Capitola Nook Along The Creek.

January, 2024
Hope you All are safe and sound,
Mother nature made her presence felt again this winter. Many folks have been asking if the village is open, due to the storm damage. All restaurants and shops are open, the wharf, will remain under construction for 2024.
Fortunately, our cottage was unharmed by the large ocean swell and the torrential downpours of rain in early January. The beauty of this unique spot in Capitola Village is reservable for traveller's.
This charming setting and cottage has become known as the first home built along the creek. There are numerous traces and remnants of historic Capitola hidden, but still remaining in this old beach town. This unit is one of them and is available to be rented anytime of year. Take advantage of these great seasonal rates!

Recently renovated, this cozy historic 2 bedroom 1 bath riverfront cottage is located in the heart of the Capitola Village. You can enjoy this peaceful habitat setting, relaxing in the most spacious yard, or on the deck overlooking the coastal wildlife along the banks of Soquel Creek. Certainly, walking a two-minute trail stroll to Capitola’s most popular beach, wharf, shopping, bars & restaurants is an option as well. This furnished beach cottage is in an ideal location and provides the perfect retreat for a family or friends.

This sweet craftsman is in the shape of a duplex now that does share 1 wall and the front patio. However, it has not lost it's original and historic charm. To whom will you be sharing the wall with? Well, a very nice tenant who has complete understanding that we rent our side unit during the summer. The tenant keeps to themselves and you may see a glimpse of him/her coming and going. Situated in the Riverview Terrace neighborhood, you will feel like you have a very private setting. We have been renting for numerous years now and have yet to have any issues with this arrangement.

This is a great place for a couple or two. A small family can also, comfortably enjoy this great little village without hassle! Relax on the deck with a drink overlooking the creek. Cuddle up with your honey or with your loved ones while taking in the smells and sounds of this coastal riparian corridor.

Most importantly, we want visitors to know that we are doing our best to maintain a clean and safe environment for all of us to have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation experience. Please feel free to inquire or advise us with any specific questions or concerns that you may have. Thank you and be kind!

Bucket List Stay on Soquel Creek
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!

Perfect spot in Capitola
I enjoyed my weekend at this creekside property. The weather cleared up enough that I could sit outside and read and watch the ducks at sunset. And downtown is just a hop, skip and jump away! The house was quiet and had all the amenities I needed. Glad I found this place!

Great hidden gem in a great location!
We loved our stay here and the location was amazing! Right on the river, super quiet and wonderful location. Easy 2 min walk to downtown Capitola, the beach and shops. Parking spot in the property driveway was great - especially given the limited parking in capitola and gave easy access to the rest of Santa Cruz. Kids loved feeding the ducks on the dock on the river right out front - super peaceful. Will stay again!

Just what we needed! Loved walking around and being able to have a few days of peace near the water. Cottage was even bigger than expected and was very cute!

Property misrepresented
Property is nothing like the photos. Old, rundown place, using towels instead of floor mats, old and worn kitchen supplies all mismatched, no water in the shower so had to wash hair in kitchen sink, no blankets for bed just a pile of thin quilts, etc. etc. Checked out after one night and still had to pay cleaning fee. Only thing this place had going for it was the location.

Peaceful vacation by the river
This house is right on the river in Capitola; the ducks are waiting when you walk outside with your coffee in the morning! It is also right on a path that takes you straight into town and to the beach! Great views, and ambiance. Very mellow vibe. The owner and property manager are very helpful and nice. Rooms are spacious and clean; everything you need to cook is provided. I highly recommend!
