Pink Venetian (Upper Unit)
Beautiful place right on the beach. Fully remodeled unit and very clean. Fully stocked kitchen. Our family had a great time staying at this unit. Already planning to come back in couple of months.

Oceanview Condo - StepstoBeach Surfboards\Bikes
Very good place, found quickly while on the road and couldn’t me any happier to arrive. The location was just as described and super thankful for the kitchen essentials. My partner said the bed was on the harder side but i found it just right so just maybe a preference. Thank u to the host for helping troubleshoot the lock but also thankful for their alternate solutions because technology isn’t always reliable.

180° Oceanview Condo-Surfboards-Bikes
I would recommend this place to my friends and family if you are looking to stay in a very cute beach town! You are smack dab in the middle of it all at capitola here. They have surf boards and a boogie board for you to use, we used the surf boards (I rented my wetsuit from ONeill for $10! Don't do the one that's accross the street for 36 if you're strapped for money and have a car just go to oniell!) The apartment was perfect and it comes with a cute backstory about the mom that bought the place many moons ago. The apartment also came with bikes but we love walking so much so we never used them! The beds we SO comfy too!

Luxury Villa - Flora View - Ground Level -Seascape

Booked this unit very last minute and could not believe what a great value it was for the location and condition of the unit! Amazing views and located right in the heart of Capitola Village! Evan, Airbnb host, was extremely responsive and allowed us to check-in a bit early which was nice because parking in downtown Capitola isn't always easy- but this unit has multiple parking options which was a HUGE plus! The unit itself was clean and was equipped with all the basics for an overnight stay. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking to getaway and want to be right across from the beach. The views from the unit were as described. Complex was quiet which allowed us to get a good night's rest. We will definitely be back! Thanks Evan!

Seascape Beach Resort condo with ocean view
Probably the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in in terms of being a clean, well stocked place. So many little details done right. Charging docks on all the night stands. A “did you forget anything” toiletry basket in the restroom. The well equipped kitchen and selection of coffee from Keurig to Nespresso. A lot of care was put into this home and it’s well worth the asking price. As far as location, proximity to the beach, and views - that is all self explanatory. I had an amazing time, and will certainly book again.

Pink Venetian (Lower Unit)
Excellent location. Exactly on the beach close enough to hear the tide coming in and out and the roar of the ocean. It is a basement unit and there was a very large family above us, But the children went to bed at about 9 and the noise never bothered us. There were only a few decaf pods of Nesspresso. So bring your own coffee or tea. I brought instant coffee for us. The kitchen is very cute, but of course basic which is fine. Yes, there is a lot of traffic outside of the window, but it didn’t bother me at all. There was a triathlon going on. It was a lifelong dream to stay in the Venetian court. It’s beautiful and historic. It’s expensive, but you are paying for the location and the historic element. My husband is well over 6 feet tall and he had a bit of discomfort with a low doorways and ceilings. We were able to walk back from Shadowbrook restaurant. We took their car service there. Overall, a dreamy place if you can afford it and remember to bring your own coffee.

Sunset and the beach at Seascape
We stayed at Kathleen's place with our 3 young children (including infant). The space was plenty spacious and felt large enough to accommodate all of us. Access to the pool area was easy - steps away from the unit which was nice for us because we're always forgetting something inside. The place was very clean and homey feeling, and. as other reviewers mentioned, the kitchen was well stocked, including coffee, and cooking essentials. All in all it was very comfortable and accommodating.

Pacific Breeze at La Selva Beach
Pacific Breeze was a fantastic place to stay, beautiful setting, comfortable accommodations, well equipped, very clean and excellent communication and response to our questions. Our family enjoyed every minute of our stay from comfortable beds, upgraded bathrooms, well appointed and clean kitchen to tasteful decor. Everything we wanted or could need was available and we felt welcomed and comfortable. The access to the beach was easy and the room stocked with beach necessities and extras was a huge bonus. Our family enjoyed every moment, made memories and will plan to return in the future. Sincerely, Cosette & Ethan Blanchard

Riverview Beach Bungalow
We loved our time here and wished we could have stayed longer. The location is so serene and peaceful, but just a short (beautiful!) walk to all of the action. The house is well stocked with everything you could need. Terri is a great communicator. We would highly recommend and hope to return!

Seascape Ocean Front Villa
Beautiful location, very clean and place was perfect for me and my family. Will be booking again

Cottage Creekside in the Redwoods
We had a wonderful stay! The space was clean and spacious, with clear check-in instructions that made everything super easy. It felt very family-friendly, which was perfect for our group. We also loved how close it was to great local restaurants, grocery stores, and fun activities in the area. Would definitely stay here again!

Seaside Sanctuary
Wish we could have stayed all summer! Could not ask for more in a beach front location! Had the best time walking the beach. Friendly people, safe neighborhood. They had everything we could think of needing. We really enjoyed ourselves here!

Oceanfront Beach House overlooking the Boardwalk
This house is absolutely perfect for a family trip to Santa Cruz. it had everything we needed and the location is unbeatable! The only thing I would change is there not being a large enough table for everyone to sit down for meals. Other than that, brilliant.

Beach House with Stunning Lake and Ocean Views
Great location near the beach, beautiful view of the lagoon. Big comfy beds.

Riverview Retreat Duplex-Captiola LOWER UNIT A
Beautiful location and beautiful home. Nice kitchen, living room, very spacious. The private parking spot was a fantastic bonus so close to the village.

Condo in Seascape Beach Resort
Our favorite part was the walk to the expansive beach. The resort is very nice, and the condo was great.

Seascape Resort Villa Beautiful Ocean View Sleep 6
We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

Beautiful Ocean View -Seascape Prime Location
David’s place was absolutely perfect. The views are amazing, the place is beautiful and well equipped, the walk to the beach is so pretty, hanging out at the beach was so fun, and everything about the seascape area was adorable. We came up to celebrate our son’s graduation and staying at David’s place was like icing on the cake. Our stay couldn’t have been better.
