About this property
Spacious Capitola Home, Inviting LARGE backyard, BBQ and minutes to the BEACH!
Welcome to the Wharf House, our home away from home, close to everything Capitola and Santa Cruz has to offer! You want to feel relaxed while on vacation and we have made an effort to make our home feel like a cozy and comfortable beach retreat!
We are a 30 day vacation rental. However, we are open to adjusting length of stay. Depending on length of stay, additional fees may apply. Contact us if interested!
The Space: Our vaulted ceilings and open floor plan allow for plenty of room to stretch out. Recently updated back deck has become the most inviting spot to have meals, sip coffee or soak in the sunshine! A large BBQ situated by the outdoor dining table makes cooking up those yummy meals a breeze! As for the cooler evenings or foggy mornings, just flip on the gas fireplace and get cozy.
Location: Amazing location! Shadowbrook restaurant is literally across the street! This is a staple restaurant of Capitola, founded in 1924 and known for its 'romance in dining'. If you're new to the area, this is an experience you must do! From happy hour to fine dining, it's a treat to be able to start or end your evening at this place.
We are situated just above the Capitola wharf for an easy downhill stroll to the heart of Capitola Village! Explore the unique boutiques, cafes, wine bars, water front dining or grab food to go (Pizza My Heart) as you head for a day at the beach!
