About this property

3 Bedroom Beach house, in the heart of downtown Capitola. Beach, shops, wine bars, and restaurants just steps away. Rent a surf board a few doors down, and walk 2 very short blocks to the beach! House is hip, comfy, and a great layout for families. Private, outdoor patio is perfect for entertaining, with comfortable lounge seating, a succulent garden, grill and dining table.

Newly remodeled kitchen is open to dining area and sunroom, creating a comfortable living space. Dining room table expands to seat 6-10. Sunroom has cozy, gas burning fireplace, and lounge seating facing the backyard. A perfect spot for morning coffee. Living room is at the opposite end of the house, with flat, screen TV and BluRay/DVD.
Two lovely bedrooms downstairs, charmingly furnished. Newly remodeled downstairs bathroom with full bath and shower.

The 3rd bedroom is upstairs, very large-- and, perfect for kids. It includes a 1/2 bath. Bunkbeds sleep 6. Twin mattresses on top, and Full mattresses on the bottom. There is also an additional 'play area' upstairs with a new full size futon. A flat screen TV and BluRay/DVD player are also located in the upstairs bedroom for in-bed movies!

Downstairs, beside the bathroom, you'll find a washer and dryer for your sandy clothes. And, our outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) is great for rinsing off, with plenty of room to hang wet suits and sandy towels.

This house is perfect for a family vacation, romantic getaway or girlfriends weekend. It has all the amenities you need for a comfortable vacation. House can accommodate 10, however it is more comfortable for 8 people (especially adults!). For that reason, there is an additional $50 charge per person, per night, over 8 people. PLEASE NOTE: If you see this listing on Craigslist, you are being scammed. I never advertise there.

Great location!

Great property, well stocked, upstairs loft was a hit with the kids and location to shops/restaurants was great! Parking isn’t ideal but that’s expected by the beach.

Slice of Heaven!!

My husband and I and our two teen sons stayed here as we traveled across the U.S. What a perfect location! The beds were comfortable. There was enough room for all of us to spread out. The main bathroom/laundry room was incredible! So much character, but yet also modern! We were close enough to walk to the beach and any little store you would like. And the people were so friendly! We all highly recommend staying here if in Capitola!

Perfect location in Capitola

There were six adults, we parked our cars and never used them for the rest of the stay. You are literally 1 block from downtown for shopping, restaurants and bars, and two blocks to the beach! The property manager was fantastic, we all said that we would stay again!! The backyard was a perfect gathering place for us as the weather was perfect, however the house itself offers good gathering spots too.

About the host

Hosted by Shannon Mastalir

We fell in love with Capitola the first time we visited.
It is such a wonderful beach town, the perfect mix of sun, sand, shopping and dining. Everything you need or want is steps away. Sometimes we visit, and never get in our car. Other times, we take the kids to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, to famous surf spots...or visit antique shops in Soquel! We think it's the perfect spot to get away for a romantic weekend, or to enjoy with family and friends!

Why they chose this property

We loved this house because we have 3 kids. The layout is perfect for families. The great big space upstairs is so much fun for slumber parties-- and we've had many.
The way the house is designed the kids can hang out, make noise and watch movies upstairs and adults can have their own peace and quiet downstairs! The living room is at the opposite end of the house for adult peace and quiet:) After a full day at the beach, we used to sit around the fire pit for hours, while the kids were upstairs with their friends eating popcorn and watching movies. Fun times!
