Spring break 2025!

We had a great experience!! The short walk to the beach, shops, mini mart, made this a wonderful location. We were able to bring our pups which makes this a perfect family vacation. The property manager was very involved and communicated quickly if we had a question. Definitely recommended!!

Nice location but needs to be cleaned better.

Quaint property in a very busy location. Enjoyed the closeness to downtown Capitola but there is drunken foot traffic late at night. Parking is definitely difficult and/or expensive. House was very cozy and comfortable.

We had a fabulous stay at this gem in Capitola! Walking distance to downtown, beach, and trails. The cottage was clean and had all amenities you’ll need. The patio was perfect for an afternoon in the sun. We will definitely be back to stay again!

Great location and cute cottage

Walking distance to everything in Capitola. Cottage was clean and check in easy. There is not a lot of privacy. The one bedroom had a shade and curtains. The futon is not very comfortable, but everything else was amazing! Fully stocked kitchen. Would stay here again!

Perfect for our small group

We had 3 people for just a 2 night stay and found this the perfect location. The sleeping area is just the converted living space, so it has the feel of a big sleepover party. Would have been too cramped for more people or if we were spending more time just hanging out at the house, but for us it was perfect. We loved being walking distance to the village shops in Capitola. There is a lovely river walk path that goes down to the village and the beach. We enjoyed the local restaurants, arcade, and shopping, plus walking along the beach. This spot is also easy driving distance into Santa Cruz and other neighborhoods. The lack of a dedicated parking spot was occasionally inconvenient, but wouldn't deter us from booking again. Overall this is a great location for a small group who plans to be out and about most of the day.

Disappointed to say the least.

I’ll start with the positive: the location is unbeatable. Walking distance to capitola village, great path directly across the street along the river towards the beach, absolutely beautiful. The listing was advertised as a one bedroom, which it is not. They created a “bedroom” out of an alcove off the living room. This “bedroom” has curtains to create a separation of space, no wall/door so no real privacy. Our adult daughter ended up going to stay elsewhere because it was so small. The real issue we had though was that there was a foul sewage stench coming up from the kitchen drain making the kitchen completely unusable and seems like a health and safety concern. There was also a terrible ant infestation which again, made the kitchen unusable. The heater did not work. Piles of dog hair and crumbs on the floor from previous guests. When I wrote a message to the property management they were dismissive and unhelpful. I contacted vrbo and complained and they agreed with me that this all was unacceptable and refunded me their fees. I am still waiting to hear from the property management regarding compensation for the inconveniences. They did agree that they fell short and the property needs maintenance and cleaning. Steer clear of this place until they repair the plumbing problem and treat the ant infestation! Aside from these issues it seems like it could be a nice place. Just wish our concerns would have been taken seriously and addressed when we first reported them.

This place exceeded our expectations. The cottage itself was full of vintage, beachy charm and the location was really convenient. Everything you could want/ need in the village was a short walk away.

Parking was a nightmare over the weekend. The heater didn’t work, luckily there was a space heater in the closet. Cute cottage, close to beach but packed in with a lot of small vacation rentals. Area is a bit noisy.

No place like home

It was outstanding, Sweet Cottage, steps to the Village and a short drive to Gayle’s and Shadowbrook. The only drawback was parking. No provisions for Handicap parking. Otherwise everything was perfect!

Sweet cottage in perfect location

We absolutely loved staying at this cozy spot right in the heart of Capitola Village. It had everything we needed and fit our family of 3 + a pup perfectly. The host was super responsive and all went smoothly. The only drawback is that the hot water smells a bit when you first turn it on. Not sure how you would fix that though. We plan to stay here again!
