There were 7 towels for 8 adult people so we had to purchase more immediately. Parking was difficult. The 4th bedroom was so tiny & inside of another room that shared a bathroom with another bedroom. It is not really a 4th bedroom.

No beach access the only disappointment-wonderful home

We had a wonderful vacation with our granddaughters. One of our granddaughters stayed in the room that was connected to her mother's so that worked for us. We appreciated the beautiful views and the well appointed kitchen.

Absolutely Perfect

Beach house was a perfect place for me and my sisters. We had reminiscing to do. The patio and hot tub were the perfect settings. House was roomy. Bedrooms were clean. We loved watching people and their dogs run the beach. It was a memorable time for us.

Decent option for beach facing house.

Good location, house has basic necessities, but showing its age. No shampoo or laundry detergent. Parking sufficient. Beach access currently difficult as lake has grown to block path to beach, need to walk around to 26th stairs.

Beach House

A wonderful week of cloudless skies and beautiful sunsets. Plenty of sea life on the rocks at low tide. Bike path all the way to Capitola Village to the south and Natural Bridges to the north. Best part is just sitting on the deck and going no where.

Great beach house!

The view and the beach are fantastic. The third bedroom upstairs is as some have described, very small with a funky high bed but perfectly fine for sleeping -- good for a set of older kids or a couple without kids. Manager says the hot tub is coming soon, and that would be a great addition to the property. Only thing that would improve this rental is the ability to check out later -- being out by 10:30 am is rough.

In a pinch

After rental issues, our host was quick to help! The view from the house was amazing and we were just steps from the beach. The house was equipped with the necessities. We had a party of 10, the sleeping arrangements were tight but manageable. We would stay again without question.

Enjoyable Vacation

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time. The house was reasonably within walking distance to the beach, which is awesome and the kids loved it. Also very close to all attractions. The house is in some need of small repairs though. Also a picture of the "4th bedroom" should be included. It isn't any bigger than the bed and small dresser (literally). This is great for kids but if we needed this for adults, it would not have worked. Overall experience - Great

Fun at the Beach

The property was ,over all, in good shape. The carpet in the dinning area needs to be cleaned, batteries need to be placed in kitchen garbage can and small fencing around driveway needs to be redone Also, the dinning chairs need to be recovered. The manager, Tara, was a pleasure to work with! She was very helpful with our pre visit questions but, once we got there we never had to consult with her because the house was in great shape. Would enjoy working with her again.

A pleasant stay but for hot tub

We wanted to rent an ocean view property and we loved that we could hear ocean waves all the time from any room, the house was gorgeous to live in, but we really also rented this property over a few other options as it also had hot tub. The only thing that put us off was hot tub was reallly old and only had lukewarm water..never hot. The owner was kind enough to send the maintenance guy over while we were there, but that didnt help. we wish we knew of this issue before hand, we would have defi chosen another property from our options. but other than that, we had a wonderful stay and the house was very well taken care of.

Great location to beach and downtown Capitola

This house is right on the Santa Maria beach access. The beach expands to 26th ave beach which is great for surfer. This family vacation in this house was great for all of us from teenagers to seniors. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook since we cooked every meals including rice cooker, slow cooker, and huge pots. The master bedroom was spacious and futon bed was very useful. Three bedrooms upstair are nicely remodeled and have great view of ocean. There was no extra bedsheets for rooms. The fitted sheet on my bedroom had a red stain, but no extra sheet to replace. Also there is no extra blankets. I think this house is good for maximum 8 people. It would be nicer if they have one sofa bed in the livingroom. My family live pretty close to Santa Cruz, so we brought extra mattresses and blankets for our teenagers. There are lots of beach towels and the shower outside house was really good after swimming at the beach Also hot tub was great!
