We have rented Capitola #8 for 30 years. We have an annual family reunion where we rent 4 or 5 places. #8 is always the headquarters because of the location. Our hosts are super easy to work with and the cabin itself exceeds our needs. We will continue to enjoy the cabin and Capitola in Venetian for many years to come.

Convenient location, I have never left a place anything but clean treating our stays even better than home. That being said there was a strong musty smell when we arrived. Would be nice to crack some windows prior to someone staying to avoid that being the first impression. The expectation to bring our own sheets and vacuuming before leaving, (even though place was kept clean) I have very mixed feelings about. All in all place is cute and we love Capitola and had a nice visit.

Location, location, location! We have rented several unique properties in the area over the years, and this one was truly a gem for our family. We have three teenagers, and they were able to safely explore the area together, walk to get ice cream, and visit the arcade just five minutes from the rental. The proximity to the beach also cannot be overstated, it made for an incredibly relaxing week.Because we live only about two hours north, driving made it easy to bring our own sheets and towels. After purchasing new sheets specifically for our stay, I couldn't help but feel a little bad thinking about how many guests likely do the same, then donate or throw them away because they don't fit the beds in their own homes (we donated 2 out of the 3 sets). It just doesn't feel like the most sustainable approach. Other than that minor detail, we had a wonderful experience and would happily stay here again.
