40 ft Catamaran Boatel w view in Ventura Harbor, Sleeps 6

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (6)
"Communication with the owners was seamless, both before and during our stay.The boat was exceptionally clean. The beds very comfortable, with great linens. The bathrooms were quite functional, once we got the hang of it. We used the shower several times. The kitchen was well set up. The decks were clean, the seating was ample and well thought out. The bean bag chairs and fold out deck chairs were a BIG hit. We really enjoyed being able to open up everything during the day and close it up...

Cute houseboat, amazing location!!! Extremely walkable to restaurants and shops

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2)
"I spent a month on the houseboat called “Salty Dog”. I had my 20 lb puppy, Tilly with me and a friend who is a professional pet sitter came and joined us a few times. Two things really impressed me. 1., the boat was superbly equipped as if ready for a long range voyage and 2. The neighbors were all Salties - creative, fun, and helpful. Proximity to everything from a grocery store , laundry and to a pub and a bunch of great local restaurants all within walking distance was great. Parking was easy...

7.0 out of 10, Good, (2)
"We stayed on this boat in early March and it was 43-45 degrees at night. There were recurrent power issues with the boat and we were not able to use the space heater or hot water most of the time. If I didn’t have the foresight to bring our winter camping gear, my son and I would have been freezing all night. We didn’t pay for an unheated camp site and the heating situation didn’t meet our expectations compared to the overall cost. The hosts need to make sure there is consistent heating and hot...
