Top Potbelly Beach Hotel Reviews

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Will book again soon......."

Capitola Hotel

8/10 Good

"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."

Monarch Cove Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect — perfect welcome, perfect location, perfect amenities…and I could go on. We had called prior to our stay and told Lana that we were celebrating an 80 year birthday, the birthday girl had mobility issues and needed a handicap shower. She not only bought a shower chair, flowers and a birthday balloon, but changed our cabin to one that had easier access. The breakfast was devine. It was a fabulous experience in a very quaint and beautiful complex. Would love to return."

Classic Beach House - Walk to Seacliff Beach

10/10 Excellent

"LOVED the property…inside and out. Most of all, enjoyed the outside living spaces! House is clean and well equipped. Very comfortable bed. Great communication prior to my arrival made the whole process seamless. It’s an easy walk to the beach, however there’s a lot of stairs once you get there. A park pass is also provided so you can drive there as well. Watched a pod of dolphins playing at sunset one evening. Lots choices of where to dine. A stop for ice cream at Marianne’s is a must!"

Capitola Village Hideaway Bungalow - Pet friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Peaceful 2-bedroom Cottage in Capitola, Steps to the Beach. Pet Friendly.

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time and our host was very friendly and attentive. Would go again for sure"

Charming, Sunny Home!

10/10 Excellent

"This is one of our favorite places to stay in Aptos. The reverse floorplan gives you an open sunny kitchen/living room area and deck. Kitchen is very well stocked with cookware and everything you need to entertain. Downstairs bedrooms (2 adult rooms, one kid room) are roomy and comfortable with nice closets. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors friendly. We love this house. Our dog loved the deck. The beach! The beach stairs are very close and you are walking on the beach in moments. This year we saw whales in addition to dolphins and otters. Favorite places: Marianne's Ice Cream just a block away. Ambrosia Indian a few blocks away. We're addicted to Castelli's sandwiches. And, of course, Gayle's Bakery in Capitola."

Capitola Village Retreat with Garage!

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful! Provides a fun view of Capitola Avenue. When the trees light up along Capitola Avenue in the evenings it is magical."

Charming, light-filled home - walk to the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"We liked the binder with everything we needed to know and suggestions where to eat and places to visit close by."
