The home was very clean and spacious. The beach view was amazing along with the short walks to restaurants. It was nice to be able to have a garage to park our car in. BBQing was also a plus. It was like we had all the comforts of home but a more spectacular view. We will definitely be back.

Great for a couple and a small family to share.I would get a carafe for the coffee pot in case people want to brew their own coffee. The keurig was fine. Owner is VERY responsive! Great place to staycation in Capitola literally steps from the pier.

Thank you Tammy. I appreciate letting me know the carafe was missing from the coffee maker. I had no idea it was missing. We now have a coffee maker along with the Keurig.

Capitola Condo

It is a great place to stay. The view is really nice and the condo is cozy and has everything a family needs for a fun stay- 30 second walk to the beach, and the new wharf. The only draw back is the amount of traffic- cars coming in and out to let off kayaks starting early in the AM and going all day.

Great condo with beach view!

We were visiting from San Francisco, looking for a little beachfront condo to spend spring break, and did we hit the jackpot. This place is in a fantastic location, just steps from Capitola Beach. It's also nicely furnished and well stocked. We will definitely be staying here again.

Best location in Capitola Village!

My favorite vacation stay ever! I spent 32 days and loved every minute. Comfortable beds, great living space and the best balcony and view. Short walk to everything the village has to offer, right at the wharf and beach! I have already booked another stay!

This place was perfect. The location couldn’t be better—you’re literally 20 steps from the sand, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. We found ourselves not wanting to leave, just soaking it all in. The space was spotless and super comfortable. The beds were dreamy, and the heating worked perfectly when the temps dipped at night. A peaceful, cozy, beachside escape. We’d come back in a heartbeat.
