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.

Perfect house in the perfect location

We stayed in the Capitola Cliff House for the Wharf to Wharf weekend 2023. It is in the perfect location, just steps away from the finish line of the race. The house is within a short walking distance of Capitola. So shopping and dining and Capitola Beach are within just a few blocks. The house itself is beautiful. The pics on VRBO don't do it justice. A very clean and stylish house. Obviously newly remodeled, everything felt new! There's a breathtaking 180 view of Capitola Beach, the pier, and the ocean, with the house having 3 separate decks to fully enjoy the view. Seriously gorgeous. Fantastic communication with the property management. Everything was as promised and ready when we arrived, and very easy clean up on departure day (especially compared to most VRBOs these days!). Highly recommend this property!

The house is spectacular!! However....

The house is truly spectacular! Amazing views, clean, incredible location. The house/owners deserve a 5 star review! However, the house is managed by a property management company (there will be some extra fees if you book) and we had an issue which was never addressed. We had 5 adults and I had emailed the company upon booking and asked if there was a door on the office/futon room. A simple reply "yes, there is". Upon arriving - no, there isn't. We immediately went to the hardware store & purchased a curtain rod & curtain. Not ideal, but somewhat a solution for needed privacy. I texted the PM Company - no reply. Upon leaving I texted them that I had left the rod & curtain in the garage for future renters - no reply. After our stay I emailed them and explained that I would rather not give less than a 5 star review for the house (which is what it deserved), but that I would have really appreciated a response, a reimbursement, or some acknowledgment of their error. No reply. And that was over a week ago. At this point I see no other action than to leave a less than perfect review. The house, though, is perfect.

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.
