Location location location, it doesn't get any better than this. We were worried about the bed ( being a Murphy bed ),but it was very comfortable and the pillows were perfect. The parking ended up being great, but we could see how that could end up being a problem if it was fully booked.the elevator was great, just wished we would have known about it before we unloaded the car. Overall we were very happy
Easy on site parking, fantastic location fantastic ocean views from the room. 50 steps to the beach, beach chairs umbrella towels etc provided. Great location for either a relaxed holiday or a busy one enjoying the local restaurants/ bars. Property is clean and well maintained. Could not ask for more. Quieter beaches only a 10 minute drive if wanted. Location has it all
Excellent location by the beach - it was nice to listen to the surf at night. Walking distance to several nice restaurants and bars. I was a little concerned about the parking when we booked the property, but it turns out that I shouldn't have been as we had no problems during out stay. Great place for a weekend beach getaway!

Had a last minute Family matter to attend and this location worked perfectly for our situation plus it’s been awhile since we have been to the coast. It was relaxing hearing the ocean waves watching the surfers show up at 4 in the morning, lol clean & comfortable cottage. Hope to rebook someday soon.
we had an excellent time it was my wife's birthday nice to be up high overlooking the area we went to shadow brook for dinner and had the Taxi pick us up we walked to restaurants wine tasting and just shopped all with in walking distance from our room. we even went though a rain storm there and had fun watching the wind an rain from our window with a little wine we will do it again room was clean host responded quikly to our questions
Everything was great. Views were spectacular, location was perfect.unit was cozy and clean. Only thing to keep in mind for Friday and Saturday nights is there are some local venues with live music up until midnight.
The views were exceptional of the village, the beach and the surfers. We enjoyed our stay - shopping in the stores, eating out, walking in the beach and sitting on the porch sipping coffee. A perfect getaway.
Clean and cute with great views. Also the unit kitchen is very well equipped for a rental. Plenty of pots and pans, micro wave, coffee maker, fast water heater-kettle, toaster oven, etc. Even had a knife sharpener!
Really excellent location. The space is today and clean. There's a few things to do in the immediate area and the views at sunrise and sunset are spectacular. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway.
Everything was great, except the elevator didn’t work and I have a bad knee, and I couldn’t lock the door after I left the apartment, but the location was fantastic and the apartment was great

Great views, clean, bright and cheerful decor, walking distance to restaurants, stores and beach right across the street. Love Capitola Village!
We loved our stay in Capitola! Great place for husband's birthday. Loved strolling the beach and village. Our unit had a great view and compact kitchen with everything we needed. We highly recommend for a romantic getaway.
We had a wonderful stay at the property. It is a perfect location to visit Capitola. We spent the evenings just sitting on the two patios and watching the city go by as the sun set in the background. I would highly recommend the property to anyone. We have stayed at many places in Capitola and this was by far our favorite. You could not be more in the heart of everything than here.
