We were really excited to stay at the hideaway but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. Upon arriving we realized that the listing is definitely not an accurate representation of the current state of the house. The carpets in both rooms are severely stained and hard to the touch in those places. The bathroom shower is mildewy and the whole house is much darker than the photos indicate. We were also surprised to find that the house needed a thorough cleaning and that things were left behind from previous guests. I did address this with Dore, he was responsive and assured me the issue would be resolved in the future. The area is small and cluttered so I wouldn't recommend for any more than 3 people (we stayed with our toddler). Positives are: the house is conveniently located to the beach and other areas of Capitola. It's also a short distance from the 1 which will take you to other parts of the Santa Cruz area. Unless Dore has made major improvements I would recommend taking your money elsewhere though.
