Quiet Retreat Nestled in the Redwood Forests
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (31)
"Checkin was easy and painless, the cabin itself is quiet and very relaxing. It had a full kitchen and we were able to prepare groceries there without issue. The road to get in/out seemed daunting, but our two wheel drive rental car made it fine even during intense rain. Michael was a great host and I would absolutely stay here again!"

Capitola Village Bungalow - 2 Blocks from the Sand
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (5)
"We loved the space - the owners definitely made the most out of a very small space. The apartment is beautiful, well stocked with everything you need for a stay, and right by the beach. The only issue we had was that it was a little crowded - and bathrooms were tiny. Might be difficult for someone tall or wide to navigate."

"We had a wonderful time. The unit is clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The photos are a little generous in terms of the space. There are some low ceilings and the layout is a little different than how the photos present, but you won't be disappointed. It's a great spot."

Pleasure Point Cottage #C
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (16)
"Cute one bedroom place. Location was excellent. Since it was back from the street, it was quiet. It was nice to have an enclosed backyard given we had dogs. The yard was not well tended. They did have a Weber BBQ but the charcoal holder was unusable and needed replacement. Overall, the place was clean and had a great location. We would return."

Capitola Village Hideaway Bungalow - Pet friendly!
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (2)
"I come to Capitola often and this was my first stay here The apartment is so cozy and tucked away a couple blocks off the main streets so relatively quiet. The small kitchenette was well appointed for a short stay and had all the essentials. Foot traffic in the upstairs unit is quite loud (primarily due to hardwood floors) but I was otherwise to have respectful neighbors in regards to additional noise. Overall a very cute comfortable place to stay for an adult weekend getaway."

"We spent a wonderful weekend here! The only glitch was that I didn’t get check in information on the VRBO app-but they responded quickly to my text and from there it was super easy to get into the apartment. If you’re looking for a place near the beach-look no further! Great location with everything one would need!"
