Located in Capitola, just south of Santa Cruz, Luke’s AirBnB was a peaceful getaway from our home in SoCal. The place was a nice, clean, smaller, early 20th bungalow with two full-sized bedrooms with a comfortable Queen bed in each and a shared full bathroom (in the smaller side) in-between, and shared by both bedrooms. The living area had a nice sectional sofa (which could double as a bed for kids, if needed), and a TV (which has a Roku attached with all that Roku carries). Since this AirBnB is in NorCal, the heater did kick in once and while, when the temp dropped below our 68 Deg. F. setting. There is a dining room with a table that comfortably seats four, and could seat six in a pinch. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities (Keurig, coffee pods, full-sized fridge, full-sized stove, large microwave, all eating/cooking utensils, pots/pans, and dinner/glassware).
The property sits on a quiet street about seven minutes inland from the Capitola strand/beach by car (note parking there is tight, so be prepared to walk a few hilly blocks to get to the strand), and about 15-20 minutes (depending on traffic) from Central Santa Cruz via Highway 1. It’s also about 20 minutes from the Redwoods near Felton via Highway 9 (a stunning drive –two lane winding highway— and a great place to hike). Note: there is back house where the owner lives, but the AirBnB was well-separated, giving us pretty good privacy, and run of the small front yard and front porch. There is a small drive-way with enough room for one average sedan (big trucks/RVs will hang out into the street).
A big plus for our five day stay, there is a Whole Foods market within 7-8 walking distance, and a few take-out food places along the main drag.
Luke was a great host, communicated well and was very friendly.
All in all a nice stay, allowing us to decompress in a quiet, clean, conveniently located AirBnB in Capitola.
