Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean cozy accommodation, had a relaxing stay."

Capitola Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love, love The Capitola Hotel! The staff, especially Julie, are awesome and always helpful, the rooms and property are always clean and welcoming. The Grand Cayman is our favorite room and paying for the garage parking is so worth the price! The location perfect, within walking distance of everything. If you’re a light sleeper, use the ear plugs, early mornings are very noisy with deliveries across the street and the street cleaning."

10 Steps to the Sand…Capitola Beach Front at the mouth of the Wharf-Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"This home was perfect for my family. We loved the close proximity to the beach and wharf. Parking was excellent and the home is stunning and immaculate. We will absolutely book again! Thank you!"

Capitola Dreaming, Beach Front Venetian #7 1/2

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at this beach house was truly special. Being right on the beachfront made for an unforgettable experience, and the home had everything we could possibly need. From beach chairs and an umbrella for relaxing by the water to an electric vacuum for quick tidying, every detail was thoughtfully considered. The kitchen was also exceptionally well stocked, with everything needed for cooking and even baking.The host was wonderful to work with. Communication was excellent from start to finish and when we had a small mishap during our stay, they were incredibly gracious and understanding, which made me feel completely at ease.One of the highlights was meeting the host’s niece on the beach. It was clear that this family takes great pride in their home and genuinely cares about their guests’ experience.The only thing to note is that parking can feel a little challenging at first, especially if you’re bringing more than one vehicle. However, once I got the rhythm of it, it almost became a game and was manageable.I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well equipped beachfront getaway in Capitola."
