My family of four had an excellent vacation! Before booking, James was quick to respond to every question. Initially, I booked a weekend but needed to change to an entire week. James responded very fast and was able to accommodate my request. I had several little questions about parking, location, kitchen gadgets etc…he was always quick to answer any questions. As someone who experiences anxiety about travel, James put me at ease. This was our first vacation since 2019 and we were eager to get out and have some fully vaccinated fun. This cottage is located in the heart of Capitola village. The location can’t be beat - a 30 second walk to the sand! We could hear the waves from the lawn. The cottage is cute and modern with everything we needed. If you are patient, you will probably be able to find parking close to the house. Having the parking pass was nice because we didn’t need to move our vehicle. Capitola Village only allows for 2/3 hours. You do need to move the car every 72 hours. We left the village at least once each day and found parking upon return. On a busy Saturday, I would guess you may need to park in the upper beach parking lots but even that is not a horrible walk. The bed was comfortable as was the sofa sleeper. The cottage was also EXTREMELY clean and modern. We used the provided beach chairs to enjoy the beach. The kitchen is fully equipped and updated. If we come back to Capitola, we will try to book this cottage again. Thank you James for a wonderful stay!
