June 2024 rental review
Over all we loved the location and view! However there are some things that needs updating in the house! A new washer and dryer is a must, the set that is there both do not work very well at all! The downstairs bedrooms are very musty and have an ant issue! The master upstairs needs to have the carpet removed, it’s very old and filthy with stains and odor. The mattress needed to be replaced, not comfortable at all. I never received the key code, so we had to contact someone from the property management before we could enter the house! They answered quickly and were able to get in within 10mins.

Amazing Ocean View
We stayed at the property this past March with 7 adults. We picked the property specifically because my 87 yro mom wanted to see the ocean again. It was perfect for that. She uses a walker and was able to get around the property with ease. When it was too cold for her on the deck she was able to sit in the living room and watch for dolphins out the windows. We did see dolphins (porpoise?) once and lots of sea otters. Bring binoculars! Also saw a ton of surfers from deck. The upstairs master BR view was amazing. It is a steep climb up those stairs but worth it. My husband and I chose to stay in the studio since we both have knee issues. It was a little musty in studio as property had been empty for a while and there had been a lot of rain. We aired it out during the day when weather was nice and musty disappeared quickly. All of the bedrooms were comfy and the whole place is much prettier than the pictures suggest. There were some weird smells that we were afraid might be a gas leak so we called property manager and she came right over to check it out. Never figured out the smell and it didn't go away, but was just by front door, maybe skunk? We had a really great time exploring the neighborhood, We live in the desert so the surfer culture was fun for us to experience. There was no longer access to the small beach in photos, looked like storm has washed structures away? but the little beach but the cute beach 3 doors down totally made up for it.

Right ON THE OCEAN!
I can't stress enough the absolute stunning deck that is RIGHT AT THE OCEAN'S EDGE. My family and I can't believe what an amazing experience it was to stay here. We spent 4 days watching the sunrise and set, surfers, seals, dolphins, pelicans, sea birds, the changing tides... everything an ocean lover can imagine. We were hoping for a whale, maybe on our next visit! 😆 The house is so cute. It was clean and had everything we needed. The living room tv allowed us to catch the games on Sunday while still enjoying the view. Go Taylor's bf! The kitchen was great, but we ordered out for every meal. The capitola village is just a short 8 min drive to grab delicious dinners. We walked to the Point Market for breakfast burritos and sandwiches. We have stayed in the past at a nice hotel on 41st. This house is a huge upgrade and totally worth the price! I am already counting the days until we can book this property again!!

Right on the water
Nice property, no immediate beach access- though a very small beach was a few houses down. Parking was tight with three cars on busy street. Views and sunsets were breathtaking. Suggest more toilet paper/paper towels. We ran out. Rear stand alone room was musty and friend complained of mildew on light fixtures. Property in general was damp, but it was cold and wet during our whole stay. Beds were comfortable, master suite was very large. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

Perfect central location for day trips to San Francisco and Carmel. Great house for our needs. Could improve on stocking with few more essentials like paper towels, toilet paper and dryer wipes or fabric softener. This is important for a large group staying for a week.

Summer Vacation
Our stay was wonderful! The Home had everything that was needed for our stay and was spacious enough for our family of 7 adults and a toddler. It is easy and close to Capitola, The Boardwalk and great restaurants. The walk to the beach is very close and family friendly. The views from the home are spectacular. We could not have asked for a better vacation home.

Our family of 4 greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The ocean views from the main living area and primary bedroom are incredible. The home was clean and all the beds were comfortable. We appreciated being able to use the washer and dryers. The furniture/decor is dated but fine for the price point. My only request for improvement would be to leave a few Keurig pods or some ground coffee for the pot for those (like us) that arrive late.

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation and this house was a big part of that. The location was central to all the places we wanted to see, like San Francisco to the north and Monterey and Carmel to the south. We also have family in Los Gatos which was close as well. The house was clean and quiet and had everything we needed for our stay. And the view! There is nothing better than sitting on the deck watching surfers, wildlife, and sunsets. This was a vacation we will not forget!

Awesome property!
I grabbed a cup of coffee every morning , sat on the stunning deck, and listened to the pounding surf while watching seals, a whale and surfers frolic in the ocean. I was able to climb down to the beach one morning and walk the mile long beach. Too much ocean the other two mornings. Prepared dinner every night in well appointed kitchen. Great house! Awesome location! Do the short walk to Point Market for coffee and breakfast burrito!

Great beach front property
We rented this house for 4 nights in April 2022. The house location is right on the beach. Very close to boardwalk, warf, capitola. My only complaint about the property was the cleanliness was not perfect for the amount we were paying. And the driveway is very very short. A truck will not fit on the driveway and there’s no street parking. The stairs down to the beach are very fun! Great beach in front! Great neighborhood and location!
