Wonderful

We’ve always wanted to stay here. It was fantastic. A bunch of adults eating, drinking dancing at all the cool places. Walking distance to everything we wanted to do
We stayed at the property for a week with our family. It was exactly as expected. Beautiful home, and a wonderful location right on the beach. We will definitely stay again!
This adorable beach house is perfect in every way! We absolutely loved our stay and will be back again next year. The owners were very responsive and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Highly recommend.
Hi Cindy,
MANY apologies for the delay in responding to your review! But we'd love to hear what improvements we can make to have improved your rating to a 5-star. ;)
(If related to guests needing to bring their own linens: of course, we have considered supplying them, it would just mean increasing the nightly rate pretty significantly - and we like to keep it as low as possible for our guests! We've found folks would prefer to keep the cost down and bring their own, but totally respect that this doesn't work best for everyone.)
Thanks in advance for any additional feedback you'd be willing to provide.
Best,
~carey, on behalf of Capitola8
Loved the location of this property. It was walking distance to the beach, shopping, and dining. We had plenty of room for five adults. Shower was very tiny. Had a hard time getting hair wet it was so short. A downfall was that no linens are provided, but works out ok, just don’t forget. Would love to stay here again!!
The ceilings are not low they are extremely low. Downstairs if you are 5’10 or taller you have to duck. The shower upstairs is for someone under 5’ and the bathroom downstairs is not usable for any adult.

Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay -Jacqueline
We had so much fun staying in this cute beach house in capitola. The ceiling was a bit low for our 6’4” guest but that’s expected & was comical. The beach house has everything you need and is in the perfect location. Would definitely stay here again.
The property is well located and well maintained. The downstairs bathroom is very compact. It would be beneficial if linens and towels were supplied. Kitchen was very well supplied. Overall a great place.
You can't beat the location. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. The staircase is pretty steep so maybe not the best place for toddlers. But this place is great for adults and for families with kids that have already mastered the art of walking (or haven't started yet).
The location was perfect, especially when you have grandkids that wake up at 7am asking to go to the beach, it was easy being only steps away. The first floor ceiling is low with a beam that runs across making it hard on tall people and the stairway to the second floor is tricky but overall the place was great!
The property was well stocked and in good condition. A bit cramped compared to a normal house/condo but was exactly as described. Overall, a very good experience and we would rent it again.
The Venetian Courts in Capitola are a landmark of the area. The best part is not only are the courts a great place to stay but you are literally on the beach and steps from downtown. We spent the celebrating our daughter’s birthday and it was perfect. They took the upstairs and we took the downstairs. This place has one of the usable second story decks which was a great way to end the day. Definitely would recommend
We had an amazing week in Capitola. The house is steps from the beach. We rented several places for a family reunion. This one was so convenient for gathering. We will be back next year.
The property is quaint, and spacious - the stairs are not safe, however. otherwise it was a great place to stay - can't beat the location.
