Capitola Hotel

8/10 Good

1940's Capitola Village Rental - steps from beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a good stay overall. Check in was easy, and communication with the host via email was clear and timely. Having a garage was a great feature for this location and a definite plus. The only downsides were the foot traffic (and noise) outside the home and the bedroom, which took away from the privacy of the stay. Overall, the home had some great conveniences, was charming and we appreciated the hosts communication and detailed instructions. We would 100% stay here again!"
