I love the area and the resort was just the best place for me to stay. Close to the beach and everything else I could want. The staff was very helpful and friendly, place very clean and well kept. Will definitely stay here again, looking forward to it.

We traveled from Oceanside to Oxnard on Amtrak to join the rest of our family for a mini-getaway. I was pleasantly surprised! I felt like I was transported to the eastern seaboard. The sand dunes and tall grass was something I’d never seen along the west coast. The beach was the largest and most vast beach I've seen in a... More

We stayed at this property in March and had an amazing time. The resort itself is small, but the rooms are spacious and have everything you could need. The beach is amazing and right outside the gate- the kids loved the playground on the beach and the huge park down the street. They also had a great time climbing the... More

This resort has such beautiful views, so close to a quiet, peaceful beach and just minutes from the harbor. I got to enjoy the jacuzzi tub on the balcony of my room while sipping wine and listening to the waves crash under the stars. Doesn't get much better than that. Aside from that, the rooms are spacious, had a washer/dryer... More

My husband, daughter and I spent a delightful weekend recently at your resort. I have relatives in Santa Barbara and Goleta and have driven from San Diego north to visit them many times. Besides a quick exit on Rose for Costco, I had never spent any time in Oxnard. From the minute we pulled up to the Channel Island Shores,... More

Very close to a lightly used beach that has beautiful views and surfing waves, with lots of sand and a childrens play area. This is a timeshare complex, so all units are condos, but well appointed and comfortable with lots of free parking, even covered if preferred. We love it!

This was an RCI timeshare exchange for us and, to be honest, we were a little reluctant to try Oxnard. What could it possibly have to offer? As it turns out, plenty! This is a small complex, the inventory shows 25 total units in 5 buildings and it is located steps from the beach. This part of Oxnard is on... More
