"We loved this property. We have stayed in hundreds of vrbos and this is one of our favorites. It is beautiful, comfortable and one of the best well stocked places we have stayed. It is peaceful and quiet yet close to so many things to do. We will definitely come back!"

Beautiful 5 bedroom home just steps from the beach
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (13)
"We stayed here for a long weekend with our group of 7 adults and 1 infant. We absolutely loved this property, and it was the perfect place for our large group. We would love to come back again in a heartbeat! The three levels of the property worked out great, since our group included multiple families from all across the U.S. Having separation with the three levels for sleeping and also communal places to gather, like the game room and living room, worked out great for our group. Everyone had...

"We were visiting our daughter who attends UC Santa Cruz and wanted a place not too far from campus. This property was perfect! It was just 20 minutes from the college and wow is it gorgeous! The cottage is warm, welcoming and comfortable. The property is private and secluded, perfect for anyone who likes to spend time outdoors. This place is a true gem."

"My husband and I stole away an extended weekend to celebrate our Anniversary. This beautiful, relaxing, and stunning carriage house is located north of the boardwalk and south of the surf museum and surfers coves. We spent the entire time walking leisurely along the promenade, loving every moment, preparing food from the sweet open kitchen. The place is so cute with outstanding details that felt so completely home and personal. We cannot wait to return ASAP."

Capitola 'Rose Cottage' in the Heart of Capitola Village
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (52)
"Our second visit, this is a great spot. Grandparents and grandkids alike love it. Note to owners: a little maintenance work on front showerhead and replacing burnt out light bulbs in several rooms would give great bang for the buck. All told, those are minor inconveniences and this place is magical. The walk to the beach and around town is unbeatably convenient. Great spots out of the town center are also a short walk like Gayle's and Sante Adarius. The corner market has surprisingly good...

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was super clean, well organized, and had everything we needed. The king-sized bed was ultra comfortable. The view across the little valley from the living room window and deck was gorgeous. We were also amazed at how close the house was to multiple hiking trails in the redwood groves! We didn’t have enough time to hike them all. We will definitely be back!"

"We loved our stay at the cottage! The house was immaculate and comfortable. I loved the thoughtful details like the record player with vintage albums (my daughter enjoyed playing them!), the shampoo and body wash in the shower, and the Nespresso pods. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The location is very convenient for grocery shopping (nearby Whole Foods and Trader Joe's) and you're two minutes away from Pizza My Heart. Brayton was very responsive and helpful with...

"Finding it was a little tricky. It’s off the highway but all you see is the little garage which can be deceiving. The house is nice with plenty of room that fit our family of 7. It’s fully stocked with everything you need, all you have to do is buy some groceries. Property manager was easy to contact and answered my questions. Awesome weekend"

"Quaint, charming, perhaps a little outdated and neglected (screens on door were ripped, had to get down on hands and knees to turn on old heater). So why did I rate it a 5? It was everything I wanted - an authentic 1920s cottage right on the creek, that wasn't charging an arm and a leg. The setting can't be beat! Would highly recommend!"
