Leonard is an amazing host! The location of the home is unbeatable! Nestled in Capitola Village and steps away from the beach, overlooking the kelp beds of Monterrey Bay. From the upstairs kitchen you can watch your kids on the beach as well as sea otters, seals and dolphins! Although in the center of everything, the home has a lot of privacy and access the beach from the upstairs and downstairs. The place is well socked with everything you would need in the kitchen for cooking/baking/serving as well as towels, sand toys, beach chairs, etc. Perfect for a big group, but private enough for a special get-away. This place is perfect for any social-distancing event during COVID: There are two distinct separate levels that can be closed off from each other with access to the outside from each. Each level has a bathroom or two and a kitchen or kitchenette. Two separate groups can still enjoy the home and meet out on the beach or the many outdoor cafes nearby. Two jacuzzi tubs were a big plus!
Leonard made our stay exceptional. My sister’s wedding was affected by the fires in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and Leonard was extremely accommodating helping us plan a group stay for two families last minute. This home saved my sister’s wedding and gave us all happy memories forever.
