Mandalay Bay is a quiet, waterfront community in Oxnard, tucked just inland from Mandalay State Beach and minutes from Channel Islands Harbor. Developed from the late 1970s through the 1990s, the neighborhood consists of roughly 700 single-family homes built around 7 miles of navigable waterways, many with private boat docks ranging from 35 to 150 feet.
Homes here range widely in size, from around 1,300 to 5,000 sq/ft, offering everything from cozy waterfront cottages to expansive estates. It′s often described as one of Ventura County′s best-kept secrets: a genuinely coastal lifestyle without the density and hustle of more well-known Southern California beach towns.
Residents enjoy easy access to Channel Islands Harbor′s marinas, restaurants, and recreational amenities, along with nearby shopping and everyday conveniences in Oxnard and Ventura, all close enough to be practical without feeling intrusive on the neighborhood′s peaceful, residential character.
Positioned near the tranquil end of Gateshead Bay, this stunning 2-bed, 2-bath waterfront home offers an enviable front-row seat to the side channel, with beautiful views reaching out to the main channel beyond, all from a quiet and private setting with minimal through-traffic and noise. Inside, no detail was overlooked. A remodeled kitchen with high-end appliances anchors the open-concept living space, complemented by updated baths and luxury flooring throughout. The traditional aesthetic gives the home a timeless, move-in-ready appeal that′s rare at this price point. Outside, a private patio faces the water, a 40-foot boat dock easement with shared dock access invites your vessel home, and a private garage keeps everything secure. All of this just one hour north of Los Angeles and 45 minutes south of Santa Barbara, moments from the Harbor′s world-class dining, marinas, and coastal recreation. With a voluntary HOA of only $50 per year, you get the benefits of a tight-knit waterfront community with virtually none of the overhead.
