We all loved this house for the location, the off street parking, the easy access, the comfy beds and the coziness. We are all in our 70s and a simple short walk to the beach and a couple of our favorite restaurants (Paradise Beach Grille and Margaritaville) was great. We'll definitely recommend it to friends and family, and consider it again in the future.
This cute house had everything we needed during our stay and was an easy walk to everywhere we wanted to go. It did get a bit cold at night as the thermostat kept turning the temperature down. FYI- Both master toilets need adjusting. The handle stays down when flushed and the toilets run until manually stopped.

Hi! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay! We will get the thermostat and toilet handles adjusted ASAP!
The house is charming and has a lot of character! Little issue with towels and bedding. I believe the towels and bedding were washed with a rubber bathmat which left little pieces of dried bathmat on the towels and bedding. I had to rewash the towels and pillow cases before we used them. Other than that we enjoyed the house very much.
Great location with 3 parking spaces! This was perfect for my immediate family for Thanksgiving! Walking distance to the river, ocean and great local restaurants. The property was clean and check in was easy. The only downside was the lack of door on the master bathroom. Sort of odd to lack the privacy. Also the second bathroom is in a bedroom also so at night the person in the third bedroom has to walk through one of the others to use the bathroom. It worked for my immediate family but might be akward for non related adults. Overall we loved the property and the property managers were very responsive!
This house was adorable and was a perfect spot for our family to rent. There were lots of kitchen items for us to use and we enjoyed having our meals in the backyard. The privacy was perfect and it was just a short 3 minute walk to the beach. My biggest complaints were; 1) the amount of cobwebs at each window (no screens), 2) the two rolling blinds on the living room door and kitchen nook did not work. To raise the blind, you would have to manually guide them and lastly 3) the number of bath towels for 4 days - 6 adults became a bit of an issue. All very small things in the grand scheme of things but what prevented me from rating this with 4 stars!!
overall the house is very nice and clean. It has a wonderful kitchen and living room. However downstair bedrooms very small and beds small. No closets in the bedrooms. Rental Manager Co that may this house not helpful over the phone . I had asked a few questions and she was rude and clearly just wanted to take my credit card intake take my money) , not answer questions and get me off the phone in a hurry
Our family of 5 had an incredible stay at this lovely property in Capitola! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the immaculate cleanliness of the home. It was clear that great care is taken to maintain the property to the highest standards.
The communication with the property representative was seamless. They were responsive, helpful, and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Any questions we had were answered promptly, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable.
The location is absolutely perfect! Just a short walk to the beach, local shops, and fantastic dining options. We loved being able to explore Capitola on foot and soak in the vibrant, coastal atmosphere.
A small tip for future guests: consider bringing your own beach towels. While the property provided all the essentials, having our own beach towels was a nice convenience for our beach days.
We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, well-managed, and ideally located vacation home in Capitola. We can't wait to return next summer!
Great location! House has everything you’d need and we were all very comfortable with lots of room. Appreciated the beach gear as we were flying down and didn’t have those necessities. Would definitely stay here again!
Booked this lovely little beach home for my mom’s birthday weekend. It comfortably fit all six of us and was within walking distance of some of the best drinks and food I’ve had. The home itself was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed! Definitely going to stay here again in the future.
The house was great. All furnishings were well taken care of and clean. The bathroom access is a little odd. You can only access the main floor bathroom through a bedroom and the master bathroom is not very private. The location is right near the heart of Capitola. This comes with great access, but also noise in the night as people come home from restaurants and bars. Overall, good place to stay.
