Sep 16, 2024 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Annual Girls Trip - Capitola Art and Wine Festival I must of clicked on wrong property because it wasn't what I thought I had rented but the paperwork gave the address of what I had agreed to. It smelled musty. Floors were not clean. Glasses in cupboard were not clean. Bathroom setup was odd. Furniture setup in one room was odd. It was not what we are use to staying in when we go on vacation in Capitola. The location was great, perfect for going downtown. I will make sure next time that I pay attention to the pics of the place and amenities when I book next time. ##### Sheila M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Nancy L. Nov 26, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### It suited our needs This property is a cinder block home. It was located by my niece’s new shop that she recently opened, which was the reason we booked it. Although, I usually prefer to stay in homes on the river, the location was perfect and it was clean. There is a $141 “linen fee” & I was disappointed that the towels were such low quality. ##### Nancy L. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tamara C. Oct 26, 2022 #### Girls Weekend! Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome weekend at this property. Perfect for me and my sister. Great location and we walked around a lot. 1 block from the beach and amazingly clean! We plan on coming back!! ##### Tamara C. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Two Bunch Palms Spa Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Two-Bunch-Palms-Spa-Resort-Adults-Only.h1338988.Hotel-Information) > - [Miracle Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miracle-Springs-Resort-Spa.h22765.Hotel-Information) > - [ The Westin Mission Hills Resort & Villas for COACHELLA 2020 (1st weekend)](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Cochella-Stay-At-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Resort-Villas.h34078793.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Golf Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Golf-Resort-Palm-Springs.h351.Hotel-Information) > - [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-I.h661796.Hotel-Information) > - [Fantasy Springs Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Fantasy-Springs-Resort-Casino.h1138282.Hotel-Information) > - [SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-SeaCrest-OceanFront-Hotel.h1365352.Hotel-Information) > - [Azure Palm Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Azure-Palm-Hot-Springs.h64615882.Hotel-Information) > - [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > - [Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Renaissance-Esmeralda-Resort-Spa.h12274.Hotel-Information) > - [V Capri Palm Springs, a Dolce by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-V-Capri-Palm-Springs.h13065796.Hotel-Information) > - [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Barbara-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton-Bacara.h523758.Hotel-Information) > - [Residence Inn By Marriott Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Palm-Desert.h201084.Hotel-Information) > - [Desert Breezes Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Desert-Breezes-Resort.h18709.Hotel-Information) > - [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h23876.Hotel-Information) > - [Best Western Plus Palm Desert Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Palm-Desert-Resort.h890044.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > - [Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Desert-Springs-Villas-II.h57218.Hotel-Information) > - [Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Miramonte-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16768.Hotel-Information) > - [Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Agua-Caliente-Resort-Casino-Spa-Rancho-Mirage.h2020169.Hotel-Information) > - [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > - [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > - [Indian Wells Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Indian-Wells-Resort-Hotel.h14026.Hotel-Information) > - [The Sandman Santa Rosa Sonoma, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Rosa-Hotels-The-Sandman.h919721.Hotel-Information) > - [Sea Mountain Inn Nude Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Sea-Mountain-Inn-Nude-Resort-Adults-Only.h27490625.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Embarc-Palm-Desert.h328421.Hotel-Information) > - [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information)
