A West Malibu home for time together

Dogs are welcome at Chic Beach Vacations. Our West Malibu homes in the Deer Creek area offer a different setting from our Ventura and Oxnard beach neighborhoods, so ask us about the actual home, its outdoor spaces, and your planned walks.

If you need an enclosed outdoor area, particular access arrangements, or space for more than one dog, discuss that with our team before booking. We can check the specific property rather than asking you to rely on a general description.

Consider a Ventura County beach neighborhood too

Ventura and Oxnard offer another kind of coastal stay farther north. All our homes in those two cities are walkable to the beach, making it easy to fit a walk into the morning and another outing into the afternoon.

Our dog-friendly Ventura County guide brings together beach and café ideas. Lisa particularly enjoys Ventura Harbor’s waterfront plaza and casual food stops for an unhurried afternoon with a dog beside the table.

For a Ventura stay, consider Pierpont. For an Oxnard stay, compare Hollywood Beach and Silver Strand. Choose the neighborhood around the days you want to have together.

Bring the dog into the holiday plans from the beginning

Tell our local team who is coming, including your dog, and what you enjoy doing. We can help you compare the settings and choose a home for your trip.
