IDEAL LOCATION! Steps 2 Beach,Shops,Dining/Great Yard 4 BBQ

3 Bedroom Beach house, in the heart of downtown Capitola. Beach, shops, wine bars, and restaurants just steps away. Rent a surf board a few doors down, and walk 2 very short blocks to the beach! House is hip, comfy, and a great layout for families. Private, outdoor patio is perfect for entertaining, with comfortable lounge seating, a succulent garden, grill and dining table.

Newly remodeled kitchen is open to dining area and sunroom, creating a comfortable living space. Dining room table expands to seat 6-10. Sunroom has cozy, gas burning fireplace, and lounge seating facing the backyard. A perfect spot for morning coffee. Living room is at the opposite end of the house, with flat, screen TV and BluRay/DVD.
Two lovely bedrooms downstairs, charmingly furnished. Newly remodeled downstairs bathroom with full bath and shower.

The 3rd bedroom is upstairs, very large-- and, perfect for kids. It includes a 1/2 bath. Bunkbeds sleep 6. Twin mattresses on top, and Full mattresses on the bottom. There is also an additional 'play area' upstairs with a new full size futon. A flat screen TV and BluRay/DVD player are also located in the upstairs bedroom for in-bed movies!

Downstairs, beside the bathroom, you'll find a washer and dryer for your sandy clothes. And, our outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) is great for rinsing off, with plenty of room to hang wet suits and sandy towels.

This house is perfect for a family vacation, romantic getaway or girlfriends weekend. It has all the amenities you need for a comfortable vacation. House can accommodate 10, however it is more comfortable for 8 people (especially adults!). For that reason, there is an additional $50 charge per person, per night, over 8 people. PLEASE NOTE: If you see this listing on Craigslist, you are being scammed. I never advertise there.

Best Location!
We scheduled a "girls weekend" in Capitola. This home had the best location and was perfect for our needs. The location couldn't have been better. We parked once and walked everywhere....lots of restaurants and shopping within a block...and the beach was right there as well. The home was clean and had comfortable beds for all. We will definitely be back!

Great location!
Great property, well stocked, upstairs loft was a hit with the kids and location to shops/restaurants was great! Parking isn’t ideal but that’s expected by the beach.

Slice of Heaven!!
My husband and I and our two teen sons stayed here as we traveled across the U.S. What a perfect location! The beds were comfortable. There was enough room for all of us to spread out. The main bathroom/laundry room was incredible! So much character, but yet also modern! We were close enough to walk to the beach and any little store you would like. And the people were so friendly! We all highly recommend staying here if in Capitola!

Perfect location in Capitola
There were six adults, we parked our cars and never used them for the rest of the stay. You are literally 1 block from downtown for shopping, restaurants and bars, and two blocks to the beach! The property manager was fantastic, we all said that we would stay again!! The backyard was a perfect gathering place for us as the weather was perfect, however the house itself offers good gathering spots too.

Family Together for Wedding
This was a great place for our immediate extended family coming together for our daughter's wedding in Aptos. The space was very well laid out for us and grandparents to have bedrooms downstairs and the "kids" to have the space upstairs. Parking was a little bit tricky for 3 cars, mainly because we were coming & going with wedding events but not so much as to be a major problem. If we were coming just to enjoy family time and the beach (which maybe we will do next year) it would be no problem at all as the location is in the hub of town, very walkable. We enjoyed walking the two short blocks down to the beach after Friday night's rehearsal dinner and only wished there had been time for more of that. I look forward to renting this place again!
