About this property

Welcome to the Wharf House, our home away from home, close to everything Capitola and Santa Cruz has to offer! You want to feel relaxed while on vacation and we have made an effort to make our home feel like a cozy and comfortable beach retreat!

We are a 30 day vacation rental. However, we are open to adjusting length of stay. Depending on length of stay, additional fees may apply. Contact us if interested!

The Space:
Our vaulted ceilings and open floor plan allow for plenty of room to stretch out. Recently updated back deck has become the most inviting spot to have meals, sip coffee or soak in the sunshine! A large BBQ situated by the outdoor dining table makes cooking up those yummy meals a breeze! As for the cooler evenings or foggy mornings, just flip on the gas fireplace and get cozy.

Location:
Amazing location! Shadowbrook restaurant is literally across the street! This is a staple restaurant of Capitola, founded in 1924 and known for its 'romance in dining'. If you're new to the area, this is an experience you must do! From happy hour to fine dining, it's a treat to be able to start or end your evening at this place.

We are situated just above the Capitola wharf for an easy downhill stroll to the heart of Capitola Village! Explore the unique boutiques, cafes, wine bars, water front dining or grab food to go (Pizza My Heart) as you head for a day at the beach!

For our summer fun schedule of concerts, movies on the beach, wine festival and much more, take a look here:

Ten Stars

We had a wonderful 2 1/2 month stay in this lovely home. As title says we would give 10 stars if available. Furnishings, bedding, linens all top grade. Very comfortable with the feel of family everywhere - loved the pictures Patio perfect for a drink in the late afternoon and the grill is first class. Manager Rose was always available for questions and requests. We loved the location and walked into the village, library and Nob Hill frequently - and we are 85 years old.

Fantastic stay in capitola

It was a wild winter this year and we are very sad at the loss of the pier. We were happy to have this great home for our stay again this year. Such a fantastic location.

Loved this place.

House was clean, spacious, well-equipped, comfortable, and walking distance to beach and Capitola Village. One improvement that could be made is to have a smart TV. House is on a somewhat busy street, but house was quiet inside with front windows closed and in the backyard.

Awesome home and location

My wife and I loved staying at this wonderful home in Capitola. Only a short walk to the village. A walk we took daily. Close to every convenience. The home has everything you would need. Great layout. Spacious back deck. We will miss the sounds of ocean.

Couldn't be better!

This is a lovely home - close to Capitola and the beach but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. It is large with 3 good-sized bedrooms plus two large baths. The kitchen & laundry room are also a normal "home" size as is the living space and backyard. Everything has been perfectly maintained and/or upgraded. You are just blocks away (but well insulated) from all the shopping you will need from Whole Foods to Target. You are also a short walk away from the beach, Cliff Drive, or Capitola town. Rose, the property manager, made everything very easy in terms of welcome and check-in. We had one small question that she answered immediately. I would put this home on the top of your list if you are considering a trip to the Santa Cruz/Capital area. We hope to return soon!
