"The unit was lovely, although we did not use the kitchen. Everything was very clean, and the rooms were comfortable. The location was excellent, as we were able to walk to the restaurants where we had reservations. The host kept us well-informed as to the check-in process, and the instructions were very complete and easy to follow.The stairs to the unit are relatively steep, so anyone with mobility problems might have difficulty."

"My adult son and I were home for a short visit for my 40th Class Reunion, I picked this place because of price and location. It was exactly what the photos showed. If you’ve never been to Capitola By The Sea the only thing you need to prepare for is the parking, you might want to plan for parking behind the Police station. The Hosts were awesome, check-in was super easy, I had some questions that were answered pretty quickly. Will rent from them again!"

BEACH FRONT LUXURY VENETIAN - 2 Jacuzzi Tubs - 2 Parking Passes - BBQ

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was for a multi generational family birthday. The location was wonderful. It’s in easy walking distance to Capitola Village for shopping and dining. Being literally steps from the beach allowed the children to spend a lot of time at the beach. We brought frisbees and kites. Leonard, the host, had lots of sand toys for the kiddos to use as well as beach chairs and an umbrella. The home had plenty of room for the ten of us to spread out. When we arrived Leonard met us and showed us around his home. He also made sure to give us his personal parking spot. You get two parking passes for the street parking about eighty feet from the front door as well as the village. On the weekend it’s better to plan on not moving your vehicle once you get it parked. Finding another spot close by can be tough. Also if you have three vehicles you can be playing musical cars but all in all if you know ahead of time you can plan accordingly and the parking is very doable. Overall we had a great time at Leonard’s home."
