Great property in an awesome location.

We used Capitola as our home base and got out every day to hike California State Parks. We would come back in the afternoon and enjoy a restaurant and walk around Capitola beaches.

I used to stay at this property decades ago by a different owner. They have completely redone the interior and is a wonderful place to stay.

We had a great time with our daughter and our dogs. The uniqueness of the property(it was two separate units) allowed us to ignore the failure of hot water on one side. It is not a quiet location but it made for an enjoyable trip.

Cute and centrally located

We had a great weekend in Capitola. The house--well two mini houses--had everything we needed for our short stay, along with lots of added character and charm. There were plenty of beds for our group of five (included two teens and one college student), and the living areas were just large enough to hang out and enjoy breakfast and a take-out dinner. The only drawback was the location of the two bathrooms, as we had to walk through sleeping quarters in the middle of the night in order to use them. No other complaints! Highly recommend!

Cute little relic.

I would have totally given this place 5 stars. The beds were old and uncomfortable and there wasn't a "list" of items that were damaged. I spent the first few taking pictures of damages we did not do. The rest of the the time I giggled about stepping back in time in this bungalow. It had everything we needed and the short walk to the village was awesome. It was perfect for my family.

Great! Enjoyed the privacy of the two separate units. It just wasn’t clear to me before check in that it also included the unit without the adress on it.

Great location, but that's about it.

If you want to be able to walk to town, have a dog, and have plans to be out of the unit a lot, this works just fine. It's also probably way better in summer. It's actually 2 small long bldgs with an open courtyard attached. One unit has 1 br, small Kitchen, and sitting room on street, while the other 2 are in the other unit. One on street side. So you run between the two a lot, and it's not very private. Both are freezing and have one floor unit heat but then space heaters are needed. All That said, if you have a family and are going to just stage there in summer, not cook etc, or drive much - it's fine. Just super pricey for the trade off of location and pet friendly.

Family vacation

We pulled into Santa Cruz a little early, so we messaged the manager to let them know we were here a little early and if we could check in. The manager got back to us, letting us know that the room will be ready in about 15 minutes. We ran into her on the way, and then she showed us where the heaters are in both sides of the house. I’m glad she was there or we wouldn’t have known about the other side of the house cause we kind of forgot. The space is perfect for multiple people or groups. One room has bunkbeds perfect for children two rooms have a full-size bed and the main house has one bedroom a living room in the kitchen. There’s two bathrooms, which makes it perfect for people with teenagers showers work great but the hot water is limited so take a fast shower. The place doesn’t come with its own parking spot, but we never had a problem finding parking the place comes with its own parking permit making parking a breeze. Margaritaville is right around the corner and walking to the beach takes less than five minutes. We were traveling with our dog. This place is pet friendly and right next to the places that my dog likes to potty. There isn’t much to critique the only thing I could say is that some people park so close that you have a hard time getting to the door over all the stay was a success. the whole family is happy.Many thanks to the manager for helping us out.
