Our stay was wonderful! The property is gorgeous and the rooms were spacious. Kitchen had everything we needed including a coffee pot, pots and pans, etc. There was enough room for everyone to enjoy and relax. Just steps away from the beach and 12 minutes to downtown Capitola. The host was responsive and very accommodating which eased a lot of worry. Im excited to stay here again.

This is our second time of staying at the home for a week for a family birthday celebration. The house is absolutely perfect! The two downstairs TV/pool rooms were great for kids, the wetsuits were utilized almost every day, and the deck we enjoyed from waking in the morning until bedtime. The house has been remodeled between our visits, and it is top notch. We are already talking about renting it again in 5 years.

Absolutely Perfect House!Over the years we have stayed at dozens of VRBO homes, and this house is certainly among the top three. Extremely clean, great beds and linens, kitchen is very well stocked, and there are activities galore for the kids (and adults). The bedroom/bathroom layout offers lots of privacy and there are quiet areas that are perfect for reading (or a nap). The location is great. Short block to the beach but traffic drops off to almost zero after dark so it is quiet. Everything you need is within a ten-minute drive. And to top things off, the manager is super easy to work with and exceptionally nice. Highly recommend this property.

Fabulous Home for Family Reunion

The Sunny Cove beach house is an amazing property close to the ocean and fully equipped with all you will need for a fun getaway. Our host was responsive and helpful. Our family of 13 adults and one child played pickle ball, enjoyed the beach, and cooked/grilled huge meals in the spacious kitchen. We highly recommend this property for family gatherings.

About the host

Hosted by Amber Shaw

Host profile image
We are a family of five with three sons who have grown up spending a lot of time at our beloved Beach House. We hope you love staying here as much as we do. We personally manage our house and strive to provide excellent service. We support small local businesses in the care and maintenance of our home.

Why they chose this property

We love the ocean view from the sunny deck, and the location close to beaches, coffee, a top-notch local tacqeria, and lots of other wonderful places to discover.

What makes this property unique

With a unique layout of private quiet spaces and gathering areas, our home is absolutely perfect for a large family or a family reunion. Nothing can beat the view of the ocean from the deck. If you're lucky and there is no fog, the lights of Monterey twinkle across the Bay. It's magical.
