We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful beach house! The home was clean, decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The ocean views were absolutely breathtaking, and we loved waking up to the sound of the waves each morning. The location was perfect — quiet, yet close to great restaurants and shops

Location, location, location! Not only was this a perfect little home with wonderful decor, but its location couldn't have been better. We reserved the home for a short girl's weekend and it was the best weekend. The beach house couldn't be cuter, was well equipped, clean and so easy to check in and check out. We'll be back - for longer this time!

House was in pristine condition and amazingly located. So convenient to town and easy to get to the beach. The stairway above the house is out of order, but the walk down to the beach is very quick and pleasant.Beautiful rooms. One large master sized room with a couple of small patios, one with furniture. Another medium size bedroom and a third small bedroom all with very nice beds.Kitchen was lovely and the layout allowed us to be connected to the ocean pretty much all the time. Would rent this place again and spend more time hanging around the house. We were busy around nearby towns and didn’t get to just relax which this place is so good for.

A gem of a property

Capitola Cliff House is a charming home, nestled right on the shore, just a short distance to the pier. The home is well appointed, clean and has amazing outdoor spaces to enjoy the bay and watch the seals and birds. There are two balconies, one off of the master and one off of the great room. In addition, there is a lovely spot down below with a fire pit and lounge chairs which is perfect for a glass of wine under the stars. You are also right in town so unless you want to drive, everything is just a short walk away. Definitely recommend a visit.
