The house is really light and bright and welcoming. I had booked kind of at the last minute and was so thankful to have found this house, because it was high season (August).
The location is fantastic, just a short walk down to the main village in Capitola, which looks like something out of a movie about a quaint, seaside town.
It’s easy to get to Santa Cruz proper from this location.
The house is sparely but thoughtfully decorated and feels very warm and inviting.
Backyard is nice for hanging out.
The one thing to keep in mind, if you’re coming in the summer months and plan to spend a lot of time at the beach, is that there is no access to a washer/dryer, so you can’t just come home from the beach and throw everything in the laundry. I think this may be made clear in the listing, but I don’t remember. There is a laundromat in the village.
Overall, a really good stay, a very nice house, and a very attentive host. The internet was acting up and Marissa handled it right away.
Any time I had a question, she responded right away.
