Capitola Venetian Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent
"The pots and pans are not included in the property but can be rented if needed. We were surprised to see they had paper towels, dish soap, sponge and salt and pepper for use. The place was spacious enough for us and the location cannot be beat! Literally a few steps to the beach, made it easy to go out as many times as we wanted. We will definitely be back!"

"Wonderful location and charming setting. Very, very nice management and reception. The old Victorian house hase been renovated a few years ago but is maintaining a good level of refinement. Some of the rooms that look over the Ocean are just amazing! Do not expect too much from breakfast: coffee, a bagel, and some chopped fruit."

"The pictures accurately reflect the property. The location was great. What we had problems with was the two set of stairs to the unit. Both my wife and I are in our mid-seventies and I have arthritic knees and Achilles tendonitis which made the stairs a minor challenge. Our dog is 12 and is small (14 pounds) and could not climb the stairs. This meant that we had to carry the dog while climbing the stairs. We had a good time but the unit did present some challenges."
