Annual Girls Trip - Capitola Art and Wine Festival

I must of clicked on wrong property because it wasn't what I thought I had rented but the paperwork gave the address of what I had agreed to. It smelled musty. Floors were not clean. Glasses in cupboard were not clean. Bathroom setup was odd. Furniture setup in one room was odd. It was not what we are use to staying in when we go on vacation in Capitola. The location was great, perfect for going downtown. I will make sure next time that I pay attention to the pics of the place and amenities when I book next time.

The kitchen faucet was leaking, and this obviously was happening for a while as strong mold/mildew odor was coming front the cabinet. Had to endure the plumber working in the kitchen area for over 3 hours. Both beds had no Headboards, mattresses were simply thrown on top of a metal frame. The floor was dirty. Within 5 minutes the bottom of our feet were black. The photos on Vrbo are misleading as they present the place as open and airy. Walking down into a dungeon. The bathroom photo shows the bathroom as open and wide. It does not show a 32-inch door that leads into a very small and dingy bathroom. Photos are AI generated. Overall, I got the impression the owner feels renters are a bother/burdensome, to be treated below his social class. Kitchen wares, pots, pans and coffee cups are poor.The location is great and parking was very helpful. Management staff were very responsive and kind.

It suited our needs

This property is a cinder block home. It was located by my niece’s new shop that she recently opened, which was the reason we booked it. Although, I usually prefer to stay in homes on the river, the location was perfect and it was clean. There is a $141 “linen fee” & I was disappointed that the towels were such low quality.
