This is a dream rental. The Windmill house is probably the most iconic property in Capitola, located just a one-minute walk to the beach and right on the creek. The two homes on the property were perfect for a small family reunion. We loved the place so much that we spent far less time at the beach and in town than I anticipated, and more time just hanging out at the two houses and grounds. The highlight is the deck and boats on the water; they provided a 4-person paddle boat and canoe (be sure to ask ahead to make sure they have these...apparently the fire department has to put the paddle boat in the water for them every year).
We managed to comfortably fit 8 adults and a child, although fewer adults and more children would have been ideal. The homes are artfully remodeled. Some of the sleeping arrangement a bit quirky, but all the beds were very comfortable. Check out the description of the rooms and plan accordingly.
Rose was a fantastic host, replying to every request.
I would highly recommend this property. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it. We'll be back!
