Host was very communicative. The listing was accurate that it’s a quaint little cottage. I appreciated the fan since there’s no A/C. We enjoyed that it was mostly walking distance to the town, necessities, and the beach.
Perfect spot to spend a few days near the beach and Santa Cruz. Walking distance to beach, shops, and quick mountain getaways! Charming and cozy, would stay again.

Thank you Doug. We are so happy to see you had a great getaway! We look forward to welcoming you back. Best, Power West Properties
This place exceeded our expectations. The cottage itself was full of vintage, beachy charm and the location was really convenient. Everything you could want/ need in the village was a short walk away.

YAY! We are so happy to hear this Rebekah! We LOVE exceeding expectations! In fact, it is our goal to keep them realistic and then exceed them! We LOVE that you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for choosing us to host you! Best, Power West Properties
We had a great experience!! The short walk to the beach, shops, mini mart, made this a wonderful location. We were able to bring our pups which makes this a perfect family vacation. The property manager was very involved and communicated quickly if we had a question. Definitely recommended!!
It was outstanding, Sweet Cottage, steps to the Village and a short drive to Gayle’s and Shadowbrook. The only drawback was parking. No provisions for Handicap parking. Otherwise everything was perfect!

Thank you Sally, we love Gayle's & Shadowbrook too! So glad you had an outstanding stay. We apologize for any inconvenience with parking. There is one designated spot for the cottage-and parking is free in the lots and metered spots around the cottage with an ADA placard. We hope it was not too much trouble for you and hope to see you back again! Best, Power West Properties

Parking was a nightmare over the weekend. The heater didn’t work, luckily there was a space heater in the closet. Cute cottage, close to beach but packed in with a lot of small vacation rentals. Area is a bit noisy.
We had a fabulous stay at this gem in Capitola! Walking distance to downtown, beach, and trails. The cottage was clean and had all amenities you’ll need. The patio was perfect for an afternoon in the sun. We will definitely be back to stay again!

Nice location but needs to be cleaned better.
Quaint property in a very busy location. Enjoyed the closeness to downtown Capitola but there is drunken foot traffic late at night. Parking is definitely difficult and/or expensive. House was very cozy and comfortable.

Wonderful location
Parking difficulties. Oder inside not good had to spray and use a candle
Walking distance to everything in Capitola. Cottage was clean and check in easy. There is not a lot of privacy. The one bedroom had a shade and curtains. The futon is not very comfortable, but everything else was amazing! Fully stocked kitchen. Would stay here again!
