Deck was great for meals, bottle of wine, reading, and enjoying watching the people and dogs walk by. View of the river was peaceful. TVs were good. Fireplace was great. Only a couple of minutes to walk to Capitola on the beach and great restaurants there.

Great location right along the river. House was cute and quaint; a two-minute walk to the restaurants and beach. Unfortunately the area rug smelled like dog pee & there was dog hair on the couches; but the owner was very responsive and had the cleaning crew come by to assist during our stay. Would definitely come back.

The location - with the patio overlooking the Soquel river; easy walking distance to the town of Capitola and the beach; and folks walking by the patio and being friendly made us feel part of the community. We enjoyed our 4 night stay. Thank you.

Shops, dining and beach all within a 5 minute walk. Great deck, cute house. Though there is one bathroom it is worth noting that it is Jack and Jill style, one door is in the hallway and the other is through primary bedroom, turning it from questionable to totally doable. We were happily surprised. Though the description says it sleeps six, two beds are double, which they note) so may not work for larger folks.

We had peaceful mornings and beautiful nights here. One of our favorites stays in Capitola. We’ve come every year for the past 10 years or so during Labor Day weekend. This home is such a gem! The peaceful river, beautiful surroundings of trees and flowers makes a perfect picture for our early morning coffee and afternoon naps. Walking distance to everything.
Breathtaking view from the back patio

We loved this place! We sat on the lovely deck and used the kayak and paddle board. It was perfect for walking to the beach and walking to Gayle’s for pastries. We will definitely rent it again.
