Love this cottage, 3rd stay here and booking for next summer!

Love the layout of the cottage, the location, decks and the charm. It really has everything my family needs for our annual Capitola week. It’s just close enough to the village and beach that we can trust the grandkids to walk alone, mostly.

Perfect location, cute and quaint beach home accommodations! We loved having a little yard to hang out in and more than one bathroom. Be aware that all the beds are on the small size if you have tall folks in your group: the enclosed porch has two small (twin?) beds plus a daybed, the second bedroom has two small (twin?) beds, and the master has what I think was a full size bed. Could accommodate up to 7 small folks. Bring your own bath soap.

The best beach weekend!

The rose cottage was perfect for us in every way. First of all, it is just so charming and lovely! For being close to town, it was very quiet and we all slept really well. The beds are high quality, the kitchen was stocked with ALL of the necessary equipment which is hard to find in weekend rentals. Communication with Denise was easy and made our stay stress-free. Can’t wait to go back!

Family vacation

I loved everything!! It's a two minute walk to the beach and conveniently located to all the shops. a little dated and in need of a few appliances and kitchenware. The owners are great and so quick to respond. This is my second year in a row staying we'll probably be back again soon.

Family at the beach

This property is in a great location with a beautiful backyard. The beach is only 3 blocks away with shops and restaurants at the end of the block. We will be going back soon. The only drawback is that there is only one parking space so if you have more than one car you have to find parking nearby or park in the City’s daily parking about 1/4 mile away.

Great visit with 3 generations

Our second visit, this is a great spot. Grandparents and grandkids alike love it. Note to owners: a little maintenance work on front showerhead and replacing burnt out light bulbs in several rooms would give great bang for the buck. All told, those are minor inconveniences and this place is magical. The walk to the beach and around town is unbeatably convenient. Great spots out of the town center are also a short walk like Gayle's and Sante Adarius. The corner market has surprisingly good selection of snacks, local beer, cough medicine, everything.

Cute cottage- centrally located but quiet

We came to Capitola for my mom’s 80th birthday and to see family that lives locally. This quaint cottage is conveniently located a half block off the main street and a couple blocks from the beach. In spite of the proximity to the commercial center, the cottage was very quiet. The dedicated parking was definitely a plus in this neighborhood! The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The only tip I would give to other travelers is if there are any mobility issues, this may not be the best fit. There are steps up to the cottage, a claw foot tub/shower in one bathroom and step down to the second bath with the easily accessible shower. That being said, my 80 year old mother had no issues here. We would definitely love to come back and make this a yearly tradition!

Amazing character and joy for 3 generations!

Wow, it is so refreshing to have the privilege of sharing someone's well-appointed family home rather than an investment holding with IKEA chic commodities. We found everything we could need readily on hand, from ample towels and spare linens to a nice selection of dishware to even a folding wagon and sand shovels for the kids. The walk to the beach is as close as nearby resorts, and town is delightfully fun to stroll. I was surprised how quiet the street felt only half a block from the main drag - sleeping on the porch with open windows was peaceful and pleasant. BBQ was brand new and we got to meet the owners next door to thank them. In town for a wedding and a wonderful Father's day weekend, we got beach time, delightful strolls to a bakery (Gayle's) and a brewery Sainte Adarius), played card and board games with grandkids and grandparents together and enjoyed a wonderful dinner on the patio. The warm water outdoor shower was a special treat which made returning from ocean play so much smoother. We already booked to return! Thank you!

It was so wonderful to walk into a clean, fresh, charming place. The cottage was so adorable and met our needs perfectly. Both the indoor space and outdoor space we so pleasing to what we were looking for- relaxation. It was close enough to the beach and village yet a block away from all the business of an active weekend. We home to stay here again!!

Location, location, location!

This house is perfectly situated just a short walk from the village in Capitola. Such a perfect location. The house is small, but well appointed and had a nice deck out back that makes the space feel bigger. The only reason this didn't get five stars is that the bathrooms did not have bars of soap or shampoo and conditioner. We would definitely stay here again.
