Charmed in Capitola
Had a fabulous 3 days in Capitola! We loved walking in the neighborhood, strolling along the bluffs that overlook the ocean, and popping over to Santa Cruz. Seems like a surfer's paradise, and it's always fun to watch all the surfers. The house was perfect for 3 women, and the location was pretty great. The property manager was extremely responsive and offered to send someone over when one of the living room lights didn't work. Not a big deal at all, but we appreciated the offer. We also loved sitting in the backyard and lounging in the hot tub. I would highly recommend this place!

Central location
The property was in the perfect spot to visit Santa Cruz, Natural Bridges, Capitola, UCSC, and the Mystry Spot.
Easy check-in and out. Very clean. The couch was showing some wear but everthing else was great.
