IDEAL LOCATION! Steps 2 Beach,Shops,Dining/Great Yard 4 BBQ

3 Bedroom Beach house, in the heart of downtown Capitola. Beach, shops, wine bars, and restaurants just steps away. Rent a surf board a few doors down, and walk 2 very short blocks to the beach! House is hip, comfy, and a great layout for families. Private, outdoor patio is perfect for entertaining, with comfortable lounge seating, a succulent garden, grill and dining table.

Newly remodeled kitchen is open to dining area and sunroom, creating a comfortable living space. Dining room table expands to seat 6-10. Sunroom has cozy, gas burning fireplace, and lounge seating facing the backyard. A perfect spot for morning coffee. Living room is at the opposite end of the house, with flat, screen TV and BluRay/DVD.
Two lovely bedrooms downstairs, charmingly furnished. Newly remodeled downstairs bathroom with full bath and shower.

The 3rd bedroom is upstairs, very large-- and, perfect for kids. It includes a 1/2 bath. Bunkbeds sleep 6. Twin mattresses on top, and Full mattresses on the bottom. There is also an additional 'play area' upstairs with a new full size futon. A flat screen TV and BluRay/DVD player are also located in the upstairs bedroom for in-bed movies!

Downstairs, beside the bathroom, you'll find a washer and dryer for your sandy clothes. And, our outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) is great for rinsing off, with plenty of room to hang wet suits and sandy towels.

This house is perfect for a family vacation, romantic getaway or girlfriends weekend. It has all the amenities you need for a comfortable vacation. House can accommodate 10, however it is more comfortable for 8 people (especially adults!). For that reason, there is an additional $50 charge per person, per night, over 8 people. PLEASE NOTE: If you see this listing on Craigslist, you are being scammed. I never advertise there.

It is so hard to find a place to stay for a family of 9. This was an ideal set up for us with one adult child, one teen and 5 kiddos under age 10. The interior of the home is beautiful and everything was well stocked. Lots of restaurants in walking distance, including Margaritaville and Pizza My Heart! The beach is also an easy walk and includes a perfect view of the lovely Venitian Hotel. Biggest downside: parking during the weekends (and probably all summer) is a drag, but it was fine on the weekdays. The hosts are VERY responsive and more flexible than other places we have stayed. The listing truly reflects the property and gives all the necessary information. Plus, no noise or light restrictions (amd no cranky neighbors) made for less stress. We will be back!

My bridesmaids and I stayed in this lovely property before my wedding in Soquel and we adored it. They provided super easy access which was great for a bigger group. Location was 11/10 too. It was nestled in a cute neighborhood away from the main Capitola Village traffic yet a perfect 2 minute walk to everything. So beyond happy we found this place!

We loved the house! It was perfect for my daughter Sweet 16. We had 7 16 year olds in the house and they loved it. The rooms are set up perfectly for larger groups, the kitchen is well stocked and most importantly, our host was responsive and flexible.

What a wonderful house that is walking distance to the beach. We had a great time staying here. Spent most of our week on the beach and enjoying downtown Capitola. We loved the house and the kids especially loved the upstairs. They felt like they had their own hotel room. It was a great week and a perfect house to stay with the whole family. Thank You :)

Great property, well stocked, upstairs loft was a hit with the kids and location to shops/restaurants was great! Parking isn’t ideal but that’s expected by the beach.

This is our 11th year enjoying this beach house. Always clean, very well taken care of by the owner. We love to sit outside on the patio, kitchen is fully furnished for cooking and entertaining. Beach is just a few steps away as well as lots of restaurants and entertainment. We book our next year the week we leave Capitola. We love being there and look forward to coming every year.

We had a great time! This was a nice affordable place for a big family. We enjoyed the backyard and the outdoor shower was perfect after spending the day at the beach. The location was great once we had parking we didn’t need to go anywhere. The village is right there and we set up early at the beach so we had a great spot. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We scheduled a "girls weekend" in Capitola. This home had the best location and was perfect for our needs. The location couldn't have been better. We parked once and walked everywhere....lots of restaurants and shopping within a block...and the beach was right there as well. The home was clean and had comfortable beds for all. We will definitely be back!

We loved the location of this place! The house was great. We only had two issues that came up during our visit. There were minor cleanliness issues. Some of the dishes in the cabinet were quite dirty. Also, the comforter for one of the beds upstairs had some stains on the top. The TV in the living room also had some minor issues. A lot of the apps on the TV didn't work. It didn't fully seem wifi related. Some of the apps worked, like YouTube. However, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video did not. Other than that, we had a great stay!
