Clean, well-provisioned, perfectly located (5 min. walk to beach/shops). Parking included is a big plus. Owner and host both pleasant/helpful. Check-in botched due to travel plans of host. Consider it a one-off. Refund given to compensate.

Absolutely Charming!

My friend and I were so pleased with this adorable cottage right on the river and with a view of the ocean waves. The bedroom was roomy with comfy bed. The pull down murphy was spacious and very comfortable. Capitola village was bursting with charm and the residents were fun and friendly. Manager is wonderful! I highly recommend this property.

Sweet spot

I loved this cabin! You couldn’t ask for a better location. Beautiful view of the river and beach, right in the village with a fun neighborhood vibe. The cabin is perfectly stocked, very comfortable and clean. Janet was easy to do business work and very accommodating. I’m a local and will definitely rent this cabin again. Very special.
