Capitola Beach Haven

Summary:
The Capitola Beach Haven - Charming Beach Cottage with Private Patio - Perfect for families with dogs!

The Space:
Welcome to The Capitola Beach Haven, our charming beach cottage nestled in the heart of Capitola, California. Located within walking distance of the beach, a variety of bars, restaurants, and shopping outlets, our property puts you right in the middle of all the action.

The Capitola Beach Haven is conveniently split into two units, making it perfect for families who appreciate both togetherness and privacy. The left unit features a cozy living area, a comfortable bedroom, a well-equipped kitchen, and a full bathroom with a shower. The right unit includes two bedrooms - one with a bunk bed - a room with a double bed, and another full bathroom with a shower. There is also a daybed in the common area which makes it possible to sleep the 7th guest. This unique setup allows you to walk through each room in a line to the back of the unit, providing a cozy, homey feeling. Please note that the bathrooms are equipped with showers only; there are no bath tubs available. There is no washer or dryer on the property.

Please note: there is only one parking pass provided for this unit. There is no free village parking for a second car.

After a day of beach fun or exploring Capitola's vibrant streets, come back to unwind on our private patio nestled between the two units. Outfitted with comfortable outdoor furniture, a gas BBQ, and delightful bistro lights, it's the perfect place for a relaxing evening under the stars.

Experience the magic of beach living with the unique comfort of having your own private space. The Capitola Beach Haven offers the best of both worlds – a tranquil beach retreat, just steps away from Capitola's vibrant town life. It’s time for you to come and see for yourself!

Other things to note:

- This neighborhood is very lively and located in downtown Capitola Village, so there is some traffic noise throughout the day and occasionally at night.

- There is no on site parking, however we do provide a parking permit and a map to the permitted spaces.

- We have landscapers, pest service, and other property maintenance done on a weekly basis. You may see or hear these service professionals during your stay as they let themselves into the backyard to service as needed. Please be sure to ask about this before booking if you think it might be an issue for you.

- TV is a smart tv with streaming capabilities. There are no cable or local channels.

- We are required to stick to our cancellation policy and we suggest adding trip insurance for any last minute issues that may impact your travel (Weather, Illness, etc). We are not able to cancel, move or refund bookings that do not fall in our cancellation policy for any reason.

Great location, but that's about it.
If you want to be able to walk to town, have a dog, and have plans to be out of the unit a lot, this works just fine. It's also probably way better in summer. It's actually 2 small long bldgs with an open courtyard attached. One unit has 1 br, small Kitchen, and sitting room on street, while the other 2 are in the other unit. One on street side. So you run between the two a lot, and it's not very private. Both are freezing and have one floor unit heat but then space heaters are needed. All That said, if you have a family and are going to just stage there in summer, not cook etc, or drive much - it's fine. Just super pricey for the trade off of location and pet friendly.

This was a good place to stay clean and comfortable. Day bed was very uncomfortable but the beds were good.

Cute and centrally located
We had a great weekend in Capitola. The house--well two mini houses--had everything we needed for our short stay, along with lots of added character and charm. There were plenty of beds for our group of five (included two teens and one college student), and the living areas were just large enough to hang out and enjoy breakfast and a take-out dinner. The only drawback was the location of the two bathrooms, as we had to walk through sleeping quarters in the middle of the night in order to use them. No other complaints! Highly recommend!

Cute little relic.
I would have totally given this place 5 stars. The beds were old and uncomfortable and there wasn't a "list" of items that were damaged. I spent the first few taking pictures of damages we did not do. The rest of the the time I giggled about stepping back in time in this bungalow. It had everything we needed and the short walk to the village was awesome. It was perfect for my family.

We had a great time with our daughter and our dogs. The uniqueness of the property(it was two separate units) allowed us to ignore the failure of hot water on one side. It is not a quiet location but it made for an enjoyable trip.

I used to stay at this property decades ago by a different owner. They have completely redone the interior and is a wonderful place to stay.
