Tiki time

The property was spotless, very close to a great beach and within walking distance to a number of cute restaurants. The backyard is gorgeous! Perfect place to decompress for a few days.

Little slice of heaven

This property is a perfect blend of coziness and charm. You can tell that the owners truly spent time creating a little oasis away from the world. The backyard is a wonderful sun trap with a hot tub. All the bedrooms are beautifully decorated and comfy. High quality decor and bedding. The kitchen has everything you need. You are just a short walk from the beach or a 10 minute drive to Capitola with its amazing shops and restaurants. Highly recommend this property and we hope to be back soon!
