Riverview Beach Bungalow

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 42 reviews5 days ago

Terri's place is fresh and clean. It appears to be recently renovated, with gorgeous interior design, an open kitchen, and lovely landscaping. This was definitely one of the cleanest Air BnB's we have stayed in. Pristine inside and out. The kitchen is well appointed and had all of the appliances/cooking utensils we needed. The garden is gorgeous (there's that word again) and gets a lot of comments from people walking the river. A beautiful stroll along the river path gets you to the shops and restaurants at the esplanade. We cannot wait to return! Something not in Terri's control (obviously) is the traffic. Bring your patience every time you leave the location in your vehicle. Capitola and the surrounding towns were not designed for the sheer amount of people who come visit, so every outing in a car is slow going. Just enjoy the view and plan ahead.

Beach House-HotTub-Srfbrds-Bikes

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviews3 days ago

We loved the space! Enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and enclosed backyard (perfect for kids!). The surf boards and bikes were awesome to have as we enjoyed bike rides along the coast and my husband enjoyed riding a long board as we only travel with a short board. They even had a tool kit to adjust the seat heights on the bike, thanks! The outdoor shower was great as it also had hot water! Walking distance to a beach and cat and cloud (a great coffee spot). The hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with. Thanks for a great stay!

Upscale Newly Remodeled Cabin

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 24 reviews1 month ago

6 of us stayed here for our Santa Cruz elopement and this was the most perfect AirBnB I've ever stayed at. Everything is very clean and beautifully renovated. Beautiful decorations, furniture and serene views from all of the windows. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee and necessities, all the bedrooms were comfy and bathrooms clean and elegant. It was cold and rainy so we didn't get to enjoy the terraces but loved watching the downpour from the living room couch.

Family Beach Retreat with Hot Tub and Beach Access

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 61 reviews2 weeks ago

Steve's place was awesome. Close to the beach, a rooftop deck, and plenty of room for all of us to sleep and hang out. Kitchen had everything we could have needed, and the hot tub was a nice treat at the end of the day. We appreciated having a couple beach cruisers available to ride down to one of the nearby beaches in the evenings.
