Fairfield Inn & Suites Santa Cruz - Capitola

Fairfield Inn & Suites Santa Cruz - Capitola

10/10 Excellent
"The entire property was very clean and welcoming. The General Manager, the receptionist at check in, and the servers in the breakfast mezzanine were all friendly and engaging. The breakfast was good and the area was well kept. There was coffee in the lobby every morning in case you didn’t want to go up to the breakfast room. We used the hot tub and it too was clean and at a good temperature. We will definitely stay here again."

"Ask about the size of the mini fridges since some of them are all not the same. The complimentary breakfast in underwhelming and not filling. Kpod makers at the hotel are convenient."

1940's Capitola Village Rental - steps from beach

1940's Capitola Village Rental - steps from beach

10/10 Excellent
"We had a good stay overall. Check in was easy, and communication with the host via email was clear and timely. Having a garage was a great feature for this location and a definite plus. The only downsides were the foot traffic (and noise) outside the home and the bedroom, which took away from the privacy of the stay. Overall, the home had some great conveniences, was charming and we appreciated the hosts communication and detailed instructions. We would 100% stay here again!"

The views were beautiful, and the property was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy everything Capitola has to offer.

10/10 Excellent
"Bridgeport Bungalow is charming. This is my 5th property stay in Capitola and first time in the river area. The property had plenty of rooms & bathrooms for my multigenerational family, ages 6 to 71. For this reason, and for the response time of the host, along with the private deck/patio area seating for all of us, I give 5 stars. Sharing a photo of the kids washing dishes in the kitchen."

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."
