The beachy vibe of our studio effortlessly blends with its clean, simple decor, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and relaxation.

The studio boasts a fully equipped kitchen complete with an oven, stove, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, and a cozy dining table, ideal for whipping up a quick breakfast or a leisurely meal while enjoying the beach view.



Please note that parking is limited to one car. However, with the condo's central location, you'll find that many of Capitola Village's attractions and amenities are within walking distance, making it convenient to explore the area on foot.



Maximum occupancy of two, strictly enforced.  Shared coin-operated laundry room.  There are 2 beach chairs and a beach umbrella provided.

Location location location, it doesn't get any better than this. We were worried about the bed ( being a Murphy bed ),but it was very comfortable and the pillows were perfect. The parking ended up being great, but we could see how that could end up being a problem if it was fully booked.the elevator was great, just wished we would have known about it before we unloaded the car. Overall we were very happy

Great location for either a relaxed holiday or a busy one enjoying the local restaurants/ bars. Property is clean and well maintained. Could not ask for more.

Had a last minute Family matter to attend and this location worked perfectly for our situation plus it’s been awhile since we have been to the coast. It was relaxing hearing the ocean waves watching the surfers show up at 4 in the morning, lol clean & comfortable cottage. Hope to rebook someday soon.

Excellent location by the beach - it was nice to listen to the surf at night. Walking distance to several nice restaurants and bars. I was a little concerned about the parking when we booked the property, but it turns out that I shouldn't have been as we had no problems during out stay. Great place for a weekend beach getaway!

Holy Capitola

There's nothing else to say other than this place is the single best location in town! Even the million dollar plus homes next door or up on the hill have nothing on this place! Super simple and perfect. Panoramic view was unreal. Coffee in the morning through happy hour each afternoon/evening... Sitting on the front balcony people watching was epic. Ocean views and waves crashing... Never gets old. I almost don't want to pump this place up because we want it all to ourselves... Loved it and will be back!

Overall a nice and convenient stay. Walkable to everything. Excellent view of beach and downtown. One of very few balconies overlooking Capitola beach and village. Small but functional kitchen and bathroom. Good WiFi and comfortable furniture. Parking was tricky and tight for larger vehicles. Lots of cute beachy accessories and well supplied with everything you need. Kinda pricey but the location can’t be beat. Very pleasant stay for early risers and downtown action. Note: there are early deliveries and trash pickup in the village but very little foot traffic in the mornings. Enjoy!

Amazing!! So close to everything and did not want to leave the place.

It’s was our 30th Anniversary, we had an amazing time and never had to drive anywhere. I wish there Wr assigned parking spaces .. but we just went shopping super early in the morning . Kept the studio windows open the whole time and the ocean sounds was amazing even during the day. So hard to stay indoors cuz the beach kept calling. Very clean and we cooked a lot due to my husband’s health but loved it, very well equipped we didn’t need to use our stuff . 10/10 loved this place . Can’t wait to comeback

Capitola beach overlook

The apartment has a wonderful outlook on the beach and activities below. Unfortunately, it was crowded with unnecessary decorative accessories, card games, and duplicates of kitchen equipment that made it difficult to find room for one's own clothing and personal items, or operate efficiently in the small kitchen. It would be even more difficult with two residents. I have found this to be true with many "by owner" rentals. In this case, all the flat surfaces were covered with decorative items, with no bare surfaces available for the tenant. The closet was filled with beach equipment, and drawers with cards and games. The kitchen had drawers stuffed with gadgets and dup[licates, rather than just the basics needed. It made "settling in" a bit of a chore.The location and view is excellent. I can not imagine why the owner has neglected to replace the thermopane windows that have lost their seal, when the view is such an important part of one's experience.The high table and two chairs near the South window may seem stylish, but it is not a comfortable place to sit, nor easy to get into. It felt very precarious. I noticed that one of the lower units had a comfortable easy chair and side table, which was more inviting as a sitting spot.The apartment has location and view, and is the perfect size for one person--or two very agreeable persons. I hope someone can go through the unit with the view of the occupant in mind, rather than that of a "stylist".

We had a wonderful stay at the property. It is a perfect location to visit Capitola. We spent the evenings just sitting on the two patios and watching the city go by as the sun set in the background. I would highly recommend the property to anyone. We have stayed at many places in Capitola and this was by far our favorite. You could not be more in the heart of everything than here.

Anniversary Weekend

I booked this for my Anniversary Weekend. Location is amazing with great view of Beach. Bed was comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. They did have an electronic lock with a passcode to get in and out and it took me until the end of the trip to figure it out. I was able to get in the first day, but later couldn't figure it out and used the key that was provided. Once I figured it out, it was simple, just took me a few days to get my brain to work, so maybe a quick detailed message on how it works should be added to check in but otherwise I had No issues at all and would Love to stay again.
