It was only a couple of blocks and the apartment was beautifully appointed and comfortable. Communication with property manager was excellent. The sun deck was one of the dog and mine’s special spots."

Luxury beach retreat in Capitola Village

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (28)
"Great location and accommodations for 4 adult-sized people. We brought our queen-sized inflatable mattress for the younger 2, and found decent floor space for that. The bathroom/shower are separated from the vanity, so getting people showered and ready was easy. The location was amazing and within a couple minute walk to Capitola Beach, Zelda’s, Pizza My Heart, Margaritaville and Polar Bear Ice Cream! Good parking for 1 car too. I hope we’ll be back soon!"

"We'll definitely be back! It was such a great location and I wish we had more time there!It's so nice to have the State Parks pass to utilize while there! We didn't have time this trip to go to Manresa - maybe next time. Well stocked and sweet little spot. It may have been that it's off-season, but the hot tub was a bit green and not ready to go, which I would have enjoyed being able to use. Otherwise, perfect!"
