"The pictures accurately reflect the property. The location was great. What we had problems with was the two set of stairs to the unit. Both my wife and I are in our mid-seventies and I have arthritic knees and Achilles tendonitis which made the stairs a minor challenge. Our dog is 12 and is small (14 pounds) and could not climb the stairs. This meant that we had to carry the dog while climbing the stairs. We had a good time but the unit did present some challenges."

"Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this home for 7 nights. The living area upstairs was comfortable, plenty of room for the family and guests. With the curtains drawn back the living, dining, and kitchen area was full of light. The open windows let in a breeze. The balcony offered a view and sounds of the ocean. There is a toilet/sink upstairs. The downstairs had all the bedrooms. The sitting are had a pull out couch with a TV. There was no TV upstairs which we really missed. The stairs between the floors were steep and plentiful but didn’t deter one of the visitors who is 95 yrs old. Residence was close to restaurants and the beach."

"Can I just move in?! The property is in the most ideal location. Very easy to walk to the beach and the beautiful downtown. We walked into the house and immediately felt like we were on vacation. It’s clean with quality furniture & a very comfortable bed. My daughter and her 3 friends enjoyed the downstairs 2 double beds. Claire was extremely responsive, provided snacks and a welcome note / wine. Capitola in general seems to have spotty WiFi. I had planned to work from the location but WiFi was spotty (this is not the home issue it was like this everywhere i went in downtown Capitola). Just wanted to note that in case people are looking to work from Capitola. Check out was so easy - we had the choice to clean up or leave all as is when we left. Claire was so great to work with i wanted to make sure we left the place as clean as possible. I will definitely book this place again. Oh I also brought my small dog and he enjoyed laying on the cool hardwood floor! Love this place!!"
