We just spent a wonderful week at the Ventura Boca Raton(the person who wrote the review about the monkeys had the wrong place, there are no monkeys here). We had a two bedroom, two bath condo and had plenty of space. The beach is across the street, but it is a very short walk and the beach is beautiful. We spent many hours walking on the beach. The Ventura has chairs, towels, boogie boards, etc. that you can check out to take to the beach. The pool area is very nice, with plenty of chairs-areas with shade and sun. They had a hotdog cookout on Friday that was great. Kathy and Barbara in the office were very friendly and helpful.

There are many restaurants nearby in Deerfield Beach-you could walk there, but it is easier to drive. We loved J.B.s on the Beach, Flannigans and the Whale's Rib.
Also liked McCormick and Schmick's and Cheesecake Factory near the mall.

huge 1,600 square foot unit. 3 balcony. Large rooms and 3 bathrooms.
Abosolutly spotless unit. Close access to the beach 2 minute walk.
Clean and nic pool. Chairs, dvd, books free for guests. Free computer and internet access in the lobby. Free parking. Close acces to shops, restaurants, 7 eleven.
Friendly staff and guests we had a blast for a week long stay.

I would recommend to anyone looking for nice large cozy place to enjoy the Florida sun !

Tons of activities nearby : fishing, cruise, restaurants. etc...

Family of seven with teens stayed in a 3 bedroom unit. The unit was large and clean. Furniture was sparce and outdated. T.V's were not available in every bedroom, if that is important to you. The staff was helpful and the grounds were kept very clean. You can not see the ocean from the resort, there are larger condominium units across the road blocking the view. There is a beach access right across the street, with a shower. The beach was clean and beautiful. I would recommend this resort to friends.

The views of the ocean in Boca Raton are mostly now obliterated by high rises, but if you'd like somewhere a little more down to earth in scale, then Ventura is a great choice - just two stories high, with nice landscaping and tiled roofs.

If you want a place with lots of activities, be warned Ventura has none, except the pool. But if you want a clean, comfortable, tasteful, quiet place, it is hard to beat.

All the units are 2 levels, and they're very very spacious. With 3 BR and a sleeper sofa, eight guests can stay in comfort. The units are kept immaculately clean, as are the grounds, which has a small but nice pool, gas BBQ grills. The staff don't get in your face, and are pleasant when you do deal with them.

Beach access is directly across the street. There is also a small state park across street about 1/2 mile down the road, and there are restaurants, bars, pizza, etc. about a mile down the road - close enough for convenience but far enough to keep the traffic and noise at a distance.

This is a great location for running, biking or just walking. Besides for the main road (Ocean Blvd) which has both a bike path and an asphalt walkway for pedestrians/runners, right behind Ventura there are several long, quiet residential streets (Banyan, Cocoanut, Spanish River Drive) that are perfect for walkers or joggers. You can ogle some of the really beautiful homes there, while you're at it!

Overall, Ventura is a fine choice. I wouldn't hesitate to return.
