Parking is $12/day and not secured. The arm gates are up 24/7 so paying for parking seems unreasonable. The room was nice but the bed was not great. I did enjoy the light up mirror and coffee, mini fridge and microwave.

On the positive side, I must commend the pleasant aroma within the room upon arrival, and the fresh…read morelinens provided a comforting start to our stay. Additionally, the check-in process was notably efficient and friendly, setting a welcoming tone. However, several areas presented challenges during our visit. Firstly, the persistent noise emanating from the downstairs bar was a considerable disturbance, making it difficult to achieve restful sleep throughout the night. Our room offered a partial view of the beach from inside, there's a balcony with chairs to hang out at. We discovered that multiple electrical outlets, particularly those conveniently located at the center and bedside tables, were non-operational, which proved to be a significant inconvenience for charging devices. The air conditioning unit's vent was positioned too close to one of the beds, creating an uneven distribution of cool air and preventing proper circulation across the entire room. It also became apparent that the room's layout, despite being a 2-Queen bed configuration designed for up to four people, felt cramped and better suited for a single King-sized bed, as evidenced by the lack of adequate space and amenities such as only one luggage stand. The bathroom also presented its own set of issues. The bathtub drained remarkably slowly, which was both unhygienic and inconvenient. We also noted the absence of sufficient amenities, with only one hook available for towels or garments, and a semi-transparent door that offered inadequate privacy. Finally, there are the additional costs associated with what we typically consider standard hotel services. The requirement for paid parking, whether the $10/day self-parking option in a dimly-lit adjacent public building or the $18/day valet service, added expenses to our budget. Similarly, the lack of complimentary water bottles and the paid breakfast option, while not uncommon, detracted from the perceived value of the stay.

One evening we had dinner on the patio and the setting could not have been any better: the string lights, the cool stone table that could seat our large party and the amazing tall trees. It felt like we were at a tropical island. Many of us traveled from out of state and the hours it took to get to Rolling Thunder Ranch was well worth it!
