Wonderful stay booked last minute for a post wedding celebration. The accommodations were perfect, very clean with thoughtful touches through out. The location was simply perfect, an ideal location central to all of Capitola. Everything was walkable within a short block or two to shops restaurants and beach. I would stay here again and definitely recommend to anyone.
