Great visit with 3 generations
Our second visit, this is a great spot. Grandparents and grandkids alike love it. Note to owners: a little maintenance work on front showerhead and replacing burnt out light bulbs in several rooms would give great bang for the buck. All told, those are minor inconveniences and this place is magical. The walk to the beach and around town is unbeatably convenient. Great spots out of the town center are also a short walk like Gayle's and Sante Adarius. The corner market has surprisingly good selection of snacks, local beer, cough medicine, everything.

Family at the beach
This property is in a great location with a beautiful backyard. The beach is only 3 blocks away with shops and restaurants at the end of the block. We will be going back soon. The only drawback is that there is only one parking space so if you have more than one car you have to find parking nearby or park in the City’s daily parking about 1/4 mile away.

Another great week at the Rose Cottage
The layout of the house is perfect for me, my adult son and 2 grandchildren. We have stayed here before and hope to stay again next year. Location is excellent and close to “ beach family” we meet every year.

I loved everything!! It's a two minute walk to the beach and conveniently located to all the shops. a little dated and in need of a few appliances and kitchenware. The owners are great and so quick to respond. This is my second year in a row staying we'll probably be back again soon.

Beach Getaway!
This property has well equipped kitchen, lovely backyard and a nice gas barbque. It is located in a nice quiet (most of the time) neighborhood. The "Rose Cottage" made for a GREAT week at the beach!

Amazing character and joy for 3 generations!
Wow, it is so refreshing to have the privilege of sharing someone's well-appointed family home rather than an investment holding with IKEA chic commodities. We found everything we could need readily on hand, from ample towels and spare linens to a nice selection of dishware to even a folding wagon and sand shovels for the kids. The walk to the beach is as close as nearby resorts, and town is delightfully fun to stroll. I was surprised how quiet the street felt only half a block from the main drag - sleeping on the porch with open windows was peaceful and pleasant. BBQ was brand new and we got to meet the owners next door to thank them. In town for a wedding and a wonderful Father's day weekend, we got beach time, delightful strolls to a bakery (Gayle's) and a brewery Sainte Adarius), played card and board games with grandkids and grandparents together and enjoyed a wonderful dinner on the patio. The warm water outdoor shower was a special treat which made returning from ocean play so much smoother. We already booked to return! Thank you!

The best beach weekend!
The rose cottage was perfect for us in every way. First of all, it is just so charming and lovely! For being close to town, it was very quiet and we all slept really well. The beds are high quality, the kitchen was stocked with ALL of the necessary equipment which is hard to find in weekend rentals. Communication with Denise was easy and made our stay stress-free. Can’t wait to go back!

Location, location, location!
This house is perfectly situated just a short walk from the village in Capitola. Such a perfect location. The house is small, but well appointed and had a nice deck out back that makes the space feel bigger. The only reason this didn't get five stars is that the bathrooms did not have bars of soap or shampoo and conditioner. We would definitely stay here again.

Very cute cottage close to everything
The cottage was the perfect location for exploring Capitola and the area. It was very quiet. The outdoor area is very nicely done although we couldn't enjoy it much as it was pretty cold(at least to those of us from Hawaii) after the sun went down- but it certainly added to the ambiance. I spoke to the owner over a plumbing issue(that was immediately fixed) and it was her grandmother's cottage- so obviously well loved and taken care . Recommended for a stay in Capitola!

The Pink House
Three doors down to downtown Capitola, an easy walk to avoid having to find parking. Landscaping was beautiful around the house and the patio was awesome with a round patio table to sit around. The decoration inside the house is eclectic for sure. A little less furniture would make it feel bigger. It had all the necessities you needed. TV had Spectrum though it was a bit slow with 2G, but it had lots of channels and movie selections. The beds were comfortable but the couch needs replacing or the pads redone because you sink down quite a ways when you sit on it. The kitchen sink water smelled like sulfur for most of our stay. It did clear up for the most part by the end of our stay. The weather was absolutely perfect!

Comfortable, cozy beach cottage
Wow, what a darling home in a great location! We stayed for 1 week while friends rented other houses in the village and we bounced from home to home throughout our stay. From the the decor to the bed linens to all the extra amenities (beach chairs, beach towels, stocked kitchen, bbq and more) everything was just perfect and made it easy just to show up and start having fun! We hope to make this an annual tradition!

Charming cottage near Capitola Beach and downtown shops!
This cottage was perfect for our girl's beach getaway! We loved everything from the location to the cozy decor. It sleeps 6 comfortably and having two bathrooms for all girls was a life saver! We cooked, played games and enjoyed the beautiful backyard which was filled with blooming roses. The shops and beach are steps away from the front door. The local shop owners are friendly and Capitola Beach is perfect for putting your toes in the sand and water. We decided we will make this an annual trip. We love "Rose Cottage" and can't wait to go back!
