Short Walk to Seacliff
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (26)
"The home is in a nice location with easy access to most things. The furnishings were nice and the beds comfortable. The home itself could have been better cleaned. Additionally, there was no bar soap, shampoo or coffee. Upon rereading the listing, I realized they were not listed in the amenities, so that’s on me. I’ve just never stayed where these (at least soap & shampoo) wasn’t provided. One last mention is if you are getting to the house by gps be sure to note if it is street or road. We...

COLORFUL HISTORIC VENETIAN COURT #8 ON CAPITOLA BEACH
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (67)
"The location was perfect, especially when you have grandkids that wake up at 7am asking to go to the beach, it was easy being only steps away. The first floor ceiling is low with a beam that runs across making it hard on tall people and the stairway to the second floor is tricky but overall the place was great!"

Palisades Cottage Sum
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (46)
"My friends and I had a great time celebrating our birthdays at the Palisades Cottage. I think the pictures don't do it justice. It's spacious, but cozy, and the backyard was a great space to hang out and grill up some dinner. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to beach, and some good bird watching, too! Very pleasant stay overall."

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"Property was clean, modern, and obviously was impeccably maintained, and everything works. The beds in the master and one of the bedrooms are comfortable and firm, but not hard. The area is very quiet, just how we like it. The owner accepted our senior cat (20 years old) into the home with us. We are thankful. The owner sets this property up very well: check-in was supery easy, communication was a breeze. The fact that everything was smooth from beginning to end points to the thoughtfulness...

Twin Lakes Beachfront w/ Amazing Sunset & Light house Views!!
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (41)
"We had a great stay and the location was perfect. We unfortunately were there for my dad’s memorial, but the view from the living room windows showed us all his favorite spots. It’s like he was there with us. The house was clean and very comfortable. The only minor “issue” was there were lots of horseflies when we got inside the first day, other than that it was a good stay."
