Was a great place to stay if you want to be right in the action in Capitola. We walked a couple blocks to the annual October fireworks which were amazing! Could use some refreshing but it's consistent with the condition of properties in that area. Lots of space, huge comfy sectional upstairs, we appreciated the ice maker, and off street parking was a huge bonus. FYI: TV upstairs is Roku (no cable) and the remote moves pretty slow. TV in main downstairs bedroom is cable only (no streaming) if that matters to you. Blinds in the 2nd bedroom have a couple slats broken, recommend replacing or even better, adding curtains since those windows face right out to the street. Good stay overall.

The location of the property was excellent and 2 parking spots was a major plus. There were plenty of amenities on the site that were helpful during our stay. We did have some challenges with the property. We did not receive check in instructions from the property manager as described and we had to reach out to VRBO to receive them. We arrived on the property and the space was not cleaned from the previous users - beds used and unmade, dishes not put away, etc. It took a bit to get in touch with the property manager to get it resolved, but they were very quick to address the situation and get a cleaning crew in there while we waiting. The disposal also did not work. The property manager was helpful when needed but would have liked to have not had to reach out in the first place.
