Top Potbelly Beach Hotel Reviews

Capitola Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It's cozy and comfortable. I wish the parking is marked for the hotel so we didn't have to park at the paid parking."

Monarch Cove Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is always nice and pleasant, nice people! The room was clean and the property is is well kept and very quiet! It sits right on a cliff, you can sit out out and look at the ocean! The breakfast is delicious ! I have been going there for over 15 years! Will be going back soon!"

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel wth excellent restaurant and bar and helpful staff. Main complaint was fire alarm test going off early in the morning for two consecutive days. Also hotel not within easy walking distance of beach."

Capitola Venetian Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"The Venetia could not have a better location. Right on the beach, a 2 minute walk to restaurants, shops and coffee. Iconic design and so much history. The units are old obviously but well maintained. We had a main bedroom, tiny private bedroom with a twin and a double in the living area. small kitchen if you prefer to have a cooking option. We chose an ocean view, and could see and hear the ocean over the front building (privately owned units). Night volleyball and beach strolls, a foot wash before entering. The bathroom was tiny and four of us had to take turns but again it is an old historic property. You are definitely paying for location and view over interior. I would stay again."

"My family and I had a comfortable stay in this house, which was conveniently located near the beach. However, the narrow streets in the neighborhood made it challenging to maneuver a large vehicle. Despite this, the house met all the advertised features, and we had a pleasant experience."

Capitola Village Work-Live Loft - Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Be prepared for paid parking"

Capitola Vista #1- Dog-friendly

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for our Car Week trip. Everything was great, easy in and out. It was clean and well stocked. Not an issue but the driveway to the parking is very steep, worth noting, not a problem. Would stay again!"
