If u are staying the whole time in Capitola it’s awesome. Great location, all up in restaurant row. View off deck is amazing for the price. Its clean and as pictured. Loved sitting on the beach with provided beach chairs. But but but- if you are planning on arriving Friday, Saturday good luck. It took us 3 hours to find a parking spot. The place comes with a parking pass but your still competing with everyone else. You just don’t have to pay. We had plans to explore all weekend but we were forced to stay due to not being able to move the car. You will spend the entire weekend finding parking if you move your car. I also believe the condo is better for a younger couple or someone who loves the night life. The restaurants are so loud and go till 11 or later and the coffee shop starts at 5am. So you aren’t sleeping! Also not having comfortable seating was an issue for us. All of this is a personal preference and my review is geared to the couple looking to relax, watch a movie and have parking available so they can explorer. The place is great for what it offers.
