The home was nice. It was 2 separate units so it was great for us since we had two adult groups and the dogs had a great time.

I would just suggest that you list the lack of parking in the listing prior to booking. Feels a bit misleading. But amazing location. Great property! Jody was amazing! We had a wonderful trip!

This was such a cute property! The location was stellar, close to all the shops and the beach. Since it’s tucked away in a side street, it’s also super quiet. The only downside is parking in front of the location is a fight or a wait and watch for people to leave (but that is all of Capitola Village). The large public parking lot is about a 3 minute walk or so. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at our Capitola Beach Haven. We celebrated Mother's Day and our twin daughter's 31st birthdays and it couldn't have been more perfect. Beach Haven is doggie friendly so our son and his Golden were beyond stoked! We loved the open patio in between the two units. Surf City had everything well stocked, the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had a nice dining table, the living room was tidy, inviting, and we loved the beach designs throughout. Jody and Hallie were our main contacts. They were GREAT! Very responsive and helpful in all our communications. Our next visit to Capitola will be another delightful stay at Beach Haven! Thank you, Surf City Team!

Great property in an awesome location.

We used Capitola as our home base and got out every day to hike California State Parks. We would come back in the afternoon and enjoy a restaurant and walk around Capitola beaches.

Our stay was wonderful! Location was great to proximity of capitola village, just steps to all the eatery’s and just a few more to the beach. The house was quite cozy and bonus as it’s really both havels of the courtyard and was not aware until arrival! But a pleasant surprise.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Can't beat the location for the cost. Great communicationthroughout the process and the hosts were very accommodating — we were able to check-in by 1pm! Also, that the place is pet-friendly is pretty atypical and appreciated but, no worries, this doesn't affect cleanliness. The place is spotless and free of pet odor. The layout is a bit strange in that one has to walk through bedrooms on both sides of the property to access bathrooms, but there are ways around this (enter bathrooms through courtyard) and we got used to it. It was a warm weekend in Capitola and the property on lookers right has a tendency to get warm but the porch and courtyard seating provided a cool reprieve. Parking is a game of musical chairs but is fine if you only have one car. All in all, would highly recommend and plan to return.

We had a great time with our daughter and our dogs. The uniqueness of the property(it was two separate units) allowed us to ignore the failure of hot water on one side. It is not a quiet location but it made for an enjoyable trip.
