The location was perfect. Even though it was near the center of town, it was quiet. There is plenty of space, particularly in the kitchen. It was a comfortable and pleasant unit, within walking distance of all shops and restaurants as well as the beach. It was a bit confusing regarding the entry, but we called the host and she cleared it up.
This property was perfect for our stay, within walking distance to everything we needed. I have stayed here before and I will stay again in the future.
Excellent stay! Very happy with the property, its condition and location. Great communication with property management — I appreciated how they reached out during my stay to make sure everything was good (which it was). My family would happily stay here again.

My family has always loved coming to Capitola, and our stay at the Sea Breeze Retreat made our latest trip a wonderful experience being so close to the wharf and the shops and restaurants. The apartment was great, with everything we needed.
Great location and unit in Capitola. I would definitely stay again. Walking distance to beach and restaurants. The only thing I would change is the primary bedrooms bed as it is pretty outdated and if you are a light sleeper it can be a bit challenging. Other then that this unit has everything you need and you can't beat its proximity to all you need to access in Santa Cruz.
We had a wonderful time at this vacation property. It was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The communication with the property managers was excellent and prompt. Can't recommend enough
We loved the location of this cute little place. The communication with Hallie (property management company) was amazing! We would definitely stay there again!
Great house, great location! Just park and walk everywhere, you don't want to be driving anywhere in Capitola there is zero parking. We love this area and come as often as possible.
The location half a block from the main road through the village was superb. The layout was great. The kitchen is beautiful. The deck is amazing. Everything you need for a nice stay is here.
Everything was well stocked. We purchased a few things that enhanced our stay
I noted with the property manager that the carpet really needs a deep dive cleaning. We would definitely stay again.
Myself, my son, my father and brother did a quick getaway from the East Bay. The location is excellent. Once you park the car, you never use it again to get to restaurants or the beach. The place itself is very clean, has just what you need to relax for a couple days just a few blocks from the ocean.

It was clean, spacious and exactly as advertised, which seemed almost too good to be true! We had a wonderful time there. It was very close to the beach, but tucked in a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of the quaint but vibrant downtown.
As advertised, the parking space was tight, but a medium size SUV could fit in nicely, and any parking in Capitola is a big bonus!!
Ideal location to be a tourist and a local. The house is super clean and sparely decorated to slide right in and make it your own.
The deck is blasting with sun all day, if it is out.
Parking in the village is pretty amazing to have…or share with local visitors. We really enjoyed ourselves!!! Thank you
