Lovely retreat by the beach

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 The only thing I would change is the primary bedrooms bed as it is pretty outdated and if you are a light sleeper it can be a bit challenging.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.

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.

Great location, great space

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!!

Perfect spot!

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

Great location. Nice little house

Location is fantastic. House is nice. Updated kitchen and bathrooms, nice deck. Only drawback for me was the parking situation did not fit my full size truck so I had to find another location to park. A little inconvenient this trip but was able to navigate it. I imagine it could be a bigger problem in the height of tourist season because street parking is restricted.
