"Room is very clean with clean towels too. Lot of parking space and very convenient. Only that our room is right next to the entrance door and stairs, so every-time we hear steps and doors. Definitely if there’s a chance of coming back to visit, i would stay again here."

"The hotel was nice and had beautiful views of the ocean. The room was much bigger than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise! It was within walking distance of local restaurants, and the beach was just a short walk away, making it easy to get down to the sand and enjoy the ocean. Overall, it was a great location!"

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was for a multi generational family birthday. The location was wonderful. It’s in easy walking distance to Capitola Village for shopping and dining. Being literally steps from the beach allowed the children to spend a lot of time at the beach. We brought frisbees and kites. Leonard, the host, had lots of sand toys for the kiddos to use as well as beach chairs and an umbrella. The home had plenty of room for the ten of us to spread out. When we arrived Leonard met us and showed us around his home. He also made sure to give us his personal parking spot. You get two parking passes for the street parking about eighty feet from the front door as well as the village. On the weekend it’s better to plan on not moving your vehicle once you get it parked. Finding another spot close by can be tough. Also if you have three vehicles you can be playing musical cars but all in all if you know ahead of time you can plan accordingly and the parking is very doable. Overall we had a great time at Leonard’s home."

"We really enjoyed our stay. Loved that we had a garage for the car, so we didn’t have to find parking. Our bed was very comfortable. Loved that the house allowed our dog. If thee was anything to change, it would be a more comfortable couch, but there are two very nice leather recliners. We had a lovely dinner at Shadowbrooke. We would stay here again."
