The house was much nicer than we expected . It felt more like a family home than a rental , which was great for our family of three. The house has some board games, playing cards, and kids toys and books which were a great surprise . It kept my 20 month old busy when it rained outside .
The location is a 4 minute drive to Capitola beach and there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance . If you have a toddler I would recommend bringing a stroller . The residential street did not have sidewalks, so you will need to share the street with the cars.
We had to check in a bit later than expected , but Laurel quickly called us to let us know why and offered us wine or a late check out for the inconvenience . We declined, but she still dropped by with a gift card later in the week. It was a pleasant surprise . Shows the hosts cares about customer service and hospitality. We would definitely visit again .
