Leonard was wonderful and such a gracious host. The house is perfectly located on the beach
Beautiful property, amazing location am just a short walk into town and wonderful eateries. Leonard made the process very easy and was very kind and gracious
Perfect location for our family weekend. Steps away from the water, minutes away from shops and restaurants. Our host Leonard was very hospitable, and was rightfully proud of his property. Highly recommend.

We all had a wonderful time at Leonard's beach house in Capitola.
The property is well maintained and clean. It is comfortable for two families with children. The views from upstairs are fabulous of the beach.

Great location, wonderful family get away!
We stayed for a family get away with our kids and another family. The owner was very helpful and communicated well with us. The house was large and great for two families, with plenty of privacy for all. The views from the deck are great! We had a wonderful time and would book this place again in a heartbeat!

Great location, being next to beach and village, for our group of nine. Parking is limited, but overflow parking is available up the hill. Leonard is very accommodating.

Katie.....I'm glad you came, however, there was only limited parking because you came with 9 ladies in 7 cars. Also, our entire street was blocked off for the Capitola Fireworks Display. This happens only once a year for which there is normally plenty of parking.

The house was great and had everything we needed for a great long weekend!
Our stay was amazing. The house was perfectly located a few steps from beach and the village of Capitola. We cooked most meals at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed for 10 people. Leonard was very helpful and responsive to questions both before trip and during. We would rent the place again!

Great Week in Capitola
Spent the week in Leonard's place in Capitola. He was a gracious host with all of the amenities you would expect. The house is spacious and comfortable. He also provided great recommendations for places to go. We made good use of the grill, and it is literally steps from the beach. Looking forward to coming back next year.

My fiancé and I came with a group of friends for Labor Day weekend and would definitely stay here again! Leonard was so helpful and even saved us a parking spot. We loved being able to walk everywhere we were steps from the beach and close to all the restaurants and shopping. I loved leaving our windows open to listen to the ocean all night! We will be back !

Perfect house perfect location
We came here for a girls weekend and had such an amazing time. I highly recommend Leonard’s home. It was spacious, clean and walking distance to everything. We had the honor of meeting Leonard while checking out. He was always available to answer our questions during our stay and even responsive to our emails prior to our visit. Thanks again for having us ❤️

And, especially "thank you" for taking such good care of my home!
Leonard
Leonard was the perfect host and the house was the setting for a perfect family vacation. Leonard waited for us to check in and saved us a prime parking spot. His house was well appointed and had all if the necessary items for a great rental. We ate all of our meals in the house and used the outdoor grill too. The beach is steps away. The waves lull you to sleep. Book your stay now!

It was great to visit Capitola again. This trip was originally scheduled for Easter week, but was rescheduled (with ease) for November. Working with Leonard was a pleasure. The place is as Leonard describes it, and just steps from the beach. Great place to watch the sunrise. Everything is open again in the Village (albeit at reduced capacity). Everyone I dealt with in town was welcoming in these nutty times.

Best Beach Location!
I rented this house for a girls weekend and the location is perfect. It's a a couple of steps to the beach and a short walk to all of the Capitola restaurants and bars. The home really does sleep 10 and the kitchen is fully stocked for cooking and cocktailing.
Leonard was a super host. He went out of his way to make sure we had free parking for the weekend, we knew how everything in the home worked, and he was super responsive to all of my questions.
I wish I could live there...

About the host
Hosted by Host
Hello!......I've been enjoying the beach house for some years and have decided to share with people who enjoy a beautiful, tranquil place to stay.
Why Leonard chose Capitola: Superb location with really great neighbors. On the sand. Great access to beach activity, restaurants, entertainment and shopping.
What makes this House unique: Super relaxed environment. Right on the beach. One to two minute walk to great restaurants & entertainment. Seagulls and fishing. Ocean breeze and seagull sounds all day!
Why they chose this property
I fell in Love with the Capitola Historic Venetians many years ago. I first purchased one unit, then another and combined them to create a new completely remodeled, beautiful beach home in the Heart of Capitola Village.
What makes this property unique
SMOKE FREE......AND PET FREE.....My home is only 12 steps to the sand.........28 restaurants and shopping within a 2 minute walk!....You will hear the waves rummaging through the wharf on its way to the sand........You overlook the Wharf, the Esplanade (many great restaurants and shops), the surfers, the Wharf To Wharf race, the Art & Wine Festival, the Sand Castles, the sailboats and of course the sea!......Both Master Suites have a Jacuzzi Tub, so you can look at the beach while soaking away in a bubble bath!.The nice thing about Capitola is that you don't need to drive anywhere. Everything is within an easy walk, or if you prefer to take public transportation, that is available as well....There are so many great restaurants: The Shadow Brook, The Stockton Bridge, Bella Roma, Margaritaville, Carusos, Paradise Beach and Lillians. A great breakfast omelet overlooking the ocean is at the end of the Capitola Wharf at the Wharf Restaurant.
