Published awrd-winning popular novelist would like to find a studio-sized apartment, guest house, pool-house, or similar, etc. in the Ojai, Ventura area. Willing to go for long lease. Scenic would be a plus, near beach, ditto. Could be part of a larger property. One quiet occupant, no smoke, no drink. Furnished OK, or not.

You might try searching on Trulia.com and Zillow.com at the "Rent" link. Add Oxnard to your geographic area.

Thank you, Jean...will do.

Stu: doesn't VRBO have a feature to match possible renters with owners? If so, give that a whirl too.

tower

Hola tower...As I ease into semi-retirement, we have been contemplating about places to move. Did you end up moving to Ojai, and if you did, how do you like it? We would like to downsize, so hoping the affordability factor in your area is better than around here, where I could not afford to buy my own house now. Thanks for any info on Ojai and its surroundings you might be able to pass along. Cheers and hope all is well!

Oops I was posting those for the OP. Didn't realize he had posted his request over a year ago.

Mai Tai...here's some stuff on Ojai...even Boca Raton recognizes our little town

Been here for a year and love it. All my family surround me here (6 grandchildren, all adults).

Ojai is loaded with avocado groves and horse ranches. A very small, very pleasant place (pop.8000). Only half hour from the beaches in Ventura and Carpinteria). Cost-wise, I imagine you can beat property prices in the Inland Empire, where you now live. If you really downsize, there will be some "bargains" in housing here.

Good luck. (I'll try to dig up some more "stuff")..best thing would be to spend a weekend in Ojai and scout around. No language barriers! This ain't Europe!

I have a condo in a small complex of 25 units, pool, carport etc..

Thanks tower! We're all over the board where and if we should make the change. Ojai is now on the table.
