The home was very clean and spacious. The beach view was amazing along with the short walks to restaurants. It was nice to be able to have a garage to park our car in. BBQing was also a plus. It was like we had all the comforts of home but a more spectacular view. We will definitely be back.

We loved staying here! Can’t beat the location. Condo was clean, fully stocked with all necessities, pet friendly. Loved that it was pet friendly! There were several codes to remember to get into the garage, garage door gate and house but this did make us feel safer. Check in and out was super easy and Nancy was easy to communicate with. Will most definitely stay here again.

10 out of 10! Highly recommend staying at this fantastic apartment. Incredible location steps from the wharf,pier, and Downtown Capitola. The views can't be beat. Very comfortable for a family of 4 with two older teens. It is so beautifully decorated and has everything you need. We spent many afternoons on the balcony sipping wine, people watching and gazing at the ocean. Nancy and her son, Tyler were great communicators. My son left his laptop there and Tyler picked it up for us and mailed it back! Can't wait to come back!

Capitola Condo

It is a great place to stay. The view is really nice and the condo is cozy and has everything a family needs for a fun stay- 30 second walk to the beach, and the new wharf. The only draw back is the amount of traffic- cars coming in and out to let off kayaks starting early in the AM and going all day.

Location, location BEACH location

We had an awesome time staying at this Capitola beach condo. The garage was a perfect place to park a single car and not have to fight for parking. The location and view cannot be beat. You do have to climb stairs, so keep that in mind. The bed in the far back bedroom did taco a bit and makes you roll to the middle, but the place was clean. The bathroom toilet needed adjustment as it constantly ran, but we informed the owner. Overall, great location and we hope to rebook.

This place was perfect. The location couldn’t be better—you’re literally 20 steps from the sand, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. We found ourselves not wanting to leave, just soaking it all in. The space was spotless and super comfortable. The beds were dreamy, and the heating worked perfectly when the temps dipped at night. A peaceful, cozy, beachside escape. We’d come back in a heartbeat.
