We had a great time during our stay here. The location is excellent and you can easily walk to the beach and lots of restaurants and shops in Capitola. There is even some beach gear available which was very helpful!
The place was a 3 minute walk to the shops, restaurants, and the beach. The host responded quickly to our questions.As an fyi, there is room for one car in the car port and parking on the street is difficult. Also it has 4 levels with stairs which might be difficult for some. We had an absolutely wonderful time and I would love to stay again in the future!
Love love the location!! Size is perfect for 4 a dog. Clean and comfortable. Bed linens could use an upgrade but all in all it was perfect for a weekend away.

We liked the fact that it's within walking distance to the shops and restaurants.
Great property for our family - two kids and my husband and dog - for our long weekend stay. Warm, cozy, and efficient layout. It had everything we needed. Location is excellent. We would love to come back!
The location is amazing! Most everything is within walking distance. And is was really nice that it was dog friendly. In fact, Capitola as a whole is very dog friendly
We stayed a week in this lovely cozy condo which was perfect. The location is top notch, within walking distance of pretty much everything. When I had questions about our stay, they responded immediately and took care of things right away. I would recommend this VRBO to anyone who is planning on a stay in Capitola. Would definitely stay here again!
Location was ideal… walking distance to Capitola downtown area. House was clean and well stocked. Pictures make it look a little newer than it is but still cute and comfy. Lots of stairs so be prepared for that. Would stay here again!
Most of this property was just as described. There were a few maintenance items that needed attention, but these were handled quickly and efficiently.
It was a great place for two couples.
Lucky for us, friends rented a nearby place that had a deck on the river so we spent time there.
Walked to see the sunrise each morning.

Great location. Had all the basics. Quite hot with all the closed windows at arrival. No BBQ as advertised. Windows in bad shape. Dining table unusable for a family as it’s crammed in a very small space.

The location of this condo is excellent. The condo itself is quite modern and decorated nicely. I really appreciated the parking spot and the small balcony and great light that came in through all of the sky lights.
Only a couple of improvements would be the kitchen sink would not drain or did so very slowly. Luckily we didn't need to use it much. There was also a dining room window facing the street that needs repair so it wouldn't close, which led to some more noise from folks coming/going late from the street. I also didn't realize there were so many stairs in the unit-we had some trouble keeping our young toddler away from those. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.
