This place was so good for a weekends get away. It was very dusty inside, under the couch and head boards was layers of dust. And we arrived 30 min early and was told there was a $50 early check in fee which was alittle weird. We did not pay that and waited 30 min which ended up with using late to our event. Everything else was soo nice we will stay there again

What a great stay we had over the weekend! The property was exactly what we were looking for, it's great for our family of 4. The only complaint we had was that the property is a little outdated. The window in the loft did not stay open so it was very warm up there. The shower upstairs was leaking from the shower head, so we just used the downstairs shower and the battery in the smoke alarm in the bedroom kept beeping because it needed to be changed. We loved that they had all of the things we would need for the beach, chairs, toys, etc. and we even borrowed bikes for my husband and daughter to ride! They definitely need to consider heating the pool for the cooler months because it was so cold we couldn't enjoy it, but the hot tub was very nice. For what we paid I was very happy, but I am not sure that it would be worth it during peak tourist season when I am sure the price is much higher!

Room dirty, water bottles under bed, crumbs all over, arrived to wet bedding on bed. They had to replace. Locks on patio door broken, did not feel safe as a solo female traveler. All kitchen items had coating of grease and grime…I used NOTHING but the fridge/freezer..yuck! Holes in furniture covers, cabinets did not close and tenant that rented next to me smoked on their deck, going right into my unit if I had patio open. I blocked the doors at night and slept with one eye open. Comfortable bed…my only positive.

We loved this townhouse by the beach. Its a 1 minute walk to the beach, which was almost empty most of the time. The fireplace was cozy and warm, and gave us a great atmosphere. Our Ukrainian hostess was very kind, helpful and spoke good English. We are thinking of bringing the whole family next trip. We will stay here again. The home, the neighborhood and especially the beach, made for a wonderfully romantic stay for my husband and myself.

I loved my stay at this townhouse. It was VERY clean and decorated so cute. Towels supplied. The queen bed was so comfortable! The kitchen has everything that could be imagined.
Walk right to the beautiful beach. So convenient!
The beach isn’t crowded at all and that makes it even more relaxing.
The townhouse even has a garage and easy parking. I am so glad I stayed here for my 60th birthday. It made it so special, I hope to come back again soon. I loved it!

The resort itself nice perfect for a single or couple getaway that wants to get away from daily life. Nice pool nice jacuzzi. It got 4 stars because furniture very old imagine going to ur grandparent's house and furniture is over 30 years old no cushion left in the couch or chair no softness whatsoever but beds nice oh and internet majorly slow make sure u come fully work free. The area though oxnard shores for a beach town very quiet the beach is trashed literally debris everywhere branches sticks etc make sure to wear shoes walking to the shore and don't go deep dolphins like u can visbly see the fins nit that far feom shore anyway for rest and quiet resort satisfys that but dont come here for the beach LA beaches are 10x much better

Our stay at Mandalay Shores was perfect. We stayed in the two bedroom near the beach. Parking was not a problem in mid March , we parked in front the unit on our six day stay. The pool was behind our unit and the guest who used it were very quiet. Cute and cozy beach spot in Oxnard, would return on next visit.

The office was great communicating with me and accommodating our late arrival and early departure. We were only there briefly for a sleep, but it is described as ocean view, but that is just a glimpse through a small upstairs bedroom window. The place is quite run down and needs an upgrade - cracked tiles, chipped kitchen cabinets and countertops, carpet seemed to be several decades old. Still, it was probably priced for the condition. When I turned on the bedside lamp, I could see dust motes hanging on wall. More attention to detail would help. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Construction next door started about 7 am and was very noisy.

Top 10 Reasons This Place Rocks!

We have now stayed at least 10 times at the Mandalay Shores property; there are many solid reason why we choose this property over hotels and other condos: 1) We do not have pay for parking (often a garage is with the unit); 2) We have no more that 20 feet to our car; 3) We place is always clean and \"move in ready\" steps to the unit (no long property walks down the hallway) 4) The kitchen is ready for cooking (we use it for snacks mostly and eat out) and you never have to ask if there is a fridge and freezer and full size microwave- hotels its a crap shoot; 5) Room for the kids and PRIVACY; 6) Two bathrooms (no hotel has this); 7) Each unit has ITS OWN WIRELESS ROUTER- NO SHARED BANDWIDTH and no asking you to sign to a \"club\" to get HS Internet; 8) The neighborhood is silent all year (even during summer); 9) The staff are attentive and make sure you are taken care of days before you arrive; and 10) When you are tired and dragging a-- from a long weekend, your luggage pack out is about 20 steps to your car! Whew. I cannot say enough good things about our \"home away from home\" but you don't have the BS hotels come with (conventions, long lines, shared walls). We only use it for the weekend, but for a week it would even be better. We look forward to our next trip.

Home away from home

This place was amazing true vacation just bring your clothes and got play in the sand! “It doesn’t get better then this”. Traveling with my husband two children and my mother in law and our Memaw. We was steps away from the beach and this is an enormous beach with plenty sand area a park volleyball and a basketball. The beds are comfortable and squeak free the only thing is that we wished we had more time thank you for making check in and check out so easy!

This is my second time staying here and forgot about the shampoo/soap situation. Bring your own! We had a hard time getting the cable to work and actually just gave up and watched YouTube instead. The office opens up pretty late and the bikes could use some tuning up. It’s nice to have so much space compared to a hotel. This property is in a great location but could really use some extra maintenance and updates to get it up to 5 stars imo.

Average at best. Not inspiring or contemporary. Meh,...heads up there are steps everywhere. Not suitable for little chlldren or seniors or anyone with mobility issues. 13 steep steps to enter. dangerous although well marked step up to kitchen. another 13 steep steps to upstairs bedroom. Not even a little bar of soap in shower and definitely no shampoo or conditioner. Not gracious or generous with any amenity. Only a small pack of decaf coffee. No cooking pans in one of the units. Curtain in bedroom doesn't block out light outside window. close to beach though. gave us an early check in a late checkout which was nice.

Overall it's very good for the price. The building is a bit old but everything else is excellent. We love the large living room, two bath rooms, the kitchen, and the laundry facility, etc. It's fight next to the beach, 5 minute drive to grocery and restaurants. I would recommend it for small families.

Don’t bring your elderly family members

We went in April.. Just us Two.. enjoyed ourselves.. The bathroom shower had a weird opening and the tub is very slick and we fell.. it also has a step up to the kitchen, that does have a tape on it, but we both tripped..
So we go again the last week of May.. They forgot to put some things in the place, but I walked down to get them.. no big deal..They replaced the shower door..we didn’t say anything the first time, but it was much easier to get in.. They took out the soap dispenser in the shower so we had to go buy soap.. Tub is still very slippery and you will fall if not careful..

So now let’s talk about that step.. If you are bring any elderly people..don’t stay here!!! Death trap!! My 85 yr old step and broke his hip.. Say the least we never go there again and I am in Oxnard every 2 months..

The property was very close to the beach, clean, and bright. However it was very cold, and while the heater worked well to warm the place up, there were no comforters or heavy blankets on the beds. I was surprised to find a sheet and a light blanket only, when temps drop to the low forties and there is a damp ocean fog. When I brought that up to the property manger, rather than provide blankets, they suggested I turn up the heat.

The place was dirty when i arrived. There was still trash in the garage. When we took a bath, there were floating particles from the jet tub. The place is just super worn and needed a remodel decades ago. The bedding is old and uncomfortable, slept poorly x 2 nights. Wifi didnt work at first, took a couple of hours to get fixed. The outdoor patio was not enclosed, it was in the middle of construction.
