The house is spectacular!! However....
The house is truly spectacular! Amazing views, clean, incredible location. The house/owners deserve a 5 star review! However, the house is managed by a property management company (there will be some extra fees if you book) and we had an issue which was never addressed. We had 5 adults and I had emailed the company upon booking and asked if there was a door on the office/futon room. A simple reply "yes, there is". Upon arriving - no, there isn't. We immediately went to the hardware store & purchased a curtain rod & curtain. Not ideal, but somewhat a solution for needed privacy. I texted the PM Company - no reply. Upon leaving I texted them that I had left the rod & curtain in the garage for future renters - no reply. After our stay I emailed them and explained that I would rather not give less than a 5 star review for the house (which is what it deserved), but that I would have really appreciated a response, a reimbursement, or some acknowledgment of their error. No reply. And that was over a week ago. At this point I see no other action than to leave a less than perfect review. The house, though, is perfect.

Perfect house in the perfect location
We stayed in the Capitola Cliff House for the Wharf to Wharf weekend 2023. It is in the perfect location, just steps away from the finish line of the race. The house is within a short walking distance of Capitola. So shopping and dining and Capitola Beach are within just a few blocks. The house itself is beautiful. The pics on VRBO don't do it justice. A very clean and stylish house. Obviously newly remodeled, everything felt new! There's a breathtaking 180 view of Capitola Beach, the pier, and the ocean, with the house having 3 separate decks to fully enjoy the view. Seriously gorgeous. Fantastic communication with the property management. Everything was as promised and ready when we arrived, and very easy clean up on departure day (especially compared to most VRBOs these days!). Highly recommend this property!

Lovely home, clean, modern. Excellent views. Detailed instructions to gain entry to home sent a day before stay. Easy access to beach, walking distance to shops, restaurants. Home has necessities for at home cooking, pots, pans etc for comfortable stay even vase for store bought flowers. Minor issue with outside access pad which we communicated with property management and received immediate text response and they sent someone to fix within a couple of hours. Enjoyed the finer details of the house. Over all, our group had an wonderful stay.

summer vacation home stay
The property itself lived up to its description. It is within close proximity to the beach, and a very easy walk to downtown with all the shops and restaurants. We were disappointed however , when it came time to relax and have drinks that the ice maker was broken . The refrigerator also had a distinct fish odor .When I contacted the property management company and alerted them to the problem and asked for a bag of ice they responded that they were aware that the ice maker was broken and that a part had been ordered and sorry for the inconvenience. They offered to bring another box of baking soda for the fish odor but no ice or ice trays. There was a box of baking soda already in the refrigerator so another box was unnecessary. For the amount of money we paid to stay at this property you would think they could have brought us or had in the freezer a bag ice or a ice tray since they were already aware that the problem existed before we even arrived.. We had to take time out of our vacation to locate a store to pick up ice . Their response was disappointing and did not solve our ice problem. Overall the property was in good shape although the outside deck /glass area off the living room could use some cleaning since the overhead sea gulls have made their mark on it and Various spider webs needed to be cleaned up . The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances were relatively new . I was surprised there were little or no wrap or foil, plastic zip lock bags or even garbage bags available . None were in the kitchen or in the garage storage area as listed. If these negative things that happened would have been different or the property management response to us was different, I would have given the rental experience a 5 star rating . The home is nicely decorated and clean . Overall we enjoy our stay and Capitola. Thanks for sharing your lovely home .

The property was exactly as pictured, very clean and nice amenities. Booking was an easy process and the management company sends you a link with all the check in information and other info. It was lovely to listen to waves crashing at night, beautiful views. Street had pretty heavy traffic but overall a great location. Would recommend.

Incredible place to stay! We were here with our toddler and we had a great time walking to the beach and around Capitola. We didn't get in our car once. The house felt very high end and comfortable, the views were incredible, and everything you'd need is within walking distance. It almost felt like we were at a resort without the trappings. Would definitely come back.
