Lovely home in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to several casual restaurants (and some great ice cream). A convenient and more affordable home base for exploring Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay. And the backyard garden is beautiful!

Very cute and comfortable home. Perfect for two couples. Very nice set-up inside. Nice kitchen and clean house and bathrooms.The only recommendation I could share is that some simple landscaping could be done. Mow the grass and pull a few weeds.Overall, it was a great place to stay.

We had a wonderful trip. This was a nice quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to 41st street with food and coffee about 10min walk. Also about 15 min walk to Capitola village where you have plenty of food and shopping. The home had everything we needed. Thank you for a great getaway.

Beautiful Beach House

This is a beautiful little beach house with many very nice updates. It is in a quiet neighborhood but an easy walk to the restaurants, shops and other attractions of Capitola Village. The house was spotless. We have allergies and the owner was great with their no pets policy and accommodating our requests for no down pillows and bedding and having the bedding washed with fragrance free detergent. We would be happy to return.

The location is perfect.

We like to stay near Capitola and this house is in a very nice location. We could easily walk everywhere we wanted to go; restaurants, grocery stores, beach, pier, cliff walk. The house is very nicely decorated and the kitchen and baths have been renovated.

Perfection!

Exceptionally clean, location perfect and quite neighborhood. I will definitely have all of my out of town family stay here. Communication with the property manager was perfect. Capitola Village is a short enjoyable walk and many great restaurants within walking distance. I could not have found a better location.

Beautiful location - responsive owner

Enjoyed our stay at this home in beautiful Capitola near the beach, close to stores. Great neighborhood. House was well-maintained and clean. Used all rooms including two adult children sharing finished garage room. Warm comfortable beds. Mike was responsive to our needs when we had to make some last-minute changes due to COVID restrictions and while we were there. Great outdoor area also nice to enjoy during day or evenings. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Capitola Gem

We had a great time! The house was very clean and as described in the description. We had 2 babies under two and it was perfect for them (we did move breakable items from curious little hands but the house was easily navigated by our babes). The location is perfect. We took multiple daily walks to the public beach and to the brewery and shops down the street. Only thing missing was dish soap but the kitchen was nicely stocked and had everything else we needed. Michael was very attentive with returning messages. We loved this place and would definitely come back!

Cute home & Amazing location

We had a great stay at this cottage close to the beach. The best part about the home is 1) the location with easy walking to the beach and restaurants and 2) the back deck and yard. The inside was comfortable, well equipped and had everything we needed.
