We would definitely stay here again.
We visited for three nights (Fri-Sun) in October (weekend, so the beach scene was busy, but not quite as intense as summer/high season).
Steps to shops, restaurants, beach, surfing. Right in the middle of the Capitola bustle, but surprisingly quiet inside the home -- windows face onto a private courtyard.
Large, modern, comfortable 2/2 home on second floor. Entrance on a shared, private courtyard with an outside shower -- handy for rinsing off sand and salt.
A fair number of steepish steps to enter the home; be advised, if mobility is an issue. Inside is one level.
Parking is a 1-car garage that is down a narrow alley. Getting in and out takes lots of backing and forthing; helps to have two people. Gets easier with practice. Prius fit fine; larger vehicle would be a challenge. A permit for street parking is provided, too.
The garage is located a short, flat walk to the stairs to the unit, so unloading is easy. Inside the garage are beach chairs, an umbrella and a sand wagon.
Interior laundry room is a nice bonus.
Great range of TV options, including Apple TV.
If pushed to find any shortcomings, it would be that there are a lot of paint chips in the wall plaster that need repair. An off note in this otherwise well-appointed home.
