About this property

Vista Cortile - Unique Townhouse

Summary:
Vista Cortile. Luxurious townhouse one block from the sand of Capitola Beach!

The Space:
Walk to beautiful beaches and fall asleep listening to the sound of the surf.  Kick back and watch a movie or just relax in the comfortable living room. Cook sumptuous meals in the state-of-the-art kitchen that includes a gas range, side-by-side fridge, microwave, dishwasher and plenty of cabinet space.  Relax under the stars on the outdoor lounge chairs and don't miss the chance to have your morning coffee on the sunny patio - located one a block from Capitola Beach and in the HEART of beautiful Capitola Village!

One large main room features a cozy living room with a flat-screen TV, a well-equipped modern kitchen with stainless appliances, bar counter and a dining area. Two serene bedrooms, on with a king-size bed and one with two single beds, feature plush linens, stylish furniture, large closets and modern ceiling fans for a restful retreat. The bathrooms are inviting with modern fixtures and plenty of counter space. This quiet, relaxing space is perfect for a family vacation or a romantic getaway.

One parking pass for free parking around Capitola is provided.  An in-unit washer and dryer are available for guest use as well.

Capitola is a historic and atmospheric little coastal town with plenty of surf spots, boutique shops and a whole host of restaurants and entertainment outlets for young and old alike. The town is flourishing yet retains its distinctive and quaint character, beloved by families, dog-walkers and surfers!

Please note: there is a local neighbor that holds band practice in their home periodically.  It is infrequent but can be heard when they practice.  We have no control over that, but the City requires them to be quiet by 10pm.

There is so much to do here with access to amazing surf spots for beginners to advanced, wide open spaces for swimming, paths for long romantic walks and Capitola Beach for sand castle building and soaking up the sun.

Perfect Capitola beach home

We would definitely stay here again. We visited for three nights (Fri-Sun) in October (weekend, so the beach scene was busy, but not quite as intense as summer/high season). Steps to shops, restaurants, beach, surfing. Right in the middle of the Capitola bustle, but surprisingly quiet inside the home -- windows face onto a private courtyard. Large, modern, comfortable 2/2 home on second floor. Entrance on a shared, private courtyard with an outside shower -- handy for rinsing off sand and salt. A fair number of steepish steps to enter the home; be advised, if mobility is an issue. Inside is one level. Parking is a 1-car garage that is down a narrow alley. Getting in and out takes lots of backing and forthing; helps to have two people. Gets easier with practice. Prius fit fine; larger vehicle would be a challenge. A permit for street parking is provided, too. The garage is located a short, flat walk to the stairs to the unit, so unloading is easy. Inside the garage are beach chairs, an umbrella and a sand wagon. Interior laundry room is a nice bonus. Great range of TV options, including Apple TV. If pushed to find any shortcomings, it would be that there are a lot of paint chips in the wall plaster that need repair. An off note in this otherwise well-appointed home.

Capitola GetAway

We had an amazing time in Capitola. The place was exactly as stated. We only had a little problem finding the best way to get to the garage which was a tight fit but perfect as once we parked, we were able to walk everywhere. Also, the owner kindly offers a street parking pass which was awesome if you had two cars. The place was roomy, clean and so comfortable. The owners were so quick to answer any questions. It’s rare to have the place exceed your expectations but this did. Can’t wait to go back. Perfect for a girls’ trip.

Wonderful stay in Capitola

This is a very nice home in the heart of Capitola. The location is perfect - easy walk to beach, shops, and restaurants. The house is very spacious, clean and comfortable and provided everything that we needed. The garage is basically un-usable for parking due to the size and angle at which you need to drive into it, but we were always able to find street parking close by. The only improvement I would strongly suggest is new twin mattresses in the first bedroom. They are very creaky/squeaky with every movement and made sleeping difficult for my kids. Otherwise this is the perfect place to stay in Capitola!

The photos don't do it justice

This is a very very nice apartment. Much nicer than the photos reveal. We enjoyed staying here and would recommend to anyone. Minor points: the garage is VERY small, but the company provides a parking pass for the street in front (don't park on the Main Street with it though, that is not permitted with the permit). Really could use some blackout blinds. Not sure why places don't have them as standard. Besides these two points we loved the place, one block to the beach and restaurants and Capitola is very cute and quaint. We has A LOT of fun and will be back!!

Best Location in Capitola

The condo is right off of the main street and less than a block from the beach. But you are tucked away so when you are inside or enjoying the great deck area, you have all the peace and quiet you could want. We spent a day in Santa Cruz which was fun but we could have just as easliy stayed in town and enjoyed the beach and restaurants. It is very easy walking distance to everything and never needed our car in town.

Great location

Amazing location close to the beach and surf. Property manager was very accommodating to our specific situation. The rental was clean and had everything we needed. So many restaurants and shops within walking distance. There was also a small garage that came with the unit and parking pass to park on the street. Would love to come back in the future.

The place was nice, clean and great location. There is a band that practices right next door nightly until 10ish. There is also construction next door. Ask about the construction before booking and just be ready for some loud music at times.

Wonderful home with a lovely location!

My husband and two boys came here during the week for a last minute get-away. Everything in this rental was exactly as advertised. The unit was clean, spacious and large enough where we didn't feel like we were on top of one another. The location was more than ideal. My husband and I usually stay closer to the village, but this was only two blocks away from the beach and a block from the heart of the village. We did not use our car once and the unit was SO QUIET at night and early morning; it was AMAZING. I needed some assistance with the wifi password and the manager/owner was quick to help me out with that. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back to this specific unit once again. Thank you for a wonderful memory.
