We have rented Capitola #8 for 30 years. We have an annual family reunion where we rent 4 or 5 places. #8 is always the headquarters because of the location. Our hosts are super easy to work with and the cabin itself exceeds our needs. We will continue to enjoy the cabin and Capitola in Venetian for many years to come.

I absolutely love the Venetian in Capitola! Its a colorful, funky and unique property with lots of character. My only suggestions for improvement would be to provide some closet space or a place to hang clothes. The only closet is in the upstairs bedroom, and it was locked during our stay, so there was nowhere to hang our clothes. A hair driver was also not provided, so bring your own if you'll need one. And if you plan to make coffee, remember to bring Mr. Coffee filters, as those weren't supplied either. These were minor inconveniences for me, but they were more of a downside for my friends. Overall, I absolutely loved the property and its fun, eclectic vibe! I would definitely stay here again, for me it was the perfect beach get-away!

Exactly as listed inside the rental. Could be a touch more descriptive that parking will not likely be close during busy season/times. Overall enjoyed the location and proximity to the village and water!

Convenient location, I have never left a place anything but clean treating our stays even better than home. That being said there was a strong musty smell when we arrived. Would be nice to crack some windows prior to someone staying to avoid that being the first impression. The expectation to bring our own sheets and vacuuming before leaving, (even though place was kept clean) I have very mixed feelings about. All in all place is cute and we love Capitola and had a nice visit.

Hi Cindy, MANY apologies for the delay in responding to your review! But we'd love to hear what improvements we can make to have improved your rating to a 5-star. ;) (If related to guests needing to bring their own linens: of course, we have considered supplying them, it would just mean increasing the nightly rate pretty significantly - and we like to keep it as low as possible for our guests! We've found folks would prefer to keep the cost down and bring their own, but totally respect that this doesn't work best for everyone.) Thanks in advance for any additional feedback you'd be willing to provide. Best, ~carey, on behalf of Capitola8

Location, location, location! We have rented several unique properties in the area over the years, and this one was truly a gem for our family. We have three teenagers, and they were able to safely explore the area together, walk to get ice cream, and visit the arcade just five minutes from the rental. The proximity to the beach also cannot be overstated, it made for an incredibly relaxing week.Because we live only about two hours north, driving made it easy to bring our own sheets and towels. After purchasing new sheets specifically for our stay, I couldn't help but feel a little bad thinking about how many guests likely do the same, then donate or throw them away because they don't fit the beds in their own homes (we donated 2 out of the 3 sets). It just doesn't feel like the most sustainable approach. Other than that minor detail, we had a wonderful experience and would happily stay here again.
