Great stay!

Place was easy to find, easy to enter and roomier and brighter than the pictures. We were very comfortable, well supplied and perfect for our group. Accessible to many shops and beaches. It was a great stay and would stay again.

Great House Near the Beach

We had a wonderful stay at this cute house. It was by far one of the cleanest rentals I've stayed in. The location was perfect--walking distance to Capitola Beach and lots of restaurants and stores near by. Shari and Al were wonderful hosts--gave us lots of helpful information and tips. When they found out we were planning on spending the afternoon at the Beach Boardwalk prior to checking in, they offered to let us drop off our luggage for safe store. We would definitely love to return in the future. Thanks Shari and Al!

The best stay in Capitola

We had the most wonderful vacation at Shari's house in Capitola. The house was beautiful, comfortable and fully equipped with all the equipment we needed, including all the beach toys and equipment. We loved the location as well - so close to Capitola beach and shops. It was also a close distance to a nearby park, and to many shops and grocery stores. Communication was great - Shari always responded promptly and helped us with whatever we needed. We will definitely come back to Shari and Al's house if they would have us again! :)

Great Property

I did not travel to this home. The rental was occupied by 3-4 workers for a little over 2 months. Both the home and the owners are great. Communication with the owners could not have been better. We actually needed to extend, not once but twice, and were accommodated. Everything listed was just as listed. I would absolutely stay at this listing again if we were in the area and would recommend that others do the same. Thank You Shari for a great stay !

Capitola beach house

Cute house that was great for me and my extended family. The den was a perfect place for the kids to sleep. House was equip with all of our needs and there was a gracious amount of towels for showering each day. The master bed is not ever comfortable and there is just 1 TV in the house. At night kids wanted to play video games and adults wanted movies. It would have been nice to do both. In any event will liked the place and found owner to be very nice and responsive.

What a wonderful stay!

We had an absolutely wonderful 2.5 week stay at Shari’s. Above and beyond our expectations and our son is already talking about going back to the “avocado house” ASAP. Really great location near amenities and still quiet. Capitola has a wonderful feel, we fell in love with it. We found it helpful to have a car but not needed. Lots of great restaurants and eateries nearby plus of course awesome beach!! The house was above and beyond and had everything we could have hoped for. A great time overall.

Close to the Beach and everything!

We very much enjoyed our stay, we were amazed at how close everything was around us. I enjoyed walking, so the distance made it nice to be able to walk around everywhere, even the beach! The house was very cute, it fit all of us that were there and we felt very relaxed and at home.

Lovely home in a great location

We had a great time at Shari's place. The location was in a perfect location to so many things. We walked to the beach and were a short drive to the aquarium in Monterrey and hiking in the redwoods as well. Check in was easy and Shari was very helpful very available. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious, and we enjoyed the lovely deck and bbq grill too. I would 100% recommend staying here!

Really as good as others say!

Neighbors were great, parking was easy. Layout is a bit odd but it all worked. Front room is sort of orphaned and back area could be tight if you had 8, we had 5 adults and even had some friends over for lunch on back deck. So happy there and loved the town too

We enjoyed our stay so much. Shari's beautiful home went above and beyond our expectations. Everything we needed or wanted was available and easy to find. It was our first VRBO experience and after reading reviews of other homes, this stay will be hard to top. We would love to make it an annual trip and stay here every year .

Wonderful house with perfect location!

Just a quick walk to Capitola beach and shopping as well as walking distance to Whole Foods and more. Perfect location and the home as everything you need including a great backyard with a gas grill and plenty of fun beach supplies in the garage. Communication was fantastic although we didn’t need anything because everything worked great and was easy to find. We highly recommend this home for a beach vacation!

Great House!

This house is almost perfect! Lovely and comfortable, super quiet neighborhood. Three great bedrooms, with comfortable beds! spacious living room, and kitchen. The table was a nice size for games and family dinners. We did not feel crowded with 6 people, We also were able to enjoy the lovely back yard and BBQ. Everything was clean and nice.

Great Downstairs Bedroom for Older or Disabled People

One of the great things about this house is that is has a downstairs bedroom. My grandparents joined us on this trip and they appreciated not having to go up and down the stairs.

Clean and Great Location

Very easy check in, good communication with Shari., house was very clean and worked out really well for our family. The 1/4 bathroom on the first floor was helpful. Location was excellent, great access to downtown Capitola, the beach, restaurants all within walking distance., although hill coming back but definitely manageable and nothing Shari can do about it. Also, good location with easy access to Whole Foods CVS etc. and if needed to drive any where was very easy. Probably list a few more amenities available at the house i.e. hair dryer; beach chairs/towels, umbrella. Overall great stay and would like to return.

Good location for Santa Cruz riding

Only 15-20 minutes from good breweries (Humble Sea and Sante Adairius), good food stops, and riding (Demo Forest, Fort Ord Monterrey, trails near UCSC). Backyard has a gigantic avocado tree. Inside there are 3 bedrooms with beds, a pull out couch, and TV with internet access. Owner was very responsive and helpful.
