Channel Island Shores

Our family booked a 2 bedroom condo for a few days while we explored the area and Channel Islands National Park. While the fixtures and building itself was a little dated, it was priced just right. Everything was very clean and well maintained. It meant so much to have the full size kitchen to prepare a few meals since everyone was tired of eating out. It had all the comforts of home! The office staff were very available and accommodating. The maintenance man was friendly and helpful. Even the housekeeping crew was friendly, making sure we were having a nice time. We slept the best here of all of our stays during our 2 week vacation. We would definitely consider booking here again!

I was initially hesitant about booking this place, as the reviews and pictures didn’t quite capture what I was expecting. However, I decided to give it a try, and I’m glad I did. I reserved a two-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment that comfortably accommodated three of us, and it could easily host a family of six thanks to its spacious layout and a convenient pullout couch downstairs. The amenities exceeded my expectations—shower pressure was excellent, making quick and refreshing showers easy especially if you’re a big group. The condo includes utilities for four people, with plenty of towels provided (Thanks Tina). While there’s no air conditioning, the ocean breeze just a block away kept the unit comfortably cool throughout our stay. A nice bonus was having a hot tub in each unit, perfect for relaxing evenings. Parking was also straightforward, with one dedicated spot included. A heads-up for warmer months: if you’re sensitive to heat, keep in mind that summer temperatures can get quite hot, and the unit might feel warm without A/C. Additionally, because of the communal setup, it can get quite loud—sounds from neighboring units are audible—so don’t forget your earplugs if you value quiet. Off-season, this spot is ideal for friends’ getaways or a quick romantic escape. Overall, a charming and practical choice that offers great value and a fantastic location near the ocean.

Always a great stay
