The location was exactly what we wanted and the space worked fine. Our host/property manager was very accessible, professional, and easy to work with during our stay.

this is an excellent property which we have enjoyed for four years, June to September. It is beautifully laid out with one bedroom downstairs and two upstairs. Everything you could possibly need is furnished. The beds are comfy and linens are top quality. The Host Rose is wonderful. I made a couple calls to her and the response was immediate.

Fantastic stay in capitola

It was a wild winter this year and we are very sad at the loss of the pier. We were happy to have this great home for our stay again this year. Such a fantastic location.

our summer haven

We love this property - everything is perfect. We have family in the area and this is such a friendly place to entertain them. It's obvious the place is loved by the family of owners. The property manager, Rose, answered every question and was always very friendly.

the perfect place to stay, located within a short walk to the village and right across from Shadow Brook Restaurant. We have family in the area. The house is well laid out. Downstairs space is wonderful space for the family to gather. I loved the kitchen which is well stocked with everything needed (I love to cook). the patio is pleasant. the bedrooms are all very generous with ample high quality bedding and comfortable mattresses.

Excellent location; wonderful home

We have lived in this area before and were delighted by the location of the property. It is close to Capitola Beach and town and the newly completed wharf was also a great easy walk. The house itself was immaculate, spacious, open feeling. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. The property manager was great and accommodating. We stayed there for about 6 weeks and look forward to staying here again in the future. Thank you for creating a great atmosphere for vacation and winding down! Loved it!

Ten Stars

We had a wonderful 2 1/2 month stay in this lovely home. As title says we would give 10 stars if available. Furnishings, bedding, linens all top grade. Very comfortable with the feel of family everywhere - loved the pictures Patio perfect for a drink in the late afternoon and the grill is first class. Manager Rose was always available for questions and requests. We loved the location and walked into the village, library and Nob Hill frequently - and we are 85 years old.

Couldn't be better!

This is a lovely home - close to Capitola and the beach but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. It is large with 3 good-sized bedrooms plus two large baths. The kitchen & laundry room are also a normal "home" size as is the living space and backyard. Everything has been perfectly maintained and/or upgraded. You are just blocks away (but well insulated) from all the shopping you will need from Whole Foods to Target. You are also a short walk away from the beach, Cliff Drive, or Capitola town. Rose, the property manager, made everything very easy in terms of welcome and check-in. We had one small question that she answered immediately. I would put this home on the top of your list if you are considering a trip to the Santa Cruz/Capital area. We hope to return soon!

Loved this place.

House was clean, spacious, well-equipped, comfortable, and walking distance to beach and Capitola Village. One improvement that could be made is to have a smart TV. House is on a somewhat busy street, but house was quiet inside with front windows closed and in the backyard.

Awesome home and location

My wife and I loved staying at this wonderful home in Capitola. Only a short walk to the village. A walk we took daily. Close to every convenience. The home has everything you would need. Great layout. Spacious back deck. We will miss the sounds of ocean.
