Great little place for my daughter and I to stay for a weekend water polo tournament. So close to the beach and the amazing little Capitola center. Much more comfortable than a hotel for around the same price.

Hi Dan, Thanks so much for the nice review, and for also being the absolute ideal guest. When the cleaners arrived, they said they hardly needed to clean it - it looked so great. Also, greatly appreciate the wonderful communication throughout. If any VRBO hosts are reading this review, we highly recommend Dan as a VRBO guest!

What an awesome stay. I have limited mobility but the location was perfect. We were able to comfortably walk wherever we wanted to go. Close enough to spend the day at the beach and walk back for drink refills, snacks and bathroom breaks. Well stocked with everything you could want. Definitely stop at Gayle's for delicious foods for every meal. Sandwiches, salads and still dreaming of their quiche. Ready to go, no cooking! And the pastries are to die for.

Our family loves Capitola! The Lawn House was just as described and you can’t beat the location. Steps from the beach and all the shops and restaurants. This would be a great spot for a couple. Highly recommend!
